- This war veterans observations at the VA tells me that they''re equiped to handle them. In fact, much of the staff is female! Something tells me that the fact that most doctors, nurses, etc., are activist, liberal Democrats are making much ado about a non-issue for no good reason. The overwhelming liberal presence in medicine also argues that the extremely imbalanced environment couldn''t possibly lead to objectivity or neutrality either.

- Hello America the next day
Fuzzy are you going to tell us more about your Big Toe ?
why yes, you didn`t think I would leave you hanging?
and since politics has hit an all time low.
lets see, oh yes the Toe
well after some pursuassion I took my big toe that got caught in a chain saw, down to the Walk in ER (not the name), I just love the gastly look the receptionist gives, when you tell her you caught your Big toe in a chain saw!
anyway the Doctor was mad because I didn`t bring it in immediately, she said that she could have sewed it up, What is it with you men?
any way so a Nurse #1 with a turtle smock gives me two shots a tetnus, and sumthin, then proceeds to flush a toe that has already closed itself with no success, Fuzzy did a really thourough cleaning,
then Nurse #2 the little meany, wheels Fuzzy into the sterilization chamber gives me a lead loin cloth and blasts me with high energy photons (x-rays),
which probably killed any bacteria.
then Nurse #3 (hindu) comes in and puts a bandge on my toe,
then Doctor she comes back in and says your x-ray looks clean, but we need to see big toe in a couple of days, then she asks if I want any pain killers on my prescription and I say no, Fuzzy is impervious to pain.
so after 4 hours, 3 x-rays, and two pin pricks,
and $20 deductible
that was my exciting day at the ER. with my Big Toe
sincerely Fuzzy Bear
p.s. after seeing that gal on the stretcher (see photo above, my big toe doesn`t seem so bad) - Reply to this comment

I was brought up old school so that is why i believed that way. Todaty is a new era and i am proud to say my daughter served honorably and did what she had to do in combat. I have always had a high respect for women. I was glad i was not faced with having them in combat with me. It made decisions easier. I know i probably killed women and children, but they were enemy combatants. - Reply to this comment
- I prefer women not be in combat because as a man we are taught to protect our women. If a woman was in a combat situation we would not leave her behind , even if it got us all killed. By Patriot
Precisely!!! Why should our fighting men also be put at risk because they are busy protecting female soldiers instead of fighting the enemy? - Reply to this comment

I prefer women not be in combat because as a man we are taught to protect our women. If a woman was in a combat situation we would not leave her behind , even if it got us all killed, if we had to leave a man well we were prepared to do that. So i think it is the physcological makeup that men are taught that is the drawback as well. I had a woman commander once. I would have followed her into hell if she led. She didn''t get where she was without being capable. I had total respect for her. - Reply to this comment
- They are an exceptioin but they do exist

Yes, they are the exception!!!!!
I grew up on a farm and performed excruiating, back breaking, labor for years before I joined the military back in 1969. However, I grew up in a situation where I really didn''t have a whole lot of association with men prior to military service. I had NO IDEA of the difference in physical strength. I know that most combat does not occur in trenches, situations do occur where hand to hand combat may be necessary. Except for the rare exceptions, men will take a woman down every time. Why should we put America''s women at risk on a whole sale basis? - Reply to this comment

What nees to be done is stop invading countries illegally just because they think differently from us. I have seen women who can beat men senseless. They are an exceptioin but they do exist - Reply to this comment
- There is NO wold class athletic competition where women are put in the arena with men. If women are as physically capable as men in hand to hand combat, why don''t we see women in the NFL? Maybe the NFL has more sense than the U.S. policies on women and military service. If my statements are unpopular and unpolitically correct, too bad. Sue me.

- When I was in the Army, it was the old Army where women were confined to support roles. I saw enough combat casualties to last me past a life time, and heard enough stories from the soldiers that I was thoroughly convinced by the time I ETS''d that women do NOT belong in combat. This is one issue that thoroughly disgusts me. I can''t believe that our nation sends women into combat. If or when we find it necessary to reinstate the draft, with the "equal opportunity," laws it will mean that we will be drafting our daughters to combat. The US already looks ridiculous enough without us drafting women to send them to combat. The nonsense needs to come to a screeching halt.

My daughter just returned from Iraq. She joined to get her life straightened out and she is an outstanding soldier. When she got caught in a firefight she stood her ground like every soldier. I am very proud of her even though i do not support the war in Iraq. She is also a christain. - Reply to this comment
