I graduated from the first co-ed ARMY Platoon in 1979.

They said the same sh#t about me and my gals, but I’ll tell ya it was HELL dragging those men along with us each and every day, LOL!

‘Tai’t braggin’ if’n you can DO IT!

They can't do it. I've had the honor of working with Rangers (not in a military capacity), and they were adamant that no female could have legitimately passed.

I think it's already pretty well established that they were given extra help and extra chances.

My son was a combat medic, two tours of Iraq with the 4th ID. He was a weight lifter and could pick up and carry a man in full combat gear. Can you do this?

I have absolutely no problem with a female fighter pilot, it does not take great strength to fly. I have a lot of problems with a female or male that does not have the upper body strength to carry out combat operations on the ground.

ps
When on patrol his unit would protect him and keep him safe. They knew if they were hurt he would be there for them and he was.

Yea right, whatever!
