No worries...... we all want the best combat readiness for all our Soldiers. I don’t mind women attending the course so much as I do not want the standards to be lowered for anyone... even those who have failed the course would not want the standards lowered. In the end, combat effectiveness of those units which are on the pointy end of the spear need to have that “brotherhood” which makes effective in their mission to close with and destroy the enemy. Introducing women (or open and active homosexuals) into those units disrupts the brotherhood and makes the units less effective. This is not to detract from those courageous women who have shown bravery under fire and have made great sacrifices. Rather, it is an observation of our American warrior culture and the team building it requires. V/R Bill
