It’s not just what the bad guys would and have done to females captured in combat.
It’s the fact that female bodies weren’t designed to do the heavy lifting required in combat arms MOS’s.
Then there’s the issue of hygiene. Right now female soldiers are required to come out of the field every three days for female hygiene.
How is that gonna work in an Infantry Company or Tank Platoon?
As usual they’ll do what has been done inthe past and simply lower the standards for qualification.
None of the supposed smart people in D.C. have figured out that the incidents of sexual assault and harassment have increased in conjunction with women getting pushed closer and closer to the front lines. If that weren’t the case...then the rates of assault/harassment would have gone down not up over the last 20 years given the huge amount of training we are given in a calendar year on this subject.
Great insight buddy,any way you cut it to take away command decision from those who generally know what they are doing is usually a stupid move.
Pretty soon there will be something like the wounded warrior project on t.v. for women who were abused in the military. These politicians have managed to screw up something very sacred, our military.
