Are they lesbians? At any rate, my guess is this will not go well.
To: QT3.14
I would expect at least 35-40% casualty rates for this force, as a bunch of guys will die trying to save and defend the women.

Any truth to the rumor that Demi Moore will be the new C.O.?

Similarly, there is a huge push to get a woman into the Navy Seals. This stuff is what preoccupies Obama’s military goals.

This is an outrage!

I assume that combat effectiveness might drop for about 3-4 days each month.
To: Secret Agent Man
That movie had some great minor-role military characters.
To: rabidralph
The Sergeant - Apone - was ex-military and the actor grunts actually trained for a week or two as squads just to prepare for the roles. The actor who played Hicks came in late, as he filled in for an actor who got sick and didn’t go through all the other stuff but he fit right in.

Calvary
Cavalry.
You can remember because "calvaria" = a skull, esp. the top, and "cavallus" = horse (in Late Latin).
That said, women have no place in combat units. I'm a huntin' fishin' shootin' kind of gal, and I got a lot of muscular strength from my dad's line so I can generally do a man's work, even pushing 60. But I know I am not and was never suited for that sort of work. Inadequate upper body strength.
