Never mind the upper body strength requirements, just put ANY women in an infected tropical slime swamp up to their necks for a week and see how they fare. No cleaning up, no getting out, nothing, just perfect silence, ready to slit throats every moment. Live (eat, sleep, piss, s#it etc) in this stuff for a week, then another week.

Israelis do NOT have women in combat units. They serve in the military, but NOT in combat arms. The IDF learned from that mistake many decades ago.

On an entirely different topic, how do you keep your barrel unobstructed in that environment?

They may not now. I know women did serve in Israeli combat units many years ago.

Matt, that was a totally awesome video.
Thanks so much for sharing. Like the SEALplane idea as well.

Black plastic shoot-through muzzle caps that fit snugly around the entire flash suppressor. Or at least that was how we did it long ago.

THanks. It was a blast to finally do it with dolphins, something we had been trying to do for 20 years. Usually they take off before you can get a dive plane ready and get in the water.
