Women do have a place in our armed forces as support. This frees up a man with sufficient upper body strength to be a warrior on the field of battle. This is good.

I have no problem with a female combat pilot so long as the same standards of proficiency in training is applied to them. It does not take a lot of strength to fly a jet. If they can fly it and have the killer instinct, this is okay.

In close combat on the field of battle a womans presence changes the psychology of the men. It is instinctive to protect a woman and thus degrades fighting efficiency.

In the air a woman combat pilot is just another fighting aircraft and does not change the psychology of air combat.

How liberal of you.

Women take up the easy REMF jobs that are supposed to be the reward for taking arduous assignments. If you have never been in the military you would know this. It isn't fair and it sucks.

Women should not be it the military except for the medical services.

Quite frankly, I think if you filled a submarine full of women, it would be a hella attack force.

112 women all menstruating? Holy moly, stand by..

Mixing on a mission presents issues, there is always a fight 2 weeks in, and you gotta get that guys head clear and focused on the mission instead of the woman that was not issued in your seabag.

Then 2 weeks from port the same jerk gets squirrelly so we sit him down again...
