I think that was stupid, because it introduced the idea of a consensual sexual relationship within sleeping quarters.
If your argument was that putting men and women together in combat is a mistake because men and women will give into the temptation to have consensual sexual relationships that will damage unit cohesion, I’m right there with you.
It was when you seemed to argue that it tempted men to commit murder, that I thought you went overboard.
"Boys" cannot consent. It is illegal to have a "sexual" relationship with boys, as in "Boy Scouts."
Allowing gay scoutmasters is just asking for boys to be raped by perverts. And indeed, that is exactly what happened. Incidents of sexual assaults skyrocketed under the new "woke" boy scouts.

That is a secondary aspect of my argument. The primary aspect of my argument is that women will cost the unit more than they will gain from having them. Women can't "hump" their packs like men. They don't have the endurance and they don't have the physique for it. There have been cases of women dislocating their pelvis during marches carrying heavy packs. Their bones and musculature cannot take the sort of pounding a fighting soldier needs to endure.
Additionally there is the problem of men feeling the need to protect them. This I am told is the primary reason Israel avoids women in combat troops. The men kept getting killed trying to protect the women. You also get the issues of jealousy ruining unit cohesion.
Say Sam fancies Sarah, but Sarah fancies Bob, and so maybe Sam is a little slow to help Bob in a fire fight, or even deliberately endangers Bob.
The military does not need this sort of sh*t.

No, that is not what I meant. That is an extreme case. Regular sexual harassment and fraternization is not.
Suppose a woman sleeps with the Sargent. What does this do to Unit cohesion? Does the Sargent favor her because he sleeps with her?
This whole idea is six ways stupid.
