Why? Rick only spoke the truth. Men can’t help having different feelings for women than they do for men. Guys don’t deal well with seeing women killed or maimed, and anyone who says different is a liar or a fool. Bob
Killed/maimed is tough. I’ve found for me that finding out one has been kidnapped is far, FAR worse. Can’t explain it, but there it is.
The Israelis confirmed this experiencein 1948. Females are used in other capacities and in motivating young male recruits..
I thought that was exactly what happened when the IDF tried using women in combat; it was traumatizing for the men to see them wounded/killed.
This is one reason why women and gays shouldn't be in combat.

That’s exactly how I interpreted his statement. A decent man’s instincts are to defer to, and protect, women. If those instincts cause a man in battle to react too slowly to danger, even for a split second, God help him/us. For women to get their little panties in a wad over the statement is another case of political correctness run amok. It’s exactly what blacks do when their fragile little antennae pick up something they can twist to make them victims.
He didn’t say women are weaker or inferior.
Anyhow, having women in more intensive combat situations was a dismal failure in Israel. Maybe we should learn.
