Good God, you have no idea what you are talking about, especially as it pertains to SPC Guay, who I know through my daughter. She can outbench many of the men and does so, and beat the hell out of male troop that said she couldn't. Heart, dedication, courage makes up for some of the genetic disadvantages. If the troops of the 82nd airborne accept and honor her as their combat medic as they patrol the streets of Mosul, who the hell are you to tell them they are wrong? Tell the insurgents doing battle against our troops that it doens't work. History changes, military capabilities change, and the people needed to accomplish the missions change.
You go girl!
Ah, she was a MEDIC. Well, excuse me. I thought she was actually fighting. She was a medic. That makes MUCH more sense. I stand corrected.
Harry S. Truman gave a medal of honor to a medic. The medic was a conscienous objector who would not carry a gun. He was 100% patriotic, wanted to serve in WWII and so became a medic. Truman always considered COs as cowards...but this medic was a genuine hero. What he did was too incredible and brave to be believed. If Hollywood had made a movie of his exploits, NO ONE would have believed it. Meidc. Jenny was a medic. Well, good for her. She is STILL an anomaly...but deserves all the hoopla she gets. I hope all the other heroes get as much as she does....they deserve it too, even if they are only men.
Funny that SHE gets the accolades BECAUSE she is a woman...and so unusual. SHE is hyped BECAUSE of her gender. That proves what a raree show this all is.
History changes; miltary capabilities change; human nature doesn't. This information is purely anecdotal and belies the entire history of the human race. In pure combat, mano a mano women are dead meat. You've seen too much scifi.
Get over it.
