Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

How about “Rosie the Tank gunner”? Or “Rosie the Artilleryperson”? Or “Rosie the CIWS controller”? Or “Rosie the Stinger Missileer”?

AND, you have to remember that ALL members of the Military today are VOLUNTEERS! Anyone who enlists today should KNOW that there is a chance they will be going into combat.

@
Was waiting for this comment, are you really that afraid of women.

Or could any person with military training kick stayathomewhiners butts.

I know some military ladies who’d be happy to raise "rightsright"’s voice a few octaves, speaking of HIS stupid version of “PC”.

As was explained on “The Rachel Maddow” show this change is not because the ladies want to kill someone, it is because the bureaucracy does not accept a combat mission, carried out by a woman, as a combat mission and therefor it does not go towards promotion, medals and so on. So if a female pilot bombs the heck out of some terrorists she does not automatically get the credit, instead it is counted like a training run because “Woman can’t be in combat missions, period!”. But some jobs in the military and national security require a combat ribbon and are therefor not accessible to woman. That is deeply, deeply unfair and I’m happy that Leon Panetta and President Obama had the wisdom and cojones to get it fixed.
