Just ask the National Guards who were kicking down doors in Iraq. Some of those women were first through the door and insisted on it. I guess your proof too is the young female sgt. who took down the shooter. It’s more the person and the training than the color, creed or sex. There’s always going to be more men in these stations as men are simply more hardwired that way. But discounting women is ignorant and may well get your butt kicked one day (by a chick).

“Just ask the National Guards who were kicking down doors in Iraq. Some of those women were first through the door and insisted on it. “

I’m sorry to bust your illusions, but the Department of Defense prohibits women from serving in assignments “whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground.” I seriously doubt that women are kicking down doors in Iraq. Can you provide documentation for this assertion?

It is easier to get men to do ugly and scary things.

There is a subset of women that can do the job but they are generally too smart to do the kinds of things you can get 18 year old men to do.

Just my observations after being there and doing that.

That being said, the woman who put her life on the line and got 4 shots into the terrorist is more than a credit to her gender, she is a credit to the US Army and the US of A. God bless her!
