14. First off, Savage wasn't talking about that
He wasn't attacking "women in the military" he was attacking the soldier for a) complaining about lack of equipment and b) those that disobey orders for any reason as "cowards" and that is was a "Kerry setup". He then threw in a sexist, repulsive attack for good measure, that's all. You are the one who turned it into a discussion of that issue.

I don't live in a bubble and I am well aware, as many are, of the attitude of some men toward women in the military. I'm not fainting from shock at hearing these "ugly truths" that guys talk about when the "girls" aren't around. Believe me, they talk about it right in front of them.

Finally, you seem to think there is a "problem" that needs to be discussed. I don't. Women serve in the military and will continue to do so. Those that have a problem with it will just have to deal because the excuses you posted are well-refuted bullshit. The problem in Iraq isn't women in uniform.
