Women Eyed For Iraq Combat

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/22/eveningnews/main650979.shtml

The Army has lost nearly 800 soldiers to hostile fire in Iraq - 24 of them 
women.

Pamela Osborne, a mother of three, was killed in a rocket attack two weeks 
ago.A roadside bomb hit Jessica Cawvey's convoy. Kimberly Hampton was 
piloting a scout helicopter for the 82nd Airborne when she was shot down.

It may not be official yet, but women are serving in combat.

======


More body bags.  Female.

Let's just drop the age of enlistment to 14 and be done with it.

Look for A Draft, we only got so many women we can spare.

The Iraqis apparently have plenty they can sacrifice to bullets, bombs and 
bayonets.

We don't.  We need our chicks over here.  They wanna "serve in the military"..?

Great.

We want them coming home in one piece though, just like we want the men, in 
wars concocted and perpetuated by madmen, and madwomen.

End all wars.

Bring sanity back to government.

Lookin' for a miracle here in hell's alley...

What makes us human is our hearts, not our bombs.

Any fool can start and perpetuate endless wars.

Oh well, we obviously have our share of those...

At least the price of a gallon of gasoline hasn't yet reached the price of 
a gallon of milk yet.

Be happy, at least that's something.

Right.......?

If there's one thing America can claim it's that our cows must run on 
rocket fuel.

When the price of gasoline some day surpasses the price of milk, I think we 
should just start dropping cows on our enemies around the world, it would 
be much cheaper in the long run.

That way we wouldn't have so many of our people coming back in body bags 
from needless wars.

When the enemy saw the cow finally hit the ground, they would go out and 
begin to strip it for food, and we could blow their brains out and use a 
lot less bullets.

The taxpayers would save a fortune.

Women in combat..?  24 dead in Iraq so far..?  More to come..?

Do bodybags really discriminate sexually...?

I don't think so.

Oh well, no disrespect of the dead, but how long does this madness go on...?

For years and years and years and years as Rumsfeld etc have predicted...?

I'm *already* sick and tired of reading death statistics from it.

When all this crap starts to die down somehow briefly far in the future, if 
that is what happens, I have absolutely no idea how you're going to do it, 
but to find a way, as in that old cliche?, of anytime someone wants to have 
a war, all the people in their Congresses, Parliaments, White Houses, 
Etc's, are the actual ones that have to go down into the field and do 
combat, would be a nice idea.

Ah, dreams...  Funny things...  They're just dreams floating in the air.

What the heck, keep them anyway.

For some of us, that's all we have ever had...

Indeed, be all that you can be, just don't come back in body bags because 
of the madness of the Insanos at The Top.

How can you fight "City Hall", though....?

It is kind of like a casino run by racketeers who just pass their control 
over taxpayers money from Century to Century.

The odds remain with the house.

They get the profits, we get the body bags.

One can only hope various people in America put as much oomph into the next 
Senate races as they are doing for this one on Nov. 2.

"Hobbitses....  Ah, yes, nice juicy hobbitses...  Cruel, they are to 
Smeagol, but we'll let HER take care of them...  Come, come nice masters, 
the tunnel is just ahead, we are almost to the end....."
