Annie Gets No Gun

Women in combat? Give peace a chance. But what about Clinton's contribution? Plus: Howie in W.Va. Trump. Finger Politics. Newsweak. ETS etc. And much more.
p> COMBAT BOOTS br> Re: George Neumayr's Does Bush Care? : /p> p>Sincere congratulations to George Neumayr for showing some courage of clear speaking. Women in combat, what a blasphemy. As a WWII participant, it turns my stomach. Neumayr's comments are entirely correct. What needs to be added is the fact that, for each one woman in combat, one male soldier will be required who is either interested in her as a woman, or otherwise feels obliged (logically so) to protect her from harm. In either case, the soldier's attention will not only be directed at the enemy but also toward protecting the female "soldier." Here I put soldier on purpose in quotes since she does not belong near the front lines. Her duties in health care, communications, and other activities way behind in a theater of operations make more sense, and there they are valuable. br> -- Niels de Groot /p> p> Thank you for more documentation of the fraud that is G.W. Bush. br> -- Mark Fallert /p>

George Neumayr's article about President Bush's push to place women closer to combat was truthful and refreshing. I blame the so-called conservative media, especially talk radio, for continuing to look the other way when George Bush (and other GOP RINOS) veer to the left, which is often.
