The women in Combat Arms debate has been going on for quite some time.
99% of the women refused to comment.
It sucks to be given the opportunity to weigh-in on a decision and not take it and then get caught in the problem.
Live and learn, I guess.
Welcome to the Infantry, ladies!
99% of female soldiers want nothing to do with the demands of close combat, especially when they learn that it involves having to sleep in a rice paddy with nothing but a pile of human excrement to keep you from drowning overnight. They will sign up for having a warm fire going in the cave, a good meal ready to eat, and a little company under the bear skin once the dishes are washed.
Those feminists who have advocated this policy change live inside the beltway and would never volunteer to serve in the military. If they are told to register for the draft, they will be burning bras, marching on the Pentagon, and crying for their mommies.
