I saw the interview, and I did not hear him criticize women’s emotions. He was talking about men’s emotional inclination to protect women and how that could compromise the mission. This is an argument I have heard for many years, and one that I completely agree with based upon my 23 years of service in a sexually integrated Army.

Having said all that, I am no fan of Saint Rick the Sanctimonius. Sadly I am also no big fan of any of the other three either. I will, however, enthusiastically support the eventual nominee against Obama(even if it is Romney).

Which is what he should have said and his point would have been succint and clear. Instead, he opted for vague references to emotions, naturally, compromising missions. I have been corrected several times by military guys on this thread, and I defer to you and them regarding women and combat. However, believe me when I say, most women who hear this comment from Santorum, will only hear one word, “emotions” and to women that has hormones written all over it. We hear it all the time and I still think there is a good chance that is what he was alluding to.
