I referenced the negative aspects of "logistics" in one of my previous posts, and I think this is an example of just that:

"...Create a simple kit that allows women to self-test for urinary or vaginal infections without having to approach a company medic, often a man, about symptoms..."

Are these "simple kits" going to take the place of battle dressings or ammo on a critical resupply? And is there going to have to be a female medic in every unit that has a female in it?

These are "the turd in the punch bowl" questions that Phyllis Schlafly would ask, but they probably aren't looking for her input.

And again, these types of questions, though small, aren't going to sway a decision in any way. It is going to happen come hell or high water.

I hope men don't mind visiting a f medic in combat should they need their private parts examined.

You would think there is some professionalism at the Ranger level, but maybe not.
