   I just read an article released today by Women's eNews correspondent Gretchen Cook, and amazed at the not only sexist but impractical remarks by Christopher Check of the Rockford Institute:
   ...
   "It's an abomination," says Marine Corps veteran Christopher Check.
   ...
   Check does not go on to demonstrate what is contrary in one's nature to care so deeply about one's country that one volunteers for service that could send one home in a body bag.
   
   Does Mr. Check perhaps mean to imply women aren't patriotic?Or, perhaps unable -- with their higher-efficiency lungs, greater capacity to withstand pain and temperature extremes, to bear the day to day slog of combat or imprisonment?
   
   When male POWs get raped, no one wants to talk about it.When female POWs get raped, it's the end of the world?
   
   Speaking of "the girl lieutenant who burst into tears when she failed to qualify with the 9mm Berretta, and her Staff Platoon Commander (a girl captain) who consoled the distraught young officer by giving her a hug right there at the pistol range.", Check seems almost repulsed by ... the fact that women show emotion.
