Can some women fight in combat just as well as some men? Yes.

Should women fight in combat and would they perform better than most men? No.

In a country of 300 million people, do we need to have women in combat positions? No.

If the United States was invaded and occupied, would women in combat be more common? Most definitely.

Is that likely to ever occur? No. Well, not real soon anyway.

Women can and do play an important role in the modern armed forces. They should be taught basic infantry skills to protect themselves should the need arise. Should we go out of our way to put women in that position? No.

What kind of men do we have in this country where we are willing to put our daughters in combat when we have more than enough men who could do the job? Pathetic and weak. The decline in this nation is palpable.

This didn't start with the military. The adoption of female cops and firefighters was a earlier experiment.

Did the police and fire department improve with the addition of women? Has the military?
