I think you’re pretty confused about what this conversation was about in the first place. This post doesn’t have the slightest thing to do with the subject of my comments or with the original poster’s (who you insulted) comments.
Go away.
rhonda_penmark,
I read the original posting for this thread and it was about the Obama administration wanting to celebrate his decision to place women in every combat position. And my post was very explicit in that most women cannot fill all the positions. It is my experience that many men can’t do the job. But the point is that opening up the door for the women to consider trying to fill positions that require a body conditioning that they don’t have, and just because they are women getting them, when the military doesn’t even require or expect them to compete with men physically as their annual testing displays alone, is going to weaken our force capacity. So. I know exactly what the post is saying. Further more, unless you are the original thread poster, which was marked Procon, I didn’t even post to you. I don’t have any idea who you are. And I’m not guessing at what I post. I’m a 31 year combat vet, disabled and retired, with experience in theaters in Asian and the middle east, and have earned the right to comment on the topic from practical experience.
Go away? In an open opinion board scenario that wishes opinions about things I spent my life doing? I have probably just as much a privilege to say something about this as anyone. And a whole lot more experience than most. And if the thread originator was insulted, I apologize. But not because of the content of my post. It was my opinion based upon pure fact.
