Here we go how dare he link women to emotions. /s
Don’t you know women are cold hard killing machines just like any man in fact more so? Stronger too. And having them around men in some wasteland far from civilization raises no tensions. /s/s
Actually, I think he was saying that the MEN around the women would have emotional commitments that would be harmful:
“”I think that can be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interests of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. And I think that’s probably - you know, it already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat. But I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat.”
Notice he compares the emotion to the “camaraderie of men” in combat, and saying it would be even more of a factor with women there.
