@pedrom41 Where did you get the quote "Failing to adequately protect its female soldiers and uphold the military rules meant to minimize women's risks." I am eager to get my hands on this document.

People care more about female deaths. People care more about females in general. It is just sad that women get special treatment in all societal life. It is even more sad that women and some men seem to think that it is men getting special treatment.

......."They were not the one taking offensive actions against the enemy. This is NOT to diminish the role of women in the military and their contribution, but the data of the media are slanted in such a way to promote the euphonious idea that our female soldiers are actually engaged in combat roles. The media is full of such accounts which focus on the emotional sob story aspect and the tragic losses of females military personnel--which the number vary between 71 and 102.

.....than females. It's almost impossible to sift through the mass media accounts of "WOMEN-IN-COMBAT" and get true picture of what is really happening in our Armed Force. But I served my country (Persian Gulf conflict, 2nd Brigade, 1st Calvary Division, Feb. 1991) and I can tell you that I don't want a woman next to me in real combat.

.....the Center for Military Readiness, accused the Army with covertly violating its collocation rule and assigning women to units that support front-line troops. In 2004, in response to a petition Donelley sent to President Bush and the Pentagon, Army Secretary Francis Harvey ordered a systematic review of Army regulations; and under preasure asserted that: "current policies keeping women out of combat and collocated units will stand."

....their loss is felt and diserve recognition. But here's a disturbing dilemma, which contradicts the feminist uproar for "equality." Because of these females fatalities, the military has been charged with: "Failing to adequately protect its female soldiers and uphold the military rules meant to minimize women's risks." Apparently the risk of male soldiers--who do the most fighting and dying--aren't as important as the females. Elaine Donnelley, president of the CMR, or....

....I have a mother, three sisters (one of them in the military), I have lots of unts, and I love each and everyone of them. What I am is anti fabricated lies or simple truth exagerated to suite spaecial interest group's agenda. Out of 4,000+ troops killed in Iraq only 71 of them were females. And out of those 71 fatalities, 33 or so have been among female nurses and support staff. Of course, their death are not to be dismissed as trivial or of less importance. Even if just one life lost.....
