  • Will US soldiers shoot Iraqi women?

    The Iraqi gov't will no doubt be arming their women... so what will happen when American soldiers are confronted with Burkha-wearing women pulling AK's out?

    Official policy is that coalition forces will not fire unless fired upon. Realistically, I think it's safe to say that anyone with a weapon who appears threatening in the least will probably be shot, women and children included.

      Standing orders for any military member is that they must be fired on first.
      Coalition troops will return fire on whomever fires first.


      I have not problem with that, other than it would be just one more piece of evidence on what a sick bastard Hussein is.

        If you're carrying a weapon, you're a combatant.

              And that's exactly how it should be.

              If you go around shooting at soldiers you should expect them to shoot back.

              I doubt any coalition soldiers would feel happy about killing women or children, but if its a case of "Either him/her or me" then it's a no-brainer.

              If children in particular, and to a lesser extent women, are forced to fight and are killed during combat it will either be their own fault or the fault of the Iraqi regime - nobody else can be expected to carry the responsibility for it.

                Yeah but they are volunteers.

                ACK!

                  As a matter of fact, one of the P.O.W.'s is a woman.
                  A cook.

                      The Black Texas woman that was with the Maintenance Squadron.
                      Only woman P.O.W. I'm aware of, but at the moment her name eludes me.

                        I believe it's something along the lines of 'Shonnan' or 'Shonna'.
