Unless and until a female in full battle rattle is also able to carry a 200 pound Marine ALSO in full battle rattle OUT of harms way, if injured....said female has no business in a Marine combat unit! (This includes butch dykes serving as part of the DADT social experiment! (SPIT!!
And I hasten to add, I say that as a WOMAN that retired after 30 years in the military.
When I was in the USAF there was a limit of 40lbs for women
When the great experiment on the airfield started and women were now mechanics for the planes the guys wouldnt carry their 100lb tool chests for them
The girls complained...
Oh my...
the problem was blamed on the bad male chalvanisic guys
Butch dykes generally do not like men very much. I would not want them watching my back, frankly. Don’t think they’d do all they could do to cover my ass.
and if you had been sent to SWA to drive a truck or track supplies and instead ended up detailed to a FET or Operation Lioness to accompany combat patrols into the villages and engage and search the women, what would you have called it, if not “combat”?
Well said!
And thank you for your service
