If you want to see real "combat war" you need to watch old videos of the wars mentioned above. and you have to ask yourself how many women would have had the nerves, endurance, and stamina to fight that type of war for such long period of time.
If we're fighting an anemy that doesn't have much of what could be consider an "Army"--spaecially an army that's compelled but not willing to fight, nor do they have the weapons to match ours as it was the case with Iraq--then it really makes no diffence to allow women in "combat", if that's what they wish to call it.

I so sick of this Jessica Lynch Rambo bullshit feminism crap. Her co-pilot landed it not her, get your facts straight. She should have been home being a mother to children and a wife to a man.

Major Tammy Duckworth somehow managed to safely land her Blackhawk helicopter full of soldiers AFTER having both of her legs blown off along with most of her right arm as the result of a direct hit in the cockpit by a rocket propelled grenade.

IF America ever gets a draft, EVERYONE SHOULD GO. EVERYONE.
The elites, the middle class and the poor. NO ONE would be able to duck service - no more draft dodging and BULLSHIT AIR NATIONAL GUARDSMEN IN TEXAS.
Women deserve to fight for America just like anyone else. But, they should not be knowingly put in situations where they might be captured and sexualy abused.
to "robgarcia4": tell that to tammy duckworth, who piloted that chopper down with no fucking legs so her buddies wouldn't die. tell me how exactly that is "weak"?
