How many times does the experiment have to be repeated, over and over, still coming up with the same result, before the evidence is OVERWHELMING that mixed-gender fighting units are less effective than an all-male assault force?
Not to deride the females who did manage to do well enough on the readiness testing to be included in the mixed-gender teams. They are most excellent warriors, in their own venue.
But clearly, something is amiss when the overall operating efficiency of the team is noticeably impaired, a situation that in most combat missions, spells the difference between success and failure.
Women do have a role in military operations. But not all the operations are out there firing weapons, and when it comes to firing weapons and blowing up the enemy, a female has to have a broader range of personal protection than does the male.
A female pilot in an A-10 Warthog has that necessary circle of protection, and in such a position, is fully the equal of a male counterpart. But on the ground, with a full backpack and body armor, the female is less capable than a male, regardless of levels of training that may be equal for both.
If the military brass has not gone all PC, such a statement would not be challenged.
They will repeat the experiment until they get the conclusion they want.
