LAWRENCE AUSTER writes: Looking at the picture of Bush dancing with a female veteran who has a prosthetic device in place of a leg, I repeat something I’ve been saying for over twenty years: a country that, not as a matter of necessity, but as a matter of choice and discretion, puts women in combat or [...]
MARY M. writes: There are traditional ways for patriotic women to support the military without joining. Somehow those traditional forms of support have been forgotten or demeaned in the rush to push women into combat.
HERE is an undated photo from the Facebook page of the Tea Party showing George W. Bush dancing recently with an injured veteran. The sight of a woman dressed in military fatigues says a lot about what a society thinks of women. But the sight of a woman who has lost her leg [...]
JILL FARRIS writes in response to the post on the Navy’s “Love Boat culture:” Of course, the inevitable result of sex between shipmates under stress are unplanned pregnancies resulting in abortions.

JAMES P. writes: The Daily Mail reports that the Army has developed a new type of body armor for women. I am reminded of the old Secret deodorant ad — “strong enough for a man, made for a woman.” Of course, that armor won’t help them when their Afghan “colleagues” shoot them after they remove their body armor…

MELANIE writes: I’ve been reading your website for about a year now. I came across it at a time in my life when I was struggling with a lot of confusion in my family, as well as with my own conscience. You have been an inspiration and comforting reassurance to the “traditionalist” feelings I’ve always [...]
N.W. writes: Your post on women in the military reminded me of an incident that occurred about a year ago when I was enlisting in the Marine Corps. The senior enlisted man at the recruiting substation was a woman. Under her command were a number of men. She addressed the group of Delayed Entry Program [...]

BRUCE writes: It suddenly dawned on me this morning that with the ongoing feminization of the police and military, a watershed has been crossed, a step that demonstrates the profound unreality of modern life.
