Shouldn't women be allowed to enjoy the 'rush' that comes from bombing and
killing pregnent women, babies, children, bombing orphanages, hospitals,
old folks homes, helpless,scared, unarmed civilians,etc.  that our men have enjoyed for so long?  Also since
one third of American casualties are by "friendly fire"  shouldnt American
women be allowed to participate in blowing away other American Women.
Shouldnt American women be allowed to experience being stripped naked after
being wounded and having arms and legs and genitals amputated without
drugs and painkillers because the 'druggies' stole the drugs?  One half of
Americans were against Viet Nam.  If half the troops had been women 100% would
be against Viet Nam and all other foolish wars!!!!
