I'm not a fan of women serving in forward units, period. How about you?

I'm not a fan of women serving in any unit that has an even remote chance of coming into contact with enemy units. I have no problem with women serving in the military but, when the s**t hits the fan and the bullets start flying I think they are out of their element. Most of them, anyway. There are some that could even hack it as SpecOps types, but they are damn few and far between. When the order comes down to 'fix bayonets' and prepare to repel a charge I don't want some 5'2", 125lb, PC appointee in my foxhole with me. I want the 6'2", 250 lb., bad attitude havin' GED candidate next to me.
