When you see half assed crap written like this ...
WTF are you talking about? Tell us what is it about the article you disagree with?
Personally, I thought the discussion about women not being able to carry the 155mm artillery rounds (95 pounds) was right on.
I was USMC artillery in VN, specifically, on an 8" howitzer. Our rounds weighed 204 pounds and there were many times when we had to lift and carry them alone.
Not one Marine ever failed to meet the challenge - and many times it was with incoming raining down on us.

Did posts 11 and 18 clear it up for you, or do I need to use smaller words?

Basically this piece of crap article insists that it is still okay for women to be i an MOS if part of that MOS never deploys. But that utter bullshit means that there are fewer (sometimes zero) noncombat postings available to give combat troops downtime between tours in the shit.

I am not okay with that. Women don’t need to be in any MOS that deploys ever. It is damaging to the troops who have to pull their weight in wartime whether declared or undeclared.

Is third time the charm? Can you grasp my point now? I oppose this half assed measure which is not enough to fully correct the problem.
