Based on UTI cases that I see here on female soldiers, who already work at a rather clean environment, I wouldn't want to see the aftermath after a few days in the swamp. Of course, any swampy-like portion can always be removed frm Ranger, SEALS, usw training...another double standard can't hurt  |
The problem with women constantly coming down with UTI's has nothing to do with a dirty or clean work environment (I've been in plenty of dirty ones), as much as it has to do with unprotected sex. Most people don't want to acknowledge that. Some people are just nasty. Trust me on that.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
