Women shouldn't be in the army,except as auxiliaries,they shouldn't be cops or fireman either.

You are a dinosaur, ma'am.

After a hard landing of a helicopter, in Honduras (military euphemism for a crash that doesn't end in a fireball), a 5'2" 110lb female flight surgeon carried/dragged me to the rescue helo. I'm 5'9" and at that time was about 200lbs, counting all of the gear I was wearing. She went back with a litter crew to drag out the pilot and co-pilot.

I nominated her for the Air Medal.

Forgive my ignorance,but is a flight surgeon an MD?

Women do belong in the service as doctors,lawyers etc,but not in actual combat roles,working side by side with men,IMHO.

As far as being a dinosaur,maybe I am,but I feel that women's roles were more easily defined years ago,and some jobs are just better for men only.
