Just riding over bumps in a humvee all day is a hell of a strain on the body out when you have 60 pounds of armor, camelbak, and vest yanking your spine with every jolt. Fit, 180 pound men are coming home with back injuries. A woman with half the body strength facing that kind of strain isn’t going to come out of that with a sore back, she’s going to come out of it unable to stand up.

It ain’t sitting in air conditioned cruisers in short sleeves.

So your saying females should not serve in the military, or should only be given cushy jobs?

So it's your position that females are not even capable of riding around in a humvees all day?

. OK...

But what about a female law enforcement officer, wearing body armor, that pulls over 4 two-time loser paroles, that just committed two brutal murders in a armed robbery attempt? There is no back up due to 6 other crimes have just gone down. Should she confront them? Hide? Should she quit and apply for another job?

Since she is not even capable of riding in a military vehicle all day, should she even be in this position?
