(Which no doubt would greatly help in combat) <br /><br /><br />Older women in their middle ages are less likely to be experienced at fighting but younger women who haven't gone thru the bumps and bruises of getting old have a MUCH more decent chance at learning to deal with the stress of Post War Syndrome.<br /><br />It all boils down to training. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The problem is most men know to cover up their feelings as crying during a battle will lower the moral of you're army making them less effective which will turn the tides of the war.<br /><br /><br />WhereisJustice?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450215438572772907.post-11343045138076491962009-05-05T05:13:00.000-07:002009-05-05T05:13:00.000-07:00I personally think you should keep your comments t...I personally think you should keep your comments to yourself unless YOU have personally been in a combat situation. I am a female in the military, have been for over 16 years. And I am currently overseas in the combat zone as a civilian, and I am just fine. It is not a question of gender, it is a question of strength and a strong psyche. There are many men that cannot handle combat, let alone women. And yes, it is true that women are not physiologically as strong as men, they can handle a weapon just as good, if not sometimes better. War is not pleasant for anybody, but don't ever judge it based on what you hear, but judge it for yourself, by taking part in it, or listening to someone who has. And as for the liberals vs. the conservatives , I totally agree with what you are saying, but you didn't even mention women in combat! Fight the fight you can win ! So Madeline, keep your views to yourself, or come on over here and join me, and then make your decision. But I am sure that you wouldn't even dare to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450215438572772907.post-35023150039846928232008-11-05T04:58:00.000-08:002008-11-05T04:58:00.000-08:00Our nation is going down the drain.

They will tax the rich so much that when they want to hire the middle class they will not have enough money to pay them. The liberals want to end the war immediately and cause instability to the highest degree in the Middle East. If we withdraw out of Iraq, Al Qaeda will declare victory over the United States and commit acts of terrorism. Not to mention that oil prices will sky rocket. The conservatives, on the other hand, want to stay in the war until the Iraqi government can defend itself and control Iraq. <BR/>The conservatives believe that god will help the United States immensely in every way. The liberals despise anything that has to do with god and religion. For example, if a store manager puts up a sign that says, Merry Christmas, the liberals will tell him to take it down. Let us say you want to buy a candy bar, the liberals will take your well-earned dollar and spend it on the candy bar they want you to have, and take ninety percent of the candy you have and give ten percent to nine other people. The conservatives will let you buy whichever candy bar you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450215438572772907.post-6527842053124177142008-09-23T10:29:00.000-07:002008-09-23T10:29:00.000-07:00I am undecided on this issue.

I would have to admit there are plenty of servicemen and women that I've met that ceertainly had no business being in a combat zone...however I've met many women in the Army that were as tough...more often than not tougher than many men in combat arms. I think the issue is raising the standard for combat troops and making them equal. We know that women are physically different than men, but that shouldn't keep them from doing something if they can meet an equal standard.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 centsMjolnirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09341690966981769766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450215438572772907.post-14538978700509950792008-06-04T19:46:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:46:00.000-07:00No doubt about it.

No amount of forced or affected egalitarianism can change that fact.ptghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079577478993790527noreply@blogger.com
