Did the US Military make a mistake when they thrust women onto the front lines of combat? Of course they did. Political correctness has forced the military to perpetuate a false narrative about women: women can easily handle all the horrors, stresses and demands of front-line combat with enemy males.
Well, there’s some new data from the Military Health System Research Symposium. More than 1,000 military women have experienced combat-related injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than half of the injuries happened during the woman’s first deployment. Of the 1,012 women in the study [[2]], 40 percent were diagnosed with a mental health disorder within the first year. This was not supposed to happen. Political dogma implies women are, in fact, supermen. So, instead of rejecting a dangerous policy, women must be changed to fit the narrative. Women must be altered to be more man-like in the face of death, carnage, and physical abuse. How will the military affect this change? Researchers indicate that this will be attempted scientifically, with experimental drugs designed to make women “resilient” to the anxiety, depression and psychological trauma that comes with the injury, cruelty and death of real-world warfare. In the meantime, how much more unnecessary harm will be done to American women? Comments are closed.
