    Many reporters get details screwed up-since 1973 disbanding of the Womens Army Corps, women have received Basic combat Training. Only men go on to Advance Combat Training. This is not the first time in history that the Military used and forgotten of it Females. www.pgev.org Remember other governments have Women in their combat forces.

    I doubt is true that Specialist Morgan "lacked even basic combat training". I find that very difficult to believe after spending 20 years in the Army. Basic combat training is required for every soldier in the US Army, active duty, reservist, or national guardsman, so they can survive on the battlefield no matter what their job..

    I am not sure you can fairly say of any Specialist in the US Army "she lacked even basic combat training".
    Basic training has always been required for all soldiers no matter their job. The army prepares all soldier to fight and win American's wars. Part of the issue above is that the unit did not fight as it was trained.
