Women joining the Iraqi police force – I think this is incredible and courageous. It would be so interesting to interview these women pictured below – to find out how it came to be that they made this decision. We can’t walk out on these people... we just can’t.
An Iraqi woman takes the entrance exam to become an Iraqi police woman. The exam tests reading and writing skills and is the first step in the screening process to select women into the Iraqi Police Forces and provide the unique services needed for crimes against women and children. The police screening was held at the Iraqi Army compound in Iskandariyah, Iraq, with assistance from female U.S. Army personnel attached to the 155th Brigade Combat Team, July 12, 2005. U.S. military personnel are stationed at Forward Operating Base, Iskandariyah, Iraq, supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer Edward G. Martens)

What courage these ladies are displaying. To stand up and volunteer to Police a group that oppresses them at every turn.
You are right, even more than when we abandoned the Vietnamese, we can't abandon people such as this. We must see this through to the end and victory.
