I understand modern warfare very well.....I have four back to back COMBAT deployments. Women have no, zero, zip, zilch, nada, nien, mu, nunca place in a combat unit. Unless it is a clerical or nursing (rear echelon) position.

And sometimes, you can't just call in A-10s and Specter C130 gunships and scream "Broken Arrow" into the radio and everything goes awesome just like on tee-vee. Things often go south of bad.

God made men one way, and women a different way....and women are the "weaker vessel."

I know what it is like to hold the hand of one of my Marines as his life slowly bleeds out of him while the doc frantically searches for the entry wound. I couldn't imagine what that would be like if that Marine would have been a woman.

I know what it is like to go Winchester, surrounded 360 degrees by the enemy, cutoff, pinned down, and next to nill chance of re-supply anytime soon.....danger-close artillery is the only thing keeping us alive. I thank God, we didn't have women with us if not just for their sake, but ours.

I know what it was like when we learned Jessica Lynch had been taken POW and that emotions were higher b/c she was a woman. Losing a brother in arms is hard enough....men are supposed to be protectors of women; even seeing pictures of fallen women I don't know in the Military Times articles is difficult.

I also know that the women are still not held to the same fitness standards as men, which also makes it easier for women to get promoted (they do less, or do it slower for a higher score).....meaning men often have more experience before attaining the same rank.

Further, there's no place for open homsexuals, or any other leftist social engineering degradation of the military.

I think that sums up modern warfare pretty well.

Excellent post but it will fall on deaf ears. The feminists and their useful idiot supporters are clamoring to get both young men and women killed in combat to prove they are idiots. Not that they will be joining as 11B’s of course, nor will their daughters but it is there fervent wish that somewhere soon some Rambolina brandishing a SAW will become their Audie Murphy. And what’s worse is that sooner or later the Pentagon politicos will actually go along with them.

Not bad, but you left out quota's for promotion, what happens when the romantic element is introduced to the combat team, the impact pregnancy has on a unit with the rates of nondeployables soaring, etc.
