I don't know why you think I want women to have their cake and eat it too. I said I don't like women in combat type roles, but I respect those who are in the military. Just because I have misgivings about the role of women in the military doesn't mean I cannot appreciate their service, since after all they're fighting for me (and you).
So, go argue with someone else.

I don't think you can have it both ways and be moral. Appreciating a thing you have misgivings about is a criminal response. Means you know something is wrong and you do it, or support it being done, anyway.

Not a good position to live in, in my opinion.

Sorry if I upset you Susie. I really wasn't arguing with you but rather I was using your posts as a straw man (woman).

You're conflicted and so is society. On this issue, I'm not. Either integrate women in every facet of the military (including draft registration) or get them the hell out of the military. I'll accept it either way, but where we are now is only hurting our capability to defeat our enemies.
