Hell, they even managed to avoid cheap shots at Pfc. Lynch. I'm impressed.
Biologically, emotionally and physically men were made to fight other men. Women simply don’t have this make-up. If I were under enemy fire for a prolonged period of time I certainly wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of women, who would probably end up shrieking and crying. I saw a tv program a while back on women going through basic training in the British army and it seemed like every ten minutes one woman or another would break down crying. It was ridiculous.
I don’t think I need to say much about the physical strength differences between men and women, but if I were lying out in a battlefield injured and had to be dragged off, I certainly wouldn’t be able to rely on a woman to do that.
You don’t have to look much further than a man’s eyes to realize that it’s in his biological nature to fight. Men’s eyes are sunken into their head to protect them during fights, while women’s eyes bulge out more.
Violence and killing simply comes much easier to men. Look at chimpanzees – something like 98% the same genetic make-up as man. And when one chimp troop begins to harass another chimp troop the males get together and silently sneak into the other camp and let loose with some chimpanzee whoop-ass. It's something to read about - it almost reads like a special forces assault.
Interestingly, I saw a report not more than a couple weeks ago that found that having men who’ve been through battle and have post traumatic stress syndrome sit around and talk about it in a therapy-like atmosphere aggravates the situation to no end. That’s the female way to do things – sit around and talk. The normal male response of simply shutting your mouth, sticking the memories in the back of your mind, and getting on with life is the best recourse for men.
I would also doubt that many soldiers would take orders from women in the midst of a firefight. I imagine that most grunts on the ground would have absolutely no confidence in a woman’s ability to conduct a battle. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The perception exists. I very much doubt that a high pitched voice would carry much authority during a pitched battle. Homosexuals are kicked out of the military, to a large degree, because men in battle will not listen to someone who is not truly a man.
For much the same reasons, when you get on a plane, you know as well as I, that both men and women want to hear a man’s voice coming over that intercom when the captain comes on to speak. Rightly or wrongly, I think a majority of people would feel less comfortable and confident if they knew a woman was flying the plane. When I’m driving a car and somebody in front of me does something stupid, I naturally assume it’s a woman and 9 times out of 10 I’m right. There has to be a confidence level between the people in a combat unit and throwing women in there will lessen that level greatly.
So putting women in combat is stupid. Women were never meant to fight in battle. There is nothing about women that would ever indicate they have any sort of inherent inclination towards fighting and war. And because having women in combat roles is simply wrong for so many reasons, and because combat is such an important and grave matter, I would say that having women in combat is, in fact, morally wrong.
I appreciate women to no end, but I'm not about to subscribe to things that I consider fundamentaly erroneous simply because of political correctness.
Personal experience has repeatedly demonstrated to me that men are better drivers than women. It's a scientific fact that men have reflexes way above and beyond that of women. They are better able to react to fluid situation than are women. Men are generally right-brained creatures while women are left-brained. People with more devleoped right-brain functionality are better at operating machinery.
Men also have much better spatial abilities than women, i.e. men are much better able to quickly judge and react to unfolding traffic situations. Hence, men are better drivers than women. But we all knew that anyway. (well, at least I did)
It's a scientific fact that women are far more emotional than men.
Yeah, women are lousy combat infantryman. Truth. Tell it to the air farce. Basically every land based US mainland air force role can be filled by women. And big surprise -- there are tons of rear echelon positions in the US army in the US that aren't ever going overseas. Mainly pick, pack, ship, and paperwork.
One that lost the culture war at home.
