Are you, by any chance of the belief, that women actually belong in careers like frontline police work, firefighting, heavy construction, etc.. I actually believed a line I heard about "teams", that a team is only as strong as its weakest member.

I could argue this point for a long, long time.

I do not recall even implying that women should be locked away. Only that we should use a little common sense instead of P.C.. Perhaps it is the intrinsic value of diversity that is the question.

I could be persuaded that women belong in such positions by any logical argument. I eagerly await such enlightenment.

Apparently PFC Lynch is a great deal stronger than you are, seeing as how she's out there and you're not.

Kindly note that PFC Lynch was not on the "front line" in the classic military sense. Kindly note that battlefieds are tending to get more and more afrontal.

Indeed.

I do not recall even implying that women should be locked away. Only that we should use a little common sense instead of P.C.. Perhaps it is the intrinsic value of diversity that is the question.

And I'm asking--how much risk is acceptable to you? Is it greater than zero? If the acceptable risk IS zero, then how far are you willing to go to eliminate the risk?
