Female Soldiers Eyed For Combat
The Army is negotiating with civilian leaders about eliminating a women-in-combat ban so it can place mixed-sex support companies within warfighting units, starting with a division going to Iraq in January. Despite the legal prohibition, Army plans already have included such collocation of women-men units in blueprints for a lighter force of 10 active divisions, according to Defense Department sources. Some Pentagon officials, who asked not to be named, said the proposed Forward Support Companies are at the least "skirting" the existing ban if not violating it. They suspect the new units are a way to inch women closer to land combat despite Congress' prohibition against it.

I want to express my deep disappointment and my utter lack of confidence in George Bush as a President. He has sent American mothers and even teenage girls to be shot at, captured, raped and killed by cruel barbarians, in a faraway and needless war. My outrage over this is such that I cannot in good conscience vote for him in the coming election."
