countless stories in history how women survived horrible conditions and men did not... they have less muscle mass, and and bone mass, and can survive hunger and thirst for longer than men...
okay, so we're against women in combat...lets stop making ridiculous arguements.....
why not just make the main arguement...its men's job to be in combat and to fight and protect their country and women and children....
Like these two:
As far as I know there has never been a military objective met by having a baby. So the fact that women can and men can't is irrelevant. If men could have an 8# baby, I'm sure it would suck as much as a woman doing it, but it would come out anyway.

No one is talking about spending their four year enlistment avoiding the chow hall. The fact that they can skip food is admirable, but nobody has won wars by not eating the available food. There is usually an abundance of crappy food and water (for drinking)in the US armed forces so this is a non-starter. Having less muscle mass doesn't help when an enemy needs killing by hand. While I don't disagree with your main argument, the fact is that women are not and will never be the equal of men in the requirements of war. Thank God it is so.
Except carrying a baby and having adaptable pelvic bones is not at all comparable to experiencing combat.
Below is a link to an enlightening article by a female Marine captain; she details the weakness of her body compared to that of the men she served with, and how it started to break down.
From the article: "It was evident that stress and muscular deterioration was affecting everyone regardless of gender; however, the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines and further compounded by gender-specific medical conditions.
I understand that everyone is affected differently; however, I am confident that should the Marine Corps attempt to fully integrate women into the infantry, we as an institution are going to experience a colossal increase in crippling and career-ending medical conditions for females."

when men start having bloating and then bleed every month, or carry a 8# pound baby inside for several months, and then have to push that baby out, with pelvic bones actually thinning out to be able to do this, please get back to me about how much women can put up with....
