Doug's Blog: Former Female Soldier Responds To Article of Women in Military

Friends, the following is a mature, but revealing and helpful conversation on the reality of women in the military. God calls it an “abomination” and so should we. I am grateful for this courageous woman to share these insights from her own experience in Operation Desert Storm.

Dear Doug, I just finished reading your heavily researched and outstanding article regarding a potential draft of women for the military. As always, your points were Biblically accurate and your vision is for the future. Thank you.

I have some inside insights that might be of interest to you, having served in the Army for over six years before I became a Christian. The majority of women in the military actually do NOT “pull their weight;” they know they don’t have to do as much as men, so they don’t. Because of all the politically correct laws and rules the military has, a male soldier would never dare complain about a female soldier. This actually increases the men’s load quite a bit. And in times of danger, the men’s natural protective instincts toward women take over, and rather than being able to focus fully on the war, they are keeping their eyes out for those females around them.

Also, do you know WHY the percentage of pregnancies was so high in the last Gulf War? It wasn’t necessarily the temptations of being so close to the other sex all the time (when we would go on 30-day field exercises, I often was the only female in a tent of 20 males, living all together), but even as rough as these military females appear on the outside, they are still female on the inside. God gave men a natural desire for war, but women a natural desire for peace, in general. Females are often very afraid of war and will do almost anything to get out of it, including getting pregnant on purpose, while not even caring who the father might be. I would witness this happening even to get out of 30-day exercises. I knew one girl who would get pregnant so she wouldn’t have to go, then get an abortion while we were gone, only to do it all over again the next exercise. I also knew homosexual women who would get pregnant for the same purposes. God Bless You, J.E. (Veteran of Operation Desert Storm)
