If allowed to join the military, women should be required to serve in combat.

What combat leader would not want to replace his man warriors with a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version.

He would have to rewrite all the knowledge and experience, of what his troops are capable of and reduce all that accordingly, and simply eliminate some capabilities entirely, but a fair enemy would not seek to capitalize on those advantages of course.

In the meantime, I wonder if Americans have forgotten that if we lose in a major war, we disappear from the future, forever. It seems that many Americans are starting to see war as a sporting event, where you can win or lose, but it doesn't really change anything.

What you need to do is dig back in the more hidden and unimagined recesses in your family genealogy until you get to the White Coats.

They came from France in the world's only army already open to Jews, and they lost.

Nobody took them back home.

Many went South into the Ohio country.

That's what happens when you lost a major war ~

Many Americans are starting to see war as a video game.
