We don't need your lady parts in the combat zone

Here's what you get when you join the U.S. Army, train as a medic, get assigned in a combat zone and end up saving several of your comrades lives: you get a silver medal (third highest medal you can get) and removal from your assigned post.

Why? Because you're a woman.

(Then) Pfc. Monica Brown (now Specialist) joined the army at the age of 18 and trained as medic. After some time, she was assigned to a combat zone because of her expertise, her ability to do her job well and because she's a woman. Often times there were cultural sensitivity needs for a female medic. One day, her unit came under fire and she bravely protected several of her injured fellow soldiers. She was awarded a silver medal (only the second woman to receive it since WWII) by Vice President Cheney.

Eventually, the regime realized that she's golly shucks! A GIRL. So they yanked her from her post and reassigned her to a non-combat zone (forgive my lack of appropriate military speak) because women aren't allowed to serve in combat. Cuz our menz are there to protect us.

So despite demonstrating that she had the abilities to not only serve as a medic, but also serve under intense and dangerous conditions, she was told she couldn't work in a combat zone because her reproductive organs are located on the inside. Nice.

Here's a medal. Thanks for saving lives and stuff, but you're a girl soo.....clearly you shouldn't have been there. Thanks anyways.

The whole no women in combat rule is pretty lame and several men in high positions will agree that its outdated if not on feminist principles, but on technical terms. It aint like we're fighting the enemy with gun powder and swords anymore. I don't like war, and honestly I'd probably be a draft dodger, but I don't see why women shouldn't have the right to defend their country should they so choose. Ya know?

If gays and women (people the army seems to not want or need) want to risk their lives to defend a country that could give two shits less about them, then by all means go right ahead. Knock yourselves out. And: thank you.
