warriors of gentler sex

Story in NYT women in arms 8-16-2009 Steven Lee Myers.

Women are fighting on the front lines of our war .They are getting killed and defending their partners as equal .

This is the first time for American men and women soldiers, who are away from home for long periods of time,to live and work in close proximity in war zone. With the culture of sexual freedom and adult autonomy the problems are arising which are more unique for military and not for society.

These are strong women who can hold on their own .Without moral judgement can decide responsible sex if they choose. As only women can become pregnant military has evacuated pregnant women from war zones . Numbers for evacuated women has been very small. These are the signs that military is adjusting to having women as part of its readiness mix.Women by standing strong and adjusting to female particularities to rugged war condition have proven that they are more than match for any enemy or competitor alike.
They have used wide mouthed bottles to pee on the road and have proven that difference in physical equipment(biolgy)can not be allowed to be hindrance in performance of their duty.It is time that every body took these soldiers seriously and for good reason.

PLEASE HONOR PEOPLE ALIVE AND EVEN WITH GIFTS

I have noticed many IMPORTANT AWARDS AND PRISES are given after the good doers are dead. Some times the awards and the cash are given to the victims not heroes.Civilian victims not hero's of 9/11 received 2 million dollars each and our war hero's family gets only 100 thousand dollars till recently it was only 10 thousand dollars.

Mr President and all the people who would like to honor real heroes( the people go beyond the call of duty to help fellow citizens even risking personal harm)please give honors and honorariums to the living.

While at this subject .I would like to mention that we can take a leaf of Indian armed forces and give the war widows/widower salary of the soldiers so that they may raise their children without extreme change in life style and they should not loose it if they marry.

Another thing it should not be required from the soldiers to prove that their injuries are service related.Even if these soldiers got hurt while not serving . Government should be a little magnanimous not a cheap and mean government to ordinary citizens.

Lesser the rules more law abiding the society.Please give the relief to needy without lot of red tape.Food stamps and other services should be easily available without unnecessary hinder some regulation.
