Women in combat is not the ideal solution to the need for soldiers. My Daddy was a WWII combat veteran, and he was not in favor of either women or gays in combat. (In fact, he once stated that the few flaming homosexuals who started out in basic training did not generally make it through. War is hard to say the least and is not a social game. One commanding officer in more recent times said that when his group was ordered to “bug out” that the women were not able to do the heavy lifting of materials and machinery necessary to load up - so his outfit just didn’t “bug out” as ordered because they couldn’t. These parents who tell their daughters that they can do ANYTHING they want to do; well, yep, provided it’s affirmative action. Feminism has ruined this country, as has radical affirmative action.

Women have a vulnerability that men to not. Actually, several vulnerabilities. They do not belong on the battlefield, IMO.

I agree. Of COURSE we cannot pull our own weight, move artillery, etc. What are they DOING there? It is all so very stupid.

I have never been in a mixed unit but I have witnessed stuff like that in other units with females, it is bizarre the Orwellian culture that we now live in.
