Though I'm Army from the late '60's,
"Twenty officers have been relieved of command by the Navy this year.
Crimes, of a sexual nature or otherwise, are vigorously investigated and adjudicated as appropriate by the Navy, said Murray.
"We hold our people accountable and we expect commanding officers to uphold the highest personal and professional standards," said Murray."
It seems more than obvious that women are a negative influence in a testosterone world.
The military of any branch is all about war ... preparing for it and being trained for it.
I don't think it is misogynist to hold to the opinion that women have a place in the military but they interfere with the thought processes of a young man learning to break things.
The article says that officers have been been relieved of command ... what might the EM stats be?
Our Creator made man and woman with distinct but very different mental & physical traits both of which are for our survival. I've seen very few women who could throw a 200 pound man across their shoulders and carry him from danger much less three-five decks straight up a ladder.
The training and duty of the military is too defend and if needed too kill too defend self and nation or offend an enemy in war.
If having too kill an enemy woman in combat tears at the mind of many men who have had to do just that how much mental issues to immediately deal with would a woman's death inflicted by the enemy of someone you fight beside cause? A friend of mine doing ops in Central America had to take out a woman fighter. It took him years to deal with it but it saved his unit he had no choise.
Better still more too the point having watched the Forestall training film a half dozen times it was a horror to watch men dieing. It was the real thing actual flight deck footage. The U.S. Navy has been lucky. The next such fire may be with women on deck. Will the Navy use that as a training film as well? We usually put the heavier guys on hose teams for a good reason.
