Can’t believe we agree on something again. I spent 21 years in the military. Started in the Marines and retired from the Army. Was both enlisted and officer. Served in combat units and combat support units. Deployed to Iraq twice.

Over that time I observed a few woman that could honestly hack it in the military, pull their own weight, and contribute to mission accomplishment. However, the vast majority were overall detrimental to their unit and far outweigh the good ones.

Women should be limited to the nursing corps and admin units. Letting them serve in combat units is sheer madness.

We probably agree on most things. Same with most people on this site.

That is the consensus when you can get people to speak honestly about it. Nowadays everyone would be terrified about admitting the truth because in the Clintonized, Obamanized military, speaking the truth can get you cashiered.

Exactly my point. And we all have Patricia Schroeder to thank for starting this bullsh*t.
