I just wanted to pass this along because I do not believe most Americans know this. When Jessica Lynch was taken prisoner in Iraq she was basicly not injured to bad. It was after she was captured she was repeatedly raped and most of her bones broken by rifle butts. You notice the main stream media is not reporting this because it goes against there women in combat goals. But it has been published in a new book by Kate O'Beirne Called Women That make the World Worse. Of course the Israeli's learned this years ago with there women in combat experience. They found that the risk to women was greater than to men because of the added degradation and abuse they are subject to by islamic cultist. The USA needs to rethink it's policy of placing women in direct support roles for combat units and take a lesson from Israel and jessica Lynch.

I was appalled when Jessica Lynch was held up as a "hero" by the media. No, a hero is someone like Alvin York or Audie Murphy. Getting captured and raped doesn't make one a hero. I can't imagine any kids wanting to play soldier Jessica Lynch-style.

Now Jack... didn't you get the memo? Women (and minorities) can do anything men or non-minorities can do as long as the proper accomodations are made! And it's your duty as a man to make those accomodations because women were born with the right to do whatever they want!

I respect Lynch and her efforts but the torture she endured was not necessary. She should have never been placed in that position. Those people are monsters they let there true contempt for women shine through.

I think anyone who went through what she did and survived should be considered a hero. I agree though that she should never have been placed in that position.
We've lost our common sense when it comes to entrance exams and standards for dangerous jobs- it's too important to feel inclusive of everyone even if that means watering down the entrance requirements. People (groups) get so caught up in their 'rights' that they don't think about the situation they are creating.

I think you need to find a different term. "Object of pity", maybe. Definitely not "hero". -

I think Jack forgot to turn the page on the lessons learned from Israeli women in combat. The other thing they learned was that men fighting against the women were far more likely to fight to the death than surrender to women.
That made the exercise counter-productive as the goal is not to kill everyone, but to defeat them at the lowest possible price. -
