Why does the Right hate the troops?

First it was "America's Mayor"™ blaming the soldiers for not finding Saddam's weapons depots. Now, disregarding the fact that it was Rumsfeld's and Frank's plan to outsource the battle in Tora Bora that allowed bin Laden to escape to Pakistan, those brilliant strategists at NewsMax claim that he escaped because of the Army's use of...female soldiers.

For those on Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and at the White House who think that women in land combat is a ho-hum non-issue, there is strong evidence the U.S. lost the opportunity to capture or kill Osama bin Laden because of politically correct Pentagon policies to have more female warriors.

The article is pretty much incoherent, so I'm a little unclear as to how the fairer sex tied our troops' virtual hand behind their backs. Perhaps Amanda Marcotte is correct, in thinking they lack that special terrorist radar penile implant. But in any case the NewsMax author's conclusion is clear:

Donnelly concludes that the recent remarks by Army Chief of Staff Peter Shoomaker tacitly endorsing a new breed of women warriors is more than an object for moral reflection on the weaker sex's role in the fighting and dying, but a tactical mistake that can have the highest costs to the nation's security.

Ah, the 101st Fighting Keyboardists. Bravely pointing out the inadequacy of the weaker sex who are, in fact, fighting and dying in Iraq while these chubby punks stroke their Little Generals back home and wonder why they're suffering from repetitive stress syndrome in their right wrist.
