While Capt Petronio freely admits ...... there's no mention if any of these problems had a negative effect on mission success or led to another Marine getting killed.
Women do NOT belong in combat. Period.

Although I must say Rush Limbaugh might have been onto something:

Let certain women into the military and have the certain kinds of women be housed at the same place, the same time over a period of time and therefore we would have a combat-ready group of women on PMS whenever we needed ‘em, because of the miraculousness of the synchronized menstrual cycle. Now, the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion consisted of feminazis, banshees, Amazons who wanted to go into war and so forth — and we theorized, “If you want to get Noriega out of there,” ‘cause did the rock music work or was it just an irritant? I forget which. It might have worked.

But we speculated here, we theorized that Noriega sitting inside the Papal Nuncio and hearing Molly Yard shout, “This is an outrage!” and looking out the window and seeing the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion headed your way, you might give up and immediately surrender.

For females, crawling on your back, under barbed-wire, can be extremely problematic.

Not in combat, period. I agree.

And to be fair I am a guy who always says “Never underestimate a woman as a threat.” Also the “not in combat” comment does not mean I don’t think they can’t deend themselves from criminals, or bad boyfriends, or whatever. Many are capable of learning to shoot well enough for defense, some very well, but military combat is not the same as civilian self-defense of self, or family.

It’s also fair to point out many men are not up to the standards necessary to do all that is needed to do in combat situations. But we’ve not watered down the standards of what’s been required because a certain percentage of guys can’t qualify. They only start bitching and moaning when people OTHER than guys, usually white guys, have large percentages of whatever their pet group is, who can’t pass the qualifications that exist based on what’s needed to get the jobs done.
