People Are Beginning to Say Very Un-P.C. Things [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

From the Telegraph:

Col Bob Stewart, who was the first British commander of UN forces in Bosnia, yesterday said that he was against women being close to combat as their deaths or injuries had a debilitating effect on male soldiers. "It's disquieting for a lot of people in this country when women are put into the front line because when they are wounded or killed, the men around them find it very difficult to operate," he said.

Col Stewart, who commanded the Cheshire Regiment, said he had twice been present when women soldiers died.

"One was in my arms after a bomb in Northern Ireland and I was inconsolable afterwards. I could not operate.
