#1 This is the first time in our nation's history ... when it's ~~normal~~ SHAMEFUL to see female names as part of the war wounded or those killed in action."

Just the humble opinion of an old man eating dust as a "fobbit" in a northern kill zone.

*Fobbit: Forward Operating base inhabitant/REMF who seldom if ever leaves the wire.

#3 Beo: This is perhaps an unintended consequence of all the women's lib actions of the past. But please remember, all these women are in place voluntarily; not one was drafted, in fact they cannot register for the selective service.
The real shame is that the name of those wounded or killed are Americans, regardless of gender.
