"It shouldn't be too hard for you to realise that a woman captured in that environment is in harms way to a greater degree than a man" Whether or not that is true...what does it have to do with your query as to why this soldier was soldiering? (BTW, that woman was not one of the dozen male bodies that were buried outside the hospital, so perhaps you might want to revisit your myths)? "perhaps I should backtrack and say that she may not have been in greater harm than a man" OK. So we may scratch your previous posts on this issue?? "but if the US is concerend at all about Arab sensibilities they should not have women fighting" What are you talking about now?? You've just said she was NOT in greater harm (irrelevant as that comment was). What "sensibilities" do "ARABS" have which speaks against female soldiers attempting to capture or kill them?? "BTW we haven't heard much of Shock and Awe recently have we?" The war in terms of there being any significant resistance or relative danger is over...except for the tiny outside dangers of interference from a third party. Another 2 weeks will wrap it up on that level. "Shock and Awe" was a propaganda reference to the early bombing in Baghdad.
