Not to take anything away from u but you served on a ship during a conflict on land.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say here, but the ship HR served on was a home and service area to many NAVY pilots.
Also, the USS Westchester County (LST-1167), while serving in a ‘conflict on land’ is also a ship and lost quite a few hands.
Then again, in the ‘conflict on land’ a joint Navy/Army Riverine Force lost quite a few people so don’t imply that ALL Naval duty is easy.
Also don’t forget, when you see all that water that the ships rest upon (and under) that you are just viewing the top.

I’m not implying that the navy doesn’t do its part hell u don’t know the times it saved my ass with support packages I know what goes on in and under it I’m telling you the women on land in combat situations are highly capable of handling not all but most physical aspects and can handle mental stress better then some of the men serving under me so I say that the presence of women in the battle field 1) is there choice and they know the risks like u did when u boarded that ship and like I did when my boots hit the ground and 2) in battle I’m not going to get self-conscious and hesitate when I see a woman in the field.
