Hey, your link talked about male medics and I qoute, “» Create a simple kit that allows women to self-test for urinary or vaginal infections without having to approach a company medic, often a man, about symptoms.”

My link indicated there was at least one female medic in combat. Not only was this female medic good she was exemplary. Yet, you minimize her contribution. She was awarded the 3rd highest medal, not just "some" medal as you describe it. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you are too dim witted.

Now you mental midget, leave me alone you piss me off with your idiocy.

Why did you put “some” medal in quotes, I never said that.

Nancy Pelosi and you want things that only harm us, they do not benefit us.

You cannot burden real warriors with females to slow them down and dilute their effectiveness, and endanger their lives.

Warriors are specially trained and equipped to penetrate deeper, stay longer, move about more freely, and carry a bigger load, not exactly female stuff.

Our neighbor’s daughter joined the army after high school and is a medic. She spent her first tour in a base hospital in Iraq. She didn’t care for that as she was usually taking care of locals and not our guys.

For her second tour she requested to be on patrol in Afghanistan, where she was sent again for a second tour. She said along with treating her guys when they were wounded, she was also an important part of the community relations bit when they would get to a village and she could treat the women and girls, which gained the trust of many more of the villagers. Who were then more likely to point out where the bad guys were, mined roads, etc. the male medic took care of the men and boys, but not quite the same thing.

I imagine she would be the first to agree that she couldn’t do all that her guys could do on the physical level. But by being a female - she also served a very important role that none of the guys could.
