Its possible America might have to adopt the Israeli approach, where all able citizens must participate in basic training.
Not everyone has to be in a mud filled trench with a rifle and a shovel.
thank you I was wondering when somebody was going to get it and you hit the nail on the head!..
Women in ancillary and covert or Intel roles OK. It does me good to walk the streets of Ir Kodesh and see the IDF girls with their M4 Carbines. But please remember, Israel is surrounded by enemies: under siege. These girls are defending their homeland, from a real time existential threat. THAT is the proper context for women in combat. A nation that cannot field enough men to fight its foreign wars is not worthy of winning them. The tragedy of America is that even our leaders have gone under the yoke of wussification and are too scared to even talk like real men in a presidential debate.
Fighting a war is life or death. If women are not physically capable they will be killed. Women would have to meet the standard or they will be killed in combat. They would also place men in danger if women are not up to the physical standards required for combat. Many men would be killed. The generals have to be very careful about women in combat.
