| Message | Not allowing Women to serve alongside men on the frontlines is NOT a "sexist" position. Let me explain: Common sense, of course, a woman with the same training can probably shoot better than 10 men and probably can beat them in a fight. Nevertheless, that is NOT the point. The point is that to be quite honest and "crude", unfortunately, Women should not serve on the Frontlines b/c they can get PREGNANT and men cannot. In other words, if a man dies on the battlefield, it is a terrible loss but biologically speaking he is expendable b/c the average male produces 300 million sperm cells a day whereas a woman produces ONE egg cell per month and then it takes 9 months for her to carry the child to term. Think about it: if massive numbers of women die in battle, we as a Nation will not have the capability to RE-populate. Therefore, society should also try to encourage a higher ratio of women to men. Now, the current law does NOT discriminate against women serving in the military, getting promoted, or being a GENERAL or other position of authority. In a nutshell, women can be the GENERAL that leads the army "from the desk" but cannot be on the frontlines for the obvious reasons mentioned abovehand. Thanks and I look forward to your support of a Strong National Defense of the nation. |

| Message | YES, everyone deserves equality, but Men and women are NOT equal IN FACT but only in DIGNITY (respect). For example, we don't go to the same bathroom. If I were a woman, I TAKE this deal in a heartbeat b/c it means that I can file an Anti-Discrimination suit if I am denied the post of "General Christina Savage," but can also file an Anti-discrimination suit if she is order to strap a gun and go to Fallujua, Iraq. |
