Exactly so. I am a 50 year old, female, semi-couch potato. I noted in the photos of these two women that they are both quite small.

I am not, by any means, wanting to impugn their courage or their desire to serve. However, women are physically and psychologically different from men (d'oh). Their presence on the battlefield is a danger to others, both due to their reduced strength and the men's God-given desire to protect women.

I am not comforted in the least by military efforts to desensitize this instinct. In fact, I am appalled.

I thank God that these women are coming safely home to their families. I also hope that this present administration will take measures to avoid further combat-related incidents by not allowing women to serve in battlefield areas.
