To ANYONE who thinks this is a good idea, how does the inclusion of women to any front line combat forces INCREASE warfighting readiness and capabilities????
It's actually a rhetorical question, women don't add anything. In fact, women in these areas hurt the cause. The ONLY reasons this is being foisted on the military is political correctness, and the deliberate denigration of our US armed forces.
As Clint Eastwood, as dirty harry in the enforcer, uttered during an applicant for detective board: What do you think this is, some kind of encounter group.
I guess the answer has been delayed a few years as it is obviously YES now.

Bingo!
I couldn't have said it better.
Well stated.
Men and women are not the same; they don't think, act or emote the same. All this nonsense about “same” physical standards is nonsense. What matters is the innate aggression that resides in males (testosterone).
Media and other “equal rights” advocates mock it as chest-thumping behavior and they don't recognize it as warrior behavior. Women can be mean but true aggression is lacking, and after a career in the military I am tired of the empty argument that say, "well, if they can meet the same physical standards. . .". That is NOT the most important aspect. Natural agression is.
Women in the military ACT like they are all hoorah and aggressive but acting is not being. It is an act.
The feminine side is always repressed and hidden in warrior environments, therefore females deny their own femininity when they enter the warrior world. That is not natural.
