Mrs Duff, Words cannot express the “Finally someone is on our side” in the media. Please keep fighting for us ( veterans). I also have served (SSGT 10 years) unlike the Democratic individual who hasn’t served (way to shut him down for his nonsense), an was continuing to smile like a smug politician. We (veterans) have always contributed to this nation as you have, an so coming home to this BS is unreal to me. What have we been fighting for overseas I thought it was for freedom and democracy.

Per your appearance on Fox (12/1/2012) regarding women in certain military combat positions, it is very refreshing to hear a female who doesn’t feel threatened by the fact that men and women are not identical. I don’t hear of men feeling inferior because they cannot bear children, so why do some women feel it is a put-down to say they can’t do everything the same as a man!
