Women in combat is nothing to celebrate about. Feminism is not about allowing women to fight in direct combat (Military ceiling lifted-Jan.25). Let's not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors campaign of leveling the playing field for servicewomen. Women need equal pay and equal voices NOW! not equal opportunities to kill other people.
Women know what happens in war since they are often the direct targets of bombings, rape, and torture. Let's not celebrate this so-called victory of allowing our nation's poor women of color go and kill other poor women of color in the name of our empire.
This is not a step forward. War does not bring peace. I am no more in favor of women in combat than the men in combat. "Ban both sexes from killing people in combat"
Some of your thoughts on this subject would be appreciated by this writer. And Thank You for reading my blog.
