I don't want to come off like a sexist, but I willing to on this topic. Women are not qualified mentally to be in the military. Why do I say this? Because any real man would be thinking a terrorist should be brutally quartered, preferably alive, and then have his remains sent to the four corners of the earth to be eaten by hogs.

you’re not sexist, you’re just plain a$$ stupid.
I’ve got several female friends in the military, and NONE of them would do this, actually from the ones I’ve heard from overseas, they want to contact old Uncles with pig farms for blood and parts. They want the terrorist drawn and quartered. Sound “unsound mentally to serve” to you?
They are better shots, and as far as I know better pilots than you can probably imagine.
Semper Fi to my Sisters in Arms.
Yo... take a deep breath. “Women are not qualified mentally to be in the military” simply because some nutso thinks a terrorist should be buried in Arlington?! That’s... just brilliant. I (yes a lowly woman in your eyes) served 23 years in Navy, had command of a ship in the Gulf, and do not share the thoughts of this AF so-called vet. Most vets, including women, do not. If you’d engage your brain before your mouth you’d realize that no one gets a “reserved spot” in Arlington and there are specific requirements to be buried there... being a terrorist isn’t one of them. Although “spouses” can be. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/FuneralInformation/EstablishServices.aspx
They are not warriors.
While they may carry a weapon and such, they certainly do not have the natural aggression of a warrior.
They can be mean, they can be nasty, but they are not aggressive. Men are warriors, unless they are democrats.
Men with their oft-mocked aggressive chest-thumping behavior are driven to aggression by testosterone and that is what makes men warriors. To deny this is wrong-headed.
War fighting: It is natural for men. It is unnatural for women.
To ignore the role of physiology in war fighting is to ignore basic biological imperatives, embrace liberal lunacy and say, “well, heck, no difference between men and women in any situation, testosterone, estrogen, monthly cycles, whatever, we are all the same. . .aren't we just grand.”
From a career in the USAF, I have seen many women pilots.
The best female pilot I've seen was good. Not excellent. Not superior. Just “good.” In pilot training most all women wash out, and if it looks like none of the women have the right stuff, then the strongest gets a Samsonite handle attached to her back and she is carried through the program.
Why?
When flying fighters a natural aggressiveness is necessary to turn that machine into a weapon of war, and to do that you need to be aggressive, not mean, you need to have a driving innate force within you to fight.
The swagger and bravado of females that fly fighters (not female fighter pilots, as there are none), is forced, is not natural.
I won't even go into the sexual dynamics of a unit when females are introduced, as well as the issues that arise from a societal point of view (and what is says when we send young mothers with small infant children off to fight in wars).
