More upside down liberal lunacy .... let's celebrate women serving in combat.

Once upon a time, people had enough sense to view combat as something to be avoided as much as possible, but .... not anymore ... no, no, no ... we should all celebrate the privilege ... woo hoo!

I swear, you just can't make this kind of crazy stuff up.

You're wasting your time and so am I ..... taking sense to these delusional people is a futile exercise.

How does not signing up with selective service or not being drafted make someone a danger to themselves and those around them?

As for the training requirements, women should certainly have to meet the same requirements as men if they are training for the same positions. And those requirements should actually be related to the duties of that position.

Crazy isn't it?

Female vets cheer new era for women in combat: 'It's about time!' - U.S. News

Do you think all the women quoted are liberals?

That's just mho.
I'm a woman, so I think you're a bit confused - LOL.

Either way, it should still be the woman's CHOICE whether or not to take that risk... I don't have any children, so why does it matter if I decide to die on the battlefields? Sure, my parents and siblings would care; but don't the families of fallen men care too? (not that I personally have any interest in fighting, just talking hypothetically)
