If the base is so dangerous that women should wear body armor to serve on one, maybe women should not be on such bases.

Thank you for your concern.

I've been on these bases for seven years.

I made the decision.

I'm allowed to make those decisions because I come from a free country.

I don't need FReepers I have never met making my decisions for me. There is no evidence that such people are better informed on these issues than I. In fact, quite the contrary.

I do not regret my decisions.

Have a nice day.

Way to go Allegra!!!!!

The women who I had the privilege to associate with kept their cool under fire. (including you).

Those who criticize from the comfort and safety of their living rooms posses tunnel vision.

Dear Allegra,

Thank you for your service.

Your personal freedom has nothing to do with who should serve where in the armed forces.

I never intended to make this discussion personal, and the fact that many brave women volunteered to be put in harm’s way is completely unrelated to the arguments as to whether they should be.

I hope you don’t mean to say that opinions contrary to yours should not be expressed on FR.
