Women in a Liberal Secular Civilization: Only Islam Protects Women!

 

Women Warriors (Letters, Time weekly, March 20, 2006)

 

RE “Crossing the line” (Feb 29), on female troops in Iraq: We nominally exclude women from combat, but as your article explained, women regularly find themselves in full-blown battles. It is the normal instinct of every decent man to protect women and children. That we are sending women-including the mothers of babies-into the cauldron of war is another sign that America has lost its way.

One of the most heartbreaking and infuriating things I have read about President George W. Bush’s filthy war of choice is the deployment of medic Sergeant Dywata Reynolds, who had to leave her 4-month-old daughter to go to Iraq. What has our nation come to? It is becoming increasingly difficult to say I am proud to be an American.
