Re: [RC] [RC] - sehredt

There was a time when "military intelligence" was an oxymoron.  C'mon....try 
to move ahead from the 60's...now is not that time.  Teddy Roosevelt summed it 
up when he said, at the turn of the last century, "America will never be loved. 
Feared, yes.  Respected, maybe.  But we will never be loved."  As far as her 
being a target...........more so there than in Bagdad?  I think not.

I can think of one problem.  You said a great idea, since when did the 
military or the government have one great idea?  As well as we're loved all 
over the world, don't you think she might be a target in a military uniform?  
I'd hate to think so, but the way things are going.   Sort of like the 
oxymoron, military  intelligence.     G.Affleck

  What political statement would be made?  That women can do more than hide 
behind burkhas and breed?  That American soldiers are capable of doing more 
than conquering  nations?  Why would it be a bad thing to demonstrate that an 
American, a woman, and a soldier shares this geographical area's historic 
passion for horses?  And is good at it.  Very good.
