“I’m a lot more flexible than the average man. I have great fine motor control. My disease resistance is a bit higher, and some of my senses (particularly smell) are better, because I am female.”
Good. It’s your turn to carry the mortar baseplate. The objective is 15 miles that-a-way. Try to keep up. /s
The real objective of women-in-combat is to make the US Military combat ineffective. To so decrease the chance that we would not lose a war against a determined enemy that we would not risk fighting it.
I suspect the main driver of this push is simply more women in the government workforce (”workfare”); everything else just ripples through. That people are even suggesting this with a straight face after our two recent losses (Iraq, Afghanistan) indicates they never seriously expect women to see combat.
I see you didn’t read my post, or you would realize I already made the argument you made, in the very next paragraph, in fact. Should I add ‘reading comprehension’ to the things I’m better at? ;)
