Making it through any speakable forces school starts off with all of them meeting fitness standards. (Fair or not, most folks cannot meet them.)
The real test is Intelligence, leadership, and mental fitness.
These soldiers and sailors are physically superiorbut their fortitude is what differentiates them from everyone else.
If a woman can do that, good for them. I wouldnt want my daughters to do itbut my kids have female friends that have been pilots and who have served in combat zones. They were part of their teams, just as the men.
Special forces, not speakable....jeez. Sorry about that.
However, even if and though some can operate on that level, is this practice what is right and best for society vs. the Biblical model? Women are forsaking what they are most uniquely designed to excel at, which is being mothers in a marriage.
A neighbor of mine (and owner of two apt. buildings) who is part Chinese and part Costa Rican (with a strong work ethic, legally working for decades and past 65) is the youngest of 18 kids, while his mother was one of 24. In contrast are the "yuppies" with 1.5 kids on average.
