The problem starts right there and goes downhill. Hollywood and feminist fantasies aside, fighting is a man’s job and serious countries don’t put girls in charge of their armed forces. Pathetic.

To: Always A Marine

A Freeper who said he was teaching a special military class in advanced fighting techniques told me he had the best woman he had ever seen in one of his classes. He said she knew her stuff and worked hard. At one point she went out into the hall. He followed her and found her crying. She said, the lightest, smallest guy in there is backing me around the floor like I’m a nobody. He said she worked her ass off and got through the class but in no way was she going to last in an actual fight against a halfway competent male.

I’m male. I have some fight training. But on the spectrum of the potential competition, I’d get my butt handed to me. Some people are designed for some roles and others aren’t. There are few women who can compete against a male. That’s just nature. This is why there shouldn’t be female patrol officers or females in combat roles. It was a requirement for the guys working on the tanks my company maintained that they had to be able to pull the heaviest unconscious man out of a tank. Then, I heard we had to hire some women. (I didn’t find out how that worked out as I took another job.)
