Under only one condition would I support women in front-line combat positions: The entire unit must be female. Come on, Amazons - show us what you can do! You don't need those boys.

Are there any female plumbers? I know one female truck driver. I can’t remember seeing any female UPS drivers. How about construction workers and I don’t mean the ladies who hold the signs.

According to Merriam-Webster...

Unfortunately, the dictionary became irrelevant the moment they threw the definition of marriage out the window. Words now mean anything the postmodern liberals desire them to mean.

It's almost as if somebody is trying to destroy The United States from within.

Gee. I wonder who would want to do that.

Societies where women have no role that is special to them often become societies where women are debased and abused.

My comment there:
The USA is in the thrall of social madness. This is often seen on the cusp of revolution and collapse. The reset to eternal natural law is going to be brutal. Do we believe, for example, that our future enemies will also handicap themselves with PC insanity? How will our PC-bound feminized and homosexualized military fare when we have to fight real battles like Normandy, Iwo Jima, the retreat in Korea, Hue City or Fallujah? Alas, Brave New Babylon.

"Envision a male soldier fails his fitness test..Why should he lose his job for running a 16:45, but a woman in his unit be able to keep hers while running a 19:40? It's only a matter of time until a soldier in such a predicament lawyers up and sues the U.S. Army for discriminatory practices."

I was almost sure that pareagraph was going to end with,

"... a matter of time until a soldier in such a predicament declares himself a pre-op trans woman, wears long hair in a prim army bun, and changes his name to Marilyn."

Seems to me that’s the logical thing to do if anyone is truly interested in determining female soldier combat effectiveness. All female combat units in training, all female combat units in actual combat situations. I mean how else would anyone logically do it?

The original story I saw referred to a soldier who is a Sikh, NOT a Islamist. The Sikhs are from Punjab in northwest India. They wear beards and turbans. The Sikh faith is not related to Islam.

Do you have a link to the original article the author is discussing? If there is evidence that the DoD has granted the same to moslem religious soldier, I will stand corrected.

thanks, G-F

Why not simply classify all soldiers on Physical and Mental Merit ONLY and the ones who cannot keep up are assigned to Base Logistics in the states etc...

You know, using logic and whatnot.

I am a woman and I grew up on a farm and probably more used to hard than 99% of the other women out there, however if I couldn’t pass the physical fitness for ANY position in the military I wouldn’t scream and shout about being supposedly slighted. Also there are other need on the battlefield that women have that are different for men, part of the military Logic is “Uniform” is that it is not the actual “uniform” but the concept of uniformity because if it is not easy logistically speaking to have to supply stuff that is non-standard.

Our bodies are different and take different logistics, so that would throw a monkey wrench into things, now it is far easier or not an issue at all to deal with in the states or near a base, but when it comes to front line combat the supply chains are less reliable and by necessity must be minimal standards. What an issue it would be if they had to replace a box of ammo with a box of specialized stuff for the one soldier out of a unit of 100 and because of this they ran out of ammo and were slaughtered....

The entire unit must be female.

**
Good point. Then the truth would come out about abilities and strengths when there are no men around to take up the slack.
