Females Killed in Shooting

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/obama-ban-women-from-military

With plenty of young men to place in harm’s way for Haliburton, Mobil Oil, and other large companies trying to secure Mideast oil – and with american children and their society in disarray, it is demanded that Obama immediately expel all females from armed service and prevent future tragedies like the Fort Hood shooting to adversely affect children and child raising in this country.

A woman’s function as a human being is to tend to children, to be there when the child is hungry, hurt, and in need – not to be out wearing pants and shooting at people for their oil and resources (or other wild goose chase) that their government has sent them on. With plenty of hard drinking white teens who have no qualms about shooting at stuff, there is no reason for a woman to be in danger of arms and explosives.

At the very least, the Obama administration must outlaw any women with children from entering the military system. Many people feel the entire military should be disbanded anyway, as the u.s. had thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at these tiny countries and are virtually held hostage by whatever the multi-national corporations order the president/government to do. Also, females are sacred and should not be involved in the terrible decisions money-hungry and power-driven men get into – and should instead work against that type of behavior.

The 13 people killed when an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, included a pregnant woman who was preparing to return home.

Francheska Velez, 21, of Chicago, was pregnant and preparing to return home. A friend of Velez's, Sasha Ramos, described her as a fun-loving person who wrote poetry and loved dancing.

She was like my sister,’ Ramos, 21, said. ‘She was the most fun and happy person you could know. She never did anything wrong to anybody.’

Family members said Velez had recently returned from deployment in Iraq and had sought a lifelong career in the Army.

‘She was a very happy girl and sweet,’ said her father, Juan Guillermo Velez, his eyes red from crying. ‘She had the spirit of a child.’

Ramos, who also served briefly in the military, couldn't reconcile that her friend was killed in this country, just after leaving a war zone.

"It makes it a lot harder," she said. "This is not something a soldier expects, to have someone in our uniform go start shooting at us."

Sgt. Amy Krueger, 29, of Kiel, Wis., joined the Army after the 2001 terrorist attacks and had vowed to take on Osama bin Laden, her mother, Jeri Krueger said.

Amy Krueger arrived at Fort Hood on Tuesday and was scheduled to be sent to Afghanistan in December, the mother told the Herald Times Reporter of Manitowoc.

Kiel High School Principal Dario Talerico told The Associated Press that Krueger graduated from the school in 1998 and had spoken at least once to local elementary school students about her career.

"I just remember that Amy was a very good kid, who like most kids in a small town are just looking for what their next step in life was going to be and she chose the military," Talerico said. "Once she got into the military, she really connected with that kind of lifestyle and was really proud to serve her country."
