War Stories

OLD post, but had to voice something that is apparantly unclear to 'cory'. Women have proven time and time again, they have the ability to be in combat. An 18 year old girl, Spc. Brown, recently recieved the Silver Star for her risking her life to save the lives of 2 severely wounded soldiers.

She was the only Medic available, and performed her duties as a medic as well as engaged in combat to save the lives of her fellow soldiers.

Because you are INCAPABLE of understanding, think of the fact, that without her there to save those lives, someone's husband... maybe YOUR OWN, would not have been saved, would not be coming home... Calling them "Wh**es"... Dare you to tell one of them that to their face. You are a gutless, inconsiderate woman.

I heard a young female soldier, who had her legs blown off from a mortar attack, while she was covering a wounded soldier.... "I lost my legs doing my job, saving a soldier's life. My legs for his life? I would gladly make that sacrafice again."

Grow up, 'Cory'.. Life is life, whether it is a MAN protecting his own family or the life of others, or it is a Woman doing the same thing, doesn't matter.

MORE WOMEN POLICE OFFICERS have lost their lives in the line of duty... say what you will, Women's role in our society is changing. Just because you cannot grasp it, means you will never understand the fundamental facts of life... Sad thing you've already procreated.... Thats one GENE in the pool that humankind doesn't need.

okay. i have to say that i am really offended by cory's comment. i am currently a private in the us army and am waiting to go to basic training. i think that if women serve beside men, it won't create huge problems. in the military you have to conduct yourself with pride and respect. and all those "scandals" you're talking about. well there really aren't that many. the media is just exploding them to make them look worse than they are. and trying to make it look like women in the military is a bad thing. and the part about trying to be boys? i just don't think that that is appropriate. someone has to fight for you. but i have a question cory. if it was between me, a female that is going to fight for you, or your husband who would you choose. and here is the really hard work, being in the military and raising a family. i would really like for you cory to not be so against the military. it is a great option for most people and it helps a lot of people find their way. but please don't be so hostile to those who are serving because they are willing to die in order for you to live. and REAL women work hard at whatever they are doing. a real women does what she wants and does her best at it. some women were destined to fight for other women, and some women were destined to raise a family. you can't say that it is hard work being in the military because yes the physical requirements are difficult but putting the thought in your mind that you are willing to be away from home for years at a time, and possibly never see your family again is what i would call REAL hard work and being a REAL person, no matter the gender.

i am doing a report on information on women in combat. and i would like some more information.

Women don't belong in the military. Now, I am a woman and a mother and never would I ever consider a miliatry career. I simply have no respect for the women that do, I find them offensive. Besides, with all the sex scandals who wants women serving alongside men? Doesnt that just create problems? How about being real women and doing the really hard work of growing and supporting a family. Stop trying to be boys, you wh*res, and start being REAL women. You make me sick.
