Not barred from the military but certain MOS’s in the combat arms should not be open to them...

I couldn't have said it better.

Also, the military is no place for social experimenting!

Barred almost entirely from the military, as it was until 1972 or before.

What combat leader would not want to replace his man warriors with a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version.

He would have to rewrite all the knowledge and experience, of what his troops are capable of and reduce all that accordingly, and simply eliminate some capabilities entirely, but a fair enemy would not seek to capitalize on those advantages of course.

I agree. Whether the screechy leftists want to admit it or not, men and women are different.

I’m proud of my great-aunt who served as an Army nurse in WWII in the European Theater. She was a sweet southern lady who was also strong and not easily rattled. But she’d never have considered going into combat.

I read that many women in the military just happen to get pregnant just before they are to be sent out to sea on subs for 6 months.

I’m thinking the ugly ones should be banned.

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.
