Women are good in surveillance and intelligence roles. They make good analysts. There were some naval warfare ratings that women did just fine with and were at no greater risk than the men. Problem is the lack of common sense about it these days and pretending there are no differences between the sexes. Does it make sense to put women on submarines? I don’t think so. Battlefield roles when the shells and the sh— flies? No.
No, while the author himself does not argue against women being in the military at all, yet exclusion goes beyond combat, as it extends to leadership as well as standards for physical fitness.
God intended for men to protect their women. Not the other way around.
Reading the post is an acquired taste.
That post just doesn’t read well, it is one thing to use some cut and paste that boosts a personal view but just posting a big sloppy article with a bunch of links to more, isn’t very enticing.
Revised and extends his remarks:
Never mind!

That’s ok. I’ve read that passage many times, but I had to do a double take myself, for a moment.
Christ of the Father, Son of Man, there’s a reason we use the word mystery.
Your opinion only.
Of course it is, but you should consider it.
If the U.S. Army had adopted gender integrated units by 1864, maybe that battle would have turned out differently.
Yeah, so long as they are far from combat — never can tell when you can be overrun.
As to biblical instructions — bugger that. So long as they can do the job let them.
Meaning gender integrated combat units. And resulted in a nation progressing into weakness.
Your original essay excerpt I mistook to imply that combat was the only consideration as to whether females should serve in the military at all, and I took exception to that mistaken assumption.
However, your full essay essentially mirrors my own views and states them much more eloquently than I expressed them.
I am still of the firm belief that women should still have to register for the draft when they turn 18. I am not sure that an actual draft of women would occur in times of emergency, but just the fact that they have to register may alter their views of what it truly means to have equality with men in all things.
Thank you.
Of course not, even the military needs cooks.
No, I merely stated we are asking the wrong question.
