Then you believe women should have no say in that? Their desire to be combat pilots or what-have-you has no weight?

If they pass the EXACT SAME standards as men then yes. But to do not have to so that point is null and void.

Absolutely correct. NO WEIGHT whatsoever. It is only the feminist/careerist types who want the combat roles because they perceive that they cannot advance the same as male combat vets into certain command billets. That they should not HAVE such billets is beside the point to them. And the enlisted women, for the most part, are not thrilled with the idea that THEY get to pay the price for the ambitions of a few officers.

None of which excuses rape, by any stretch of anyone's imagination, needless to say... my point was your post.
