[frog in a pot]

It appears "the real you" with all of your uncertainty (or agenda) has emerged!

Your opening position in #10:
At the end of the day the Marines, like all services, need to find ways to bring women into combat...

But a few minutes later when you test that proposition to persuade the public in this post, you change the terms!

I'll play:
1. Yes, women should be in combat and we need to find ways to do so respectfully in ways that do not endanger them (emphasis added), their colleagues, the mission, the service, or the country.

To reach the answer you desire, you set up an impossibility. Is it possible you sincerely do not realize there is no such thing as "combat" that does not endanger anyone in its vicinity, or to or from the area?

Most people quit digging when they find themselves in a hole. When they don’t it is either because they don’t understand their position or they simply won’t give up. One of these possibilities you may face with pity the other with some measure of respect for tenacity.

I shall refrain from ad hominem attacks henceforth. I do wonder though what motive a person has to take such a position as this one has.
