    Just goes to show that the draft is not only evil and immoral, but it doesn't work.

    She claims cutting to 135 will literally kill her.

    She's not. You can't cut down like that on roids. Do you think the Rock can cut down, jabroni!

    Women shouldn't be anywhere near combat, and they should not be deployed in Afghanistan. This is one of the reasons I don't want my son to join the military. I don't want him to see young women killed, or see their body parts scattered all over him. War is tough enough without something like that to deal with.

    And what was the point? What exactly are we trying to achieve in Afghanistan? Why are we throwing away money and young people's lives for a war that nobody believes in?

    On that we agree. Right now there is no point to being there.

    That's not the Marines' concern, which should be to make the Corps perform well to show how useful it can be in a war that Americans do believe in.
