It raises an interesting aspect to the "clash of cultures" debate. Third world (male) soldiers squaring off against first world women warriors. A bullet makes no distinction. But what happens when a women soldier is captured, intact or wounded? What would follow such a headline event? Would the special attention require a special response? Would the American response require a unique action? Such a prisoner would have extra 'hostage value' and would become the center of world wide attention. And, what would happen if that women was Jewish, now in militant Muslim hands?
While a bullet makes no distinction, our pride would.

I fear what might follow such an event.
