I recently read the news that Jessica Lynch was raped and sodomized while being held by her Muslim Iraqi captors. It really came as no surprise to me that a white, American, Christian woman would be so brutally abused by soldiers whose bible teaches them that it is ok to kick your wife when she is deemed out of line. Though I was not surprised by the report, I am, like any other red blooded man, as mad as a devil about it. Of course, my anger is first and foremost directed at the savage animals who perpetrated this gutless crime. If these men have not already been killed I for one hope they will be soon. If that bothers you, well….

My anger does not stop though with the scum that did this horrible crime. I am angry that women are in combat in the first place. There's really only one way to prevent this heartbreak from occurring in the future – and that is to stop the ludicrous, politically correct, social engineering that puts young women in combat in the first place.

I think it is absurd that our nation would deliberately subject women to such atrocities. Being an equal-opportunity employer is destroying the sacredness of being a woman. Women don't belong on battleships. Women don't belong in the cockpits of fighter planes and bombers that can be shot down behind enemy lines. They don’t even belong in transport trucks if they are serving in a combat theater. That was the capacity in which Ms. Lynch was serving. I guess I am a male chauvinist, but I don’t see women and men the same way. I believe women are the weaker vessel. I believe a lady is to be treasured and honored. I have two daughters and the thought of either of them being drafted or being put in a combat situation is upsetting. Any idiot knows that women are simply not as strong as men. For the sake of political correctness the US Army has lowered the standards time and time again as women are placed into the ranks of the military. This is wrong.

More than 150,000 women served with distinction in during WWII in realistic roles that didn't intentionally place them in high-risk areas or situations. It time, women and the politically correct understood the truth – in days gone by women were valued more highly than the young men whose blood was shed on the battlefields. There is a real difference between men and women. It’s time some real men stood and protected our women, whether woman like it or not,
