Loading 5 inch ammo on a WWII era destroyer took all day with a chain of guys handing 50+ pound projectiles to each other. All day long.

Yep. We need women doing these things. How about carrying a 60mm mortar round in addition to the basic ammo load? Yep, a task just made for women.

Heck. How about simply charging a 50 cal machine gun?

Insanity. But the proponents know this.

I remember my son’s friend who decided on a firefighting career. In training now, the fireman’s carry is now obsolete, because women don’t have the strength to do it. He was taught to drag the person out of a burning building.
