Question for Joe Scarborough: If one day you were wounded on the mean streets of Nantucket, who would you want carrying your 6’4” frame to safety? A burly man, or a weaker, slower woman?

Women simply do not belong in combat. Never have, never will.
Pete’s merely stating the truth.
1. The presence of women is divisive: young men and young women are going to bond - and these bonds cause the couple to look out for each other, not the team. Those member without a partner will resent those lucky one who do - and everybody is armed.
2. Besides the differences in strength, endurance, and agility - women are more emotional and killing and seeing your fellow combatants killed and mutilated will have a disproportional effect on them.
3. Men will be even more strongly affected by female casualties than even the casualties among their fellow men.
4. No successful fighting force exists that has ever used women as infantry combatants. The Israelis are often cited as an example but they have not used women as direct combatants for a long while.
The use of women will reduce combat effectiveness, unit cohesion, and will certainly reduce US capabilities. Equality is not the same as equivalence.
Question to Joe Scarborough: How many Bronze Stars and Combat Infantry Badges do you have? Can you tell us about your military experience? Probably not, since the only combat he’s seen is his two ex-wives throwing his a$$ out the door.
