“Santorum ... “The issue is … how men would react to seeing women in harm’s way or potentially being injured or in a vulnerable position and not be concerned about accomplishing the mission,” he said.”
I think he makes a good point.
The point he’s making (though not very well) has been tested and confirmed by the military for years. Male soldiers were able to withstand brutal and intense torture without breaking, but when they heard the screams of abused female soldiers they broke immediately. It makes you wonder how they’d withstand being made to watch the gang rape and mutilation of female soldiers by Muslim cowards.
