Women On The Front Line
Women are barred from U.S. military jobs that would place them on the front line, but some say all troops in Iraq are exposed to ground combat. What do you think?
Al Trevino,
Nurse
“If you ask me, it’s about time America’s proud and deadly fighting women were put in the damn military.”
Gabriel Meyers,
Systems Analyst
“Man, imagine how humiliating it would be to have a crush on a girl in your platoon, only to get your legs blown off right in front of her.”
Renee Blankenship,
Librarian
“Women in the military is a complicated issue in the otherwise black-and-white world of war and combat.”
Ronald Savage,
Locksmith
“I think we should
take women off their pedestals, as they just make them sitting ducks in the battle zone.”
Elmer Whitehead,
Lawyer
“Women are too docile to serve in front-line combat. Their place is back at the prison, sadistically torturing detainees.”
Joy Woodard,
Homemaker
“To their commanders, front-line soldiers are nothing more than objects, warm bodies, pieces of meat. Women should certainly be used to that.”
