There is no evidence in all history for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to advance women’s rights, promote national security, improve combat readiness, or win wars. That is the kind of equality the feminist movement has always sought.Īrmy regulations have always exempted women from direct ground combat, but the Clinton feminists opened up more “career opportunities” for women in 1994 by getting the Pentagon to eliminate the then-existing “Risk Rule,” a regulation that had exempted women in non-combat positions from assignment where they faced the “inherent risk of capture.” A New York Times editorial brags that Shoshana’s capture shows how the American military has “evolved” and “the case for equal footing is gaining ground.” But, the Times bemoans, the military is “a laggard on the topic of women in combat” and still retains “glass ceilings” that bar women from direct combat. The feminists, however, view Shoshana as a pioneer for women’s rights. No crisis or threat requires our government to send mothers of two-year-old babies across the seas to fight the most brutal terrorists in the world. This is not only a tragedy for Shoshana, it's a humiliation for America and a step backward for civilization. She had signed up to be an Army cook and never dreamed she would be sent into a situation where she could be captured by an evil regime. Army maintenance unit ambushed and captured after the convoy made a wrong turn. Shoshana Johnson, age 30, of El Paso, Texas, the single mother of a two-year-old daughter, was part of a U.S.
In point of fact, women under Saddam Hussein are not equal, whether they are Iraqi women or U.S. Most Americans were shocked to learn that at least one American woman is a Prisoner of War in the clutches of Saddam Hussein (and a couple of other servicewomen are missing), but the feminists see this as proof that women are advancing toward equality with men on the battlefield. Has our nation sunk so low that we are willing to send our daughters and young mothers into battle? Is chivalry completely dead? Breathes there a man with soul so dead that he will not rise up and defend his wife, his sweetheart, his mother and his daughter, against those who want to wound or capture them, whoever they may be? The very idea of women serving in military combat is so unnatural that it almost sounds like a death wish for our species. The push to repeal the laws that exempt women from military combat duty must be the strangest of all aberrations indulged in by the women’s liberation or feminist movement.
