I have no problem letting women see what it is like to pay the butcher’s bill. ;-)
And I would add that one could easily conclude that women killed in combat are dead at the hand of political correctness.
Political correctness definitely can get you killed.
“The âdraftâ will somehow morph into something not primarily for the conscription of warm bodies to be thrown at the enemy...”
Going to “college” on the taxpayer’s dime will count as “service.” Betcha.
Why would they?
I agree to an extent Sarge...but be careful who u assign to my foxhole...U can make us equal by ability...but you cant fix my attraction to women....God set that rule!!!....I haven’t evolved enough and you cant train me enough.......’nough said!!
I pretty much agree with you .. I too think all female units could be useful for certain missions.
Makes sense to me.
We had women who wanted to be volunteer firefighters back in the '70s when I was a firefighter/EMS. We just put them through the same paces a guy had to go through.
A very few passed. Most did not.
All understood from the start that it wasn't anything but a question of whether or not they would be able to perform the duties of the job.
Gotta give even those who didn't make the grade credit for trying, even if they fell short.
Many of those who could not quite hack hauling hose went on to become EMTs.

Were these the same ones that need help lifting the injured onto the gurney or carrying them up from some ravine, or carrying them down some stairs?
Just saying, back in the dark ages (mid-70’s) I was a police officer in Texas and females EMTs always needed help lifting the bodies/injured.
Everyone pretty much knew where the call was when it went out and the dispatch advised of the nature of the call when alerting the crews, so there was also the ability to be somewhat selective on the type of call you went out on (Volunteer EMS), at least as an individual.
Response times were short in spite of this, because of the high number of personnel who were literally a stones throw away from the station. The 25 mile transport to the nearest ER was more of a factor.
There were few ravines in our first due area, basements were rare, and the trickiest lifts were from a boat deck to the pier at low tide.
