After suggesting that the issue of women in military roles has “never gotten a fair and open hearing,” Trotta went on to say: “The political correctness infecting the Pentagon has resulted in silly and dishonest fairy tales about female heroism,” she said. “Has anyone forgotten the Jessica Lynch story?”

“There are countless other stories of fake heroism or exaggerated prowess in which women are the stars, many of them tailored for The New York Times and its agenda to promote militant feminism, no matter what the truth,” Trotta added.

Fake heroism? Exaggerated prowess? Silly fairytales?

The military is not a social services operation, or a testing ground for gender wars. It is a fighting machine. Women are not as strong as men. Their instincts and reactions in crises are markedly different. There’s a reality the left will not face: biology is not destiny.

I am really beginning to believe in time travel because I swear we have people coming to the 21st century form the middle ages (or Victorian era) who are hades bent for leather trying to send women back into their little cubby holes and turn back the equality clock by a couple hundred years.

As a vet myself I find this "woman's" remarks highly offensive and have sent such to Fox. What she is in effect saying is that any time a woman "interferes" or "tresspasses" on a man's field of play she should expect to get raped. What gets me is that she is in a role herself that was once mostly dominated by men.

I'm glad you sent the E mail...I haven't been in the military but have met enough on the Vine that I'm sure you all kick butt. Please not everyone needs to be on the front lines with a rocket launcher.
