We have a volunteer army.

Yeah. An Army that should be men.
We are a nation ruled by pussies.

Do you really believe there are no men in the Army?

Again, if you want to argue that women should be banned from volunteering for military service or that men should be conscripted for military service, go ahead.

We are a nation ruled by pussies.

I see you've moved from melodramatic comments to stupid ones.

Please tell us about your own military service.

Absolutley, but there was a story in Army Times the other day where the Army's head of diversity (or some such-a bird colonel) called for allowing more women in the combat arms so that more minorities would be promoted to higher officer rank.

Frankly, females will find themselves assigned to combat units a lor more often thanks to the "plug and play" concept of transformation. Many maneuver units are losing combat support elements-like the support and maintenance platoons. Those needs will be filled by randomly assigning support and maintenance units that are not "organic" to the combat units. Since those units can have females assigned, more females will end up in combat units.
