8 months in the Persian Gulf, and 6 in Somalia flying Huey's. Judging from the "68 Grunt" name, I'm assuming you probably have extensive Vietnam experience. If there is an attempt to attribute validity of our statements to our combat backgrounds, I'll make it easy and conceed.

The point I was trying to make, first off, was that I was very familiar with the Marine Corps, and the commradarie of those in it...and it's requirements for complete trust for those you fight with.

Your comment of "I'm gonna type real slow so that maybe you'll understand" not only implied condescention, but also seemed to show that you didn't read the complete thread, or my posts completely. I agree completely that with how society is today, there is no way that women can effectively be combat troops....first off, since most can't meet the same physical demands, and secondly, because men tend to give them preferential treatment. And I believe that stance, presented in prior posts (read all my posts in this thread) addressed all your points prior to your post.

Semper Fi

Well, Semper Fi back at you, and I salute your service.

Man, between you and 68Grunt, I'd say the Marine Corp salutation is "F*** You!". HA!
