I don't have a problem with women in the military as long as they can meet the physical and mental requirements (which are not reduced to give them an advantage).

If a woman can outperform a male Navy SEAL or a Marine, give them a slot.

Otherwise, give them a REMF slot.

It doesn’t bother me to have women in the military. My MOM was one of the first to enlist in the ARMY during WORLD WAR II.

This paragraph was the “red flag” for me...

“Awareness is the first step. Today, on International Day of the Girl, the Nike Foundation is delivering a groundbreaking declaration to the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon. Created in partnership with 25 organizations and signed by leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Queen Rania of Jordan and Care CEO Helen Gayle, the declaration demands that girls’ education be at the heart of the new millennium development goals. Room to Read, A New Day Cambodia, Camfed and many other organizations continue to work in some of the most challenging regions to promote and protect gender equity. Released earlier this year, Girl Rising spotlights the stories and strength of nine girls who are fighting for an education. The powerful film has evolved into a full-blown global campaign that galvanizes people to take action in support of girls’ education.’
