Here We Go Again: Anguish Over Dead Female Soldier

Roy writes "Today's headline on msnbc.com reads ---

"4 women among 6 troops slain in Iraq bombing ---
Lethal ambush underscores hardships of keeping women away from combat."

Gosh, by feminist math, that makes women the majority of the casualties, right? (Never mind that of the nearly 2,000 dead and 14,000 wounded, less than 1% have been women.)

But let's focus on the women's "hardships" even though N.O.W. wants the girlies on the front lines.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - The lethal ambush of a convoy carrying female U.S. troops in Fallujah underscored the difficulties of keeping women away from the front lines in a war where such boundaries are far from clear-cut.
A suicide car bomber slammed into a 7-ton U.S. military vehicle in Fallujah, killing five Marines and a Navy sailor, Marine Corps sources told NBC News, adding that at least four of the dead were women.
