Women have no business in combat arms. Anyone who has read much military history knows this. If you ever run across someone who disagrees and will discuss this rationally, just challenge them to read some of the Marines’ histories of the Pacific War island battles, as well as learn the basics of sexual strength differences, and rejoin the discussion at a later date.

Funny you should point that out.   I have been all for women being in service, partly with the idea of put up or shut up.

But a few days ago I ran across an audio archive on Youtube of individual German soldiers defending the four beaches on D-day.   Just as you mentioned regarding the Pacific War island battles, their horror and fear was far beyond imagination.   Phosphorus grenades or shells in pillboxes.   Sherman 75mm main gun taking out a German 88mm anti-tank artillery gun after his lead tanks had been destroyed and crew members machine gunned while attempting to escape.   Flamethrowers torching Wehrmacht soldiers and then getting blown up moments later.   The accounts were read in English from the transcripts.

You make a plausible point.
