Listen to the video above and you will hear Fox News commentator Liz Trotta say that women in the military are complaining that they have been “raped too much.”
How much is too much? I would say once is too much.
Trotta’s remarks arose during her Feb. 12 commentary on the Pentagon’s plan to allow women to serve closer to the the front lines. Women in the military have campaigned for this change. Because of the nature of war now, women essentially are serving in combat roles without combat training and yet they are denied career advancement and better pay because they technically are not allowed to serve in combat.The Pentagon’s new rules mostly catch up to the realities of the battlefield while keeping the ban on women serving in combat in place. Advocates for women in the military had hoped for more.
