| Glenn Reynolds: Beat them with girls |
| 2001-10-24 |
The Washington Times notes that while women are among the pilots dropping bombs on Taliban targets, the Special Forces teams on the ground are all-male, pursuant to American law. That's probably as it should be, though InstaPundit.com, borrowing from an old Bill Murray gag, makes a clever argument for women in combat: "Beating the Taliban is nice. But beating them with girls will be a humiliation that will take the wind out of Islamist militancy for years. I think we should be saturating the mideast with television footage of female soldiers and pilots." |
