Read downthread, wackjob.

I’m sure the women in your life are just wonderful. Which would explain your bitterness.

Not every woman is a raving feminazi. I’m sorry all the women in your life seem to have been XY and not XX.

Perhaps the problem is you.

‘Not every woman is a raving feminazi.’

This is indeed so. However, many, possibly most ‘educated’ women have been ingrained with the ‘it's not equal’ mantra about manning women from combat arms. The response is almost always ‘I have no interest in doing this but it is unfair and a violation of equal rights to ban women from doing (fill in the block).
Trying to explain ‘unit cohesion’ as absolutely vital at the squad and platoon level for successful execution of any mission just produces glazed eyes. The US is relentlessly sticking its nose into the business of nations all over the planet that have no possible vital national interest component while making the military smaller and smaller. People in CONUS such as the women I describe have no clue as to what mil ops are about and what the constant mission stretch is doing to the combat arms. Most i suspect don't care either as protracted high intensity ground combat is something that they have absolutely no suspicion of it happening again. Then, they don't have to worry about either the draft or cross leveling so why should something like the consequences of damaging unit coherence in the combat arms interest them in the slightest.
