I think it's wrong to say that "women" couldn't be combat soldiers any more than you could say that all men could make good combat soldiers. I served with women who could whip the average man on the street.

I'm sure the women are out there.  They just haven't shown up yet.

You guys and those mysterious super women that the rest of us have never seen, yet you guys always know them and work with them and bring them up in every discussion.

Why would the military that doesn’t have time for nonsense, be looking for a freak anyway?

A female that on her best day barely qualifies for a slot that many men could fill better, and endure at for many more years, and who didn’t also need an entire new support system for them, new supplies, new clothing and tailoring and equipment to fit the strange body, new doctors, new psychological forces and stresses within the unit.

Why search so hard, and sacrifice so much, and spend so much money, and throw such a giant monkey wrench into the works, to find something that doesn’t help you in anyway?

Does someone think that the exclusion of females from Special Ops is artificial, and that some day the Rangers and SEALs will just be 50/50 female and male, so all that is involved is breaking down artificial cultural barriers?

If not, then what is the purpose of expending all this effort and money and time and wasting of resources?

I have no doubts about that. But it tales a lot more work to meet specops / combat standards for women. And when you have to train a population, its better to use less effort resources and time efficiently to get the force needed.

Thats all I am saying. As to women who could kick men’s asses? I learned that lesson very early on from my Mom.
