the issue is this: women want to be able to make good money too and combat positions get combat pay
“Combat pay” and the resulting promotion potential is not the issue, so much as the objective is to dilute down and destroy the effectiveness of our armed forces.
There is no glamour in the trenches, it is a grinding, relentless drain on the sensibilities and capabilities, which tends to dehumanize the individuals that are exposed for an overly long period.
This extended social experimentation in trying to reverse the traditional roles of the genders, while an interesting study in perverse incentives and inappropriate rewards, is doomed to failure in actual practice.
No. Some woman officers think they want to be in the combat arms so they can get on a faster track for promotions and command. They don’t actually have any idea what combat really is: killing people and sending your young people out where they will be killed or maimed.
Enlisted women want nothing to with combat and they are non-volunteering in droves.
Only dimwit careerists, worthless senior officers and brain-dead, non-serving congressturds and certainly the enemy want women in combat.
