PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY IS MAKING A MOTHER’S DAY ASSAULT on women in combat. But this makes no sense:

She contended that the women caught in the ambush of the 507th Maintenance Company in Iraq — Jessica Lynch, who was rescued by commandos, and single mothers Lori Piestewa, who was killed, and Shoshana Johnson, who was wounded — did not volunteer for the Army with the ambition of serving in combat.

A soldier is a soldier. You don’t join the Army and then decide not to fight. Doesn’t Schlafly know that? She also says: ” there is no evidence in history for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to advance women’s rights, promote national security, improve combat readiness, or win wars.”

No evidence? Not even the stunning and swift victory we just won?
