Don't send women into combat, bring soldiers home



We have been told that the military is willing to assign females to combat roles in all branches, though the Marine Corps isn’t quite sure about this. At face value this looks like what Israel has been doing with much success.
If we look backwards in our “war history” we will see the painful reality that we have not won any war starting with the Korean War.Korea became bitterly divided and North Korea’s ally China is now our biggest trade partner. South Korea is thriving in exporting to the U.S. and Europe. Their Kia comes with a 20 year 200,000 mile warranty on the power train! North Korea is isolated, poor and paranoid. The wars following were Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. These have cost us zillions in dollars at a rate of thousands of you American men and women casualties.  For what?  Big business profits.
If you  read between the media lines you will learn that the leading cause of death in our troops in the Middle East is suicide….not rifle fire. What is that telling us?
Finally, we now are learning that our returned veterans are killing themselves daily, an embarrassment to the military and the VA.
The Washington group is out of our control.Stupid wars, WMDs, wasted tax dollars, wasted young American lives…all for  naught. This has nothing to do with “protecting our freedom.”
To do list:
Reinstitute the draft for all American men and women. War cannot place to burden of war on our underclass which has been the case for years now.
Write to your senators and congresswomen and state we don’t want to be drawn into any more idiotic wars or liberation escapades.
Bring all our warriors home to safety. Let these countries solve their own issues minus our dollars and American lives. Hold off sending our women into lunacy.
