DigenesLamp,
Completely agree. But until the military takes it serious that opening up the entire combat field to women that will compete with the men and expect them to succeed, and that hasn’t happened yet, then the possibility for women to succeed isn’t possible. Combat requirements are very stringent and require body capacities women haven’t developed yet, i.e., sustained upper body high strength requirements that their female body doesn’t have due to historical DNA and hormonal development. So, at the moment, there are two ways this political gaff by Obama can be accomplished, 1. most women put in the field will not be able to handle it physically. Or 2. They will have to lower the standards so women would be competitive thus lowering the capacity of the force with less capable people. And that was my point. Obama’s opening up the combat areas for woment makes himn look good in the news for his party getting votes. But not maintaining the force needs for the mission. He’s an idiot.
