"Aw Jeeze, not this **** again!"

I'm curious. Is this something that you two are in favor of (women in combat) and don't want to see it discussed?

I've been here several years and haven't seen too many threads on it. The first time I discussed it was a week ago on a thread regarding torture of prisoners, and a woman responded to my one anti women in combat post by accusing me of "hijacking" the thread. Being that half the threads on FR had greater divergences somewhere in them from the original topic, her reaction looked out of proportion, indicating a concern that her values might come under attack here.

From my experience, your opposition to this being discussed seems out of proportion as well. Is that the case with you two? Are you very much in favor of women being thoroughly integrated into the services?

I'm sortof on the fence about it. I don't think double standards are fair (women getting into positions meeting easier requirements) but I don't like seeing all the generalizations like "no woman can do blah blah" or "all women are blah blah." The reason the debate has grown old to me is that it usually gets too heated and rational thought flies out the window.
