Women are as unfit for being infantrymen as they as for being NFL D-linemen. We don’t need “studies” to know these things.

Women do not have the strength that men do. That is obvious.

This is reminding me of that scene from Forrest Gump where he is carrying his injured buddy (Bubba?) out of a Vietnam jungle. There is no way a woman could do that.

During my initial training to be a combat engineer (not the building kind but the kind Princess Diana didn't like) for the National Guard, we ran 50-meter relays carrying our buddies with a fireman's carry (one arm and one leg of one soldier over the back of another). I had torn a meniscus and ligaments in a knee earlier in training and was trying to graduate from the 13 weeks of training without surgery. We ran fast--all of us. I graduated without surgery. To be honest and frank for the purpose of this message, we were trained killers. That was our specialty and purpose.
