An Equal Opportunity to Die : /p>

"Exposing female GIs to the Zarqawis of the world is an experiment in equality the left won't abandon no matter what that savage does in the coming days."

As a retired Air Force Senior NCO, that happens to be female, I do not think that American Society is ready. I believe that WHEN an American servicewoman is held hostage, it will once again energize the media (worldwide) and up the debate on the United States and President Bush's policies. Those of us that bear the burden (or have borne that burden in the past) ARE well aware, but not "ready" for its impact.

I do not share the "praises" that the liberal feminists were singing. Each and every death is a tragic loss, to the families, and to the unit to which they were assigned. It has not been published but I am sure that there are still Army personnel, enlisted and commissioned, that have regrets of sending a young mother into harm's way and to her death. I have sent young men and women into harm's way and then prayed for their safe return. I now stand "behind" those on the front, as generations of veterans did when I was on the watch.
