Mothers Against the Draft

The twists and turns of the Jessica Lynch story

It is ridiculous that we have allowed 105-pound females to be captured, beaten, raped, and sodomized in the name of social experimentation and equal opportunity. It is bad enough that we have male soldiers blown apart and killed. Do we really want to have our wives and daughters returned to us in body bags or with the often devastating physical and mental scars of war? What does it say about our society that we send women to fight our wars for us?

Female soldiers eyed for combat

The Army is negotiating with civilian leaders about eliminating a women-in-combat ban so it can place mixed-sex support companies within warfighting units, starting with a division going to Iraq in January.

Report leans toward women in combat

Internal Army documents advocate changing Pentagon rules on mixed-sex units in a way that critics say will risk placing female soldiers in ground-combat situations.

Pentagon Plans to Use Women

"Army manpower cannot support elimination of female soldiers from all units designated to be unit of action elements," the Army document states. The document further states that by not including women, it "creates an immediate personnel readiness impact: issue of insufficient male soldiers in inventory to fill forward support companies ... Creates potential long-term challenge to Army; pool of male recruits too small to sustain force."

"Is a young man bound to serve his country in war? If it is the duty of a young man to serve his country under all circumstances then it is equally the duty of an enemy young man to serve his. Thus we come to a moral contradiction and absurdity so obvious that even clergymen and editorial writers sometimes notice it."
~ H.L. Mencken
