"I would say why lower the standards? Keep them were they are and see if women really can hold their own."

Apparently you do not understand the administrative workings in the military. If a Commander is not pulling enough "numbers" that the civis in the Executive Branch expect, the Commander's career is over. What is a Commander to do? Keeps the standards the same, lol.

Also, front-line training/combat is very graphic at times, should we accommodate the females privacy at the expense of proficiency of the unit? History is not on the side that whines about equality, females are just granted special rights that are not afforded to their suppose equals in the military (My 0-5 AF wife tells me this all the time, btw). Your tag-line combined with your arguments is very convoluted.

I’m merely asking if a woman wants to serve and is willing to do so AND turns out to be up to the task, why should she be prevented? Is every male up to the task as well? It’s her country too, isn’t it? As to my tag-line, Marxism is doctrinaire and lock-step. I’m not.
