I appreciate your taking the time to respond. Your opposition to women in the military is clear.

If you wish to take on the issue posed in Joe's comment, pro or con, I welcome your reasoning. Joe's proposition is a solid start for discussion on the topic.

Obviously, it is enough for someone to simply be opposed or in favor of something without exploring in themselves or with others the reasons why. That is often the meat of many convictions. But if there is a rationale, or argument for or against, then others can benefit from the discussion.

I want women in the military, the more, the better. The more non-combat jobs they can fill, the more men are freed up to go to combat. Combat support units count as combat.

There most certainly are some very rare women who could be just as capable as almost any man in combat, and I would not be so presumptuous as to say I could set that standard. But a vast majority of women do not have the physical or emotional make-up that men have for combat.

I have never seen a man(though I have heard of it)cry in front of everybody when criticized sternly, but every woman I have seen has cried. If you have not noticed the difference in physical characteristics between men and women, you need to get out more.
