I don't think women should be in combat, or exposed to it. Not because SOME are not capable, but because of the disruption to the effective functioning of the military.

I risk my life having children, and my sanity bringing them up. Men risk their lives to keep me safe while I'm doing it. (Thanks, guys!) I think it's fair.

I like your thinking - there are some very capable women out there - if they choose to serve OK! But not in combat. WACS, WAVES, WRENS - did I leave some out and am open from a hit by the PC police? Have been around and functioned just fine in support roles.

Women on ships is stupid. Women MPs I can go for. Where is the pic of that tough BABE MP who took the Iraqui down and boxes with her counterparts - posted a few weeks ago?

That makes too much sense.  Of course, there are men who risk their sanity in bringing up children, too.  But I can't disagree with you.

I find men rolling grenades into the officers' tent to be more disruptive to the effective functioning of the military.
