I agree and every damn one played the PC BS game. There are about two others on this board who actually humped the bush in Vietnam and I did, too. I can damn sure tell you no woman is going to take a pill to stop her from taking a dump for 3-4 days straight then hump the bush with 380 rounds of 5.56 mm,4 HE grenades, 4 smoke, a claymore, add a belt of M60 7.62 machine gun ammo, a 60 mm mortar round in her rucksack along with extra ammo, 5 days rations, etc. Then she has to hump through wait a minutes vines that snap back and cut your arms, hands, face, or any where they hit, have leeches crawling on her and sucking her blood, go without any washing of anything, no teeth brushing, no nothing except water, smokes, and food you brought plus you fill your canteens with stagnant water from bomb craters and a halzone tablet as going to a stream will most likely get you killed. Add walking/wading in thigh high swamp water and no squatting to pee, no wandering away from the perimeter at night where you spend half the night awake/alert and only sleep 3-4 hours. You may well have to take an amphetamine to go on this mission as you may well have been up the night before this OP on a night ambush. There is nothing romantic ladies about living like a damn animal in the bush and you make as little noise as possible as your job is to find and kill the bad guys before they find you. One wrong step or noise can get men killed. When you get back off the choppers in camp the medics will give you what we called “brown bombers.” Before you can finish a shower your ass will run for the latrine to take a dump.

I think it was disgusting that not one candidate said women are not designed for combat and are to be protected.

I couldn't agree more. There are so many negative aspects to this issue that fall under combat readiness. Something as simple as going to the bathroom when you are all suited up for combat to the mental games it plays with men's’ minds, which can be deadly in knock down drag out combat. I do not like it. Now they want us to believe women should be in Special Forces. Give me a break. As a retired Marine with a close relative now in Special Ops., I know what these guys have to be capable of doing because the situations they get themselves in call for being ‘super man.’ There simply is no woman on the face of the earth who can honestly meet these physical and endurance requirements. The only way is to cheat the system on the quals to get them in and then their presence poses too many negative dynamics for the rest of the warriors. If Trump asks true hard nosed generals, they will tell him the same thing.

I think it was disgusting that not one candidate said women are not designed for combat and are to be protected.

Yeah, I hear you! Thank God Ted Cruz [who wasn't questioned at the debate] would consider restoring combat ban for women as president.

Bring back chivalry to America!

Vote Ted Cruz 2016!

“I think it was disgusting that not one candidate said women are not designed for combat and are to be protected.”

I agree with you. The answer Trump gives below probably means he does to:

“I would really speak to the generals, because I would want to hear that without a political bent,” Trump cautioned. “To the public, they say, ‘yes, yes, yes,’ but I would want to hear it without the political bent.”

When women are discussed in American society they are given all kinds of advantages from the government because it is understood that they are a minority and that men have unfair advantages.

All of the sudden when women are thrust in the armed services they can do anything a man can do because they are just like men.

I’m confused. When in civilian society, women need all kinds of subsidies and laws to protect them against men.

But when they are in the armed services they are interchangeable with men.

Why the double standard?
