If women were equal to men we would not have women’s sports.

There is no law prohibiting women from being hired by professional football teams. The fact is there are no women who can meet the qualifications to play NFL football. The other fact is that most NFL players probably couldn't pass the physical and mental requirements to graduate from the SEAL program.

But we gotta have Women SEALS even if it means they get themselves and their fellow team members killed.

Also in today’s news: “Reports of Sexual Assaults in Military on Rise.”

Let me think about the wisdom of men like Elliot Ackerman, who have “proven” that there are no barriers to putting women into harm’s way. What could go wrong?

There has never been any military position opened to females that held females to the same physical standards as males. The recent push to bring females into the combat arms is not driven by a desire to prove the ladies have finally arrived in terms of physical strength. It is being done because all of the highest positions in the military always go to combat specialties....infantry, artillery, aviation, special operations, etc.

In order to have a 4-star chief of staff of the Army who is female, they have to let females in those combat specialties. Since females can’t meet the physical standards, they will change them again. Then they will try to avoid females in actual assignments that would prove their inability to keep up physically. They will be assigned to staff jobs, headquarters companies, etc., or their equivalents.

Some of them will be pre-selected at about the rank of major to receive a star. One of those will be pre-selected to be a 4-star. She will also become a Chief.

That is how they’ve done it in every other field opened to females. That is how they’ll do it here.

My sense is that NO young lady will EVER see a real Seal mission, except, perhaps, one specifically tailored for her....but, she will eventually be put in charge of that which she could not do. That favoritism will injure morale.
