Women do not belong on wars’ front lines

Seeing the Jan. 15 Associated Press article about a military advisory committee recommending women be allowed in front line combat units really disturbed me.

It used to be that men protected their women from the horrors of war, but then radical feminists got involved and before you knew what was happening, the social engineers began putting women in harm's way.

The Judeo-Christian ethic taught that women are the weaker sex to be protected, but the secular ethic taught us they were nothing more than sexual toys to be exploited - and the feminists went right along with it!

Opening up the combat option for women will mean that when the draft is reinstituted, your 18-year-old daughters will be required to register. It's bad enough that our men have to go to war to defend our country (and too often forced to die for wrong causes), but do we really want to see our daughters put in this position? What about capture by the enemy; think about what usually happens to women caught by the enemy in wartime - and that's just if they are civilians!

Where are the men who used to protect our women? This world is getting more upside-down by the minute.
