For now, I won't get into the argument of women in combat. But I'll say this much. I sure wouldn't date any women that are cops or firefighters or soldiers. There are certain qualities that one looks for in the opposite sex, and any women that is a soldier or cop, etc, is certainly LACKING in the qualities that I seek. And for this reason, If I had a daughter, I would greatly discourage her from persuing such a course in life. It's hard enough to find a suitable mate without intentionally destroying the attractive qualities that you do possess.

For chrissakes, ladies, use a little common sense.

You would probably have to resurrect the common law doctrine of coverture to do that.

"I am (both as a Christian and as a man) thoroughly convinced that men should protect and cherish women, and that any man who would willingly send a woman to fight in his stead is a criminal."

While I don't entirely agree with that statement, I do feel that by nature, a man will be quite protective of any women on the scene, when staring at the face of danger. For this reason, I don't believe that women should be serving in combat. Sensible Executive Officers, regardless of gender, are capable of policing this issue. Politicians and the 'Perfumed Princes' of the Pentagon, have really screwed up in recent years where Military Women are concerned.

You asked for it! That's it...

Patriotic women should be allowed to serve their country in some capacity. I find it difficult to believe the all volunteer military would turn away a talented person willing to serve his/her country. I find it difficult to believe there are no women capable of making a positive contribution to the military in some capacity.

I was taught while I was growing up that women were to be revered, protected and given deference to because of their weaker physical makeup, but more importantly, it is a commandment of God and when honestly followed it likely will increase a man's respect for himself.

When our son reached the age that he was conscience of vocal differences between his Mother and me(arguments)I always reminded him to believe she was to be given deference to since there was no need to decide who was right or wrong and that she was never to feel ganged up on.

We have been married 53 years and I have never felt at any time she did not deserve all my protection and was always entitled to all I could do for her.

A woman, in my opinion, is God's greatest creation and precious beyond expression.
