sorry... don't agree with you there.

i'm trying to enlist in the Navy's JAG Corps, and see no problem with women
in the Military. that the letter seemed to be a lie is one story, but i
don't see anything wrong with women serving their country, where some of the
men in this country see themselves as above that.

i'm proud to say that women can serve. they are just as American as any man
out there, and in some cases, more so.

I dont buy it, even as her being a Lt. Col... I never met a WM, or bag nasty as the majority of us(Former USMC) called them, that could carry her own weight, let alone defeat a male military person @ anything.. Other than putting weight on and raising the size of a seat required in a hummer from 16 inches to 24 inches...

but thats just my opinion.. and I hate the fact that women are in the military... they don't belong.. plain and simple...

this probably will start a large disussion but I wont put anymore of my $.02 in to it..
