What they create or cannot deliver to the unit is the problem.

You seem to speak from experience, and I do respect that. When you served with women, what did they create and what did they fail to bring to the unit? And do the statistics prove that your experience is typical?

On top of that, you fail to make the most fundamental case for inclusion - size, strength, aggression.

I will let the Army be the judge of the fitness of any individual soldier for a specific MOS. I would not declare half the population ineligible for dozens of jobs which we badly need filled on the basis of nothing more than sex. Besides, isn't size a disincentive for many jobs? Tanker and pilot come to mind.

Apparently you didn't read my post, or you just don't believe the pluralist data. That women are generally not as qualified as men, and that they are generally a liability has been demonstrated, by the DoD and NOW. If you can challenge that data specifically and directly, you have a case. Otherwise your comments are hollow. I don't get where you're going with this.

I was in ROTC years ago. Never active military. Totally irrelevant to these observations.

I feel rather fatherly discussing these things with you, but...

Male/Female relationships create dynamics. Look around you in your classes and on campus. Do you see the great pursuit going on? The same dynamics will occur in military situations, perhaps more so due to stress and loneliness.

Are you so clinical that you need to refer to stats for understanding the earth beneath your feet?

What women do NOT bring to a combat situation are the masculine qualities of strength, agression and team cohesion. Ask yourself why no female compete with males in organized sports unless under the protective sanctions of legal and administrative edicts. Truth is, men and women ARE different. The statistics on that would be nearly 100%.

History ought to be your judge since brass can be changed with the whim of a single administration like the Krinton Kriminals.

Tanker and pilot are still subjected to the problems and consequences of combat. Besides, there are more than enough men to fill those jobs.

No more need to justify the PC tack. Go to bed like a good lad.
