If the female soldier is up to the task, so be it.

"Band them all together into Affirmative Action Brigades and send them to the front as a unit so they don’t get the real soldiers killed."Better yet, reinstitute human wave tactics.

Infantry isn’t the beginning and the end of the story, they can’t even lift a heavy cooking pot, change a truck tire, climb into a five ton, I watched some MI females try to set up their big canvas tent one time, it was a fiasco, the males of their unit had to go over and do it for them.
The military life, especially outdoors is largely moving heavy stuff, lifting, digging, handling things that need a man’s grip, every time we physically weaken ourselves we take a step back.
A 20 year Sergeant used to moving and utilizing 20 GIs to get maximum results, will have to adapt his expectations down if he gets 20 females instead.

Cute.
If they were then we wouldn’t be having the discussion, but they aren’t.

Yup, but you can’t stop the tides. Especially with this new CSMA. I just hope they hold it off long enough until I’m out. Don't worry they're ruining the Marine Corps too. I know so many SNCOs with 10+ yrs in, in critical MOS' (that are SHORT and NOT effected by the cuts) that are leaving in droves.........most of the people I know worth a damn are counting down the days [or already gone].
Elections have consequences.

Nope, the US won’t reconsider. Just like the Romans, they’ll keep partying the night away until the Vandals sack them.

It’s just not a good idea. The country is on a path towards destruction, this is another confirmation of it.
