We were advised today that women who have been serving in combat for many years can now serve in combat. Ain't that swell?
Since the idiotic rib story in the Bible became a given in
the patriarchal lexicon of feminine evolution, women have had responsibility,
culpability and accountability without authority, credibility or
respectability. For the last ten years
of war women have been in combat, however they have not been paid or promoted
accordingly; albeit they have been wounded, some catastrophically, and killed.
I am an old pinko, hippie, commie, peacenik. I personally wouldn't carry a gun or go to war
for anything or any reason. However, for
the women who undertake the defense of these United States by taking up arms,
this is long overdue.
To those who would object I would say, if women don't belong
in combat get them out now! No more
killing, dying and maiming for an ungrateful country that does not respect
them. To ask people to serve without
respect, recompense or recognition is not service it is servitude, which has
been rejected ethically by this nation from the 13th Amendment through the
Suffrage Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, the Feminist Movement all the way
up to today’s decision by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, et. al.
