we were in the Arctic and it was when they were thinking of letting women on the front lines.

Now the weather there was minus 70 with wind chill and we slept in snow holes

what a disaster having her with us.
She went on her period, she held up our patrols, we had to wait for her to move out from the snow holes, we had to carry her much of her weight she was supposed to carry, then we had guys who were on her like crap on a shovel.

After our deployment we were all asked how it went and we all said terrible and did the top brass listen to us.

hell no

Do not get me wrong but women do and should have a place in the military but not on the front lines or even in a marine /infantry patrol/deployment etc

Flying planes etc I agree with

having homosexuals brings all other problems into the military now, what’s next homo pride parades on base, homo parties etc.
there’s just too many problems

You know I could be wrong. This guy makes some good points:

I’ve been in the field in Germany with female personel. I always wondered, if the Russians cross line and this is for real will we shoot them or just give them some K-rations and bid them adeiu, advising them to be nice to the Russians when they come. They certainly did not add to the fighting potential of the unit, rather they detracted.

Yep, and this decision to let them serve openly will make my choice to leave after 35+ years much easier.
