I wouldn’t want my husband fighting Bad Guys with his back covered by some 17 year old GIRL. What about the whining? What about tears? PMS? Spiders?
I think it’s the old-biddie lesbo-feminists who wanted this, but they are happy to have OTHERS ‘do’ it. They just got to talk theory.
Disgusting.
Beyond whining and tears, there is rape, menstruation, possible pregnancy, and documented physical weakness. Nothing we can do about them. Maybe chemically interfere with some of it, but that brings its own problems.
Your husband hypothetically being protected by a teenage girl is especially weak, if he is any kind of man (which I assume he is!) he not only can’t count on her for protection but will end up having to protect or rescue her.
Add to this the sexual politics introduced by female soldiers, not necessarily deliberately, and we have been seriously weakened as a force.
Finally, I hate what this does to women. It attacks the true strengths that women to have.
Oh yeah, and the kids they leave behind.
