#1 A comment from a fellow veteran and blogger:

Women in combat units is just politically correct window dressing. If the Pentagon really believed that women could perform in a combat role, they would send all-female units against the Taliban. It is that simple. They will never do that because they really do not believe what they preach. They will only integrate women into male units and expect the men to pick up the slack.

#2 More than a few innocent young female.... 'Female Engagement Team' (FET) members were KIA/WIA in AFG due to roadside bombs (IED's). Needless and very, very sad.

#3 They also were specifically targeted in Iraq too, B. Met with the local women and children until those encounters were regularly bombed.

#4 Besoeker, Heard a comedy routine some time ago. I think it was Bill Murray but I'm not sure. He talked about sending women into combat and then if they lose, "tell the enemy so what you beat a bunch of girls". Win-win.

#5 Ref #3: I didn't see or hear of FETS in Iraq 2006-2008 timeframe. I was doing aviation persistent surveillance stuff then. May have been going on, just not in my sector.
