Army gets feminized.Yea, I guess the women in many jobs have made the large Tank Divisions of the Cold War Army slower and less potent. But let's face it we don't need big tanks anymore. My son went to infantry training at Fort Benning and all 11Bs are trained there and it is all male and very disiplined -- I would put it on par with Marine training.
Most of the Army equipment is too big, too complicated and too hard to maintain. Dicipline is lax and the inclusion of females hurts the readiness and the deployability of any Army force. There are lots of lessons to be learned from the Marines who have old and simple equipment and are light and fast to deploy. What is the mission of the modern Army?(The answer to this question will lead us to how sensitive the Army really needs to be.)
So congrats to the Marines they deserve the job!!
