I have no problem with women flying fighter jets or any MOS that does not require great strength and in particular upper body strength. I sure as hell do not want her beside me on the battlefield. She would not be able to drag my wounded bleeding ass off the battlefield if I were shot.

My son was a combat medic, two tours of Iraq. He is also a weight lifter. His unit took good care of him on patrol. They did not want him hurt. They knew he could pick them up and run and also patch them up if shot.

” She would not be able to drag my wounded bleeding ass off the battlefield if I were shot.”

The same thing applies to firefighters today who know that their politically correct firefighter next to them would be unable to even attempt to drag them to safety in a critical situation.
