My wife had twins, but still cringes when she sees my bloody knuckles after I have been fighting with a rusty piece of machinery.
My daughter is a pole vaulter and lives in the gym, but when when something heavy needs to be moved she gets her boyfriend (never goes to the gym) to move it.
Combat is a nasty sleep depriving grinder. It requires the ability to recuperate quickly with little to no sleep- only youth and testosterone does that.
How many female battalions have fought successfully? None, because they never existed.
Women are extremely important. They rock the cradle; which provides that emotional bond that is very much needed. They provide what men cannot do well. But they have never been able to field a fighting force.
In a pinch, a wrench can drive a nail, but a hammer will always work better.
The only thing in this whole thread was that we’d (I’d) like to have at least tried, given the opportunity. The guys here have belittled my wanting to at least try. If I had failed so be it. But at least I tried. Not like so many other people who won’t even give it a try because in their mind they’ve already failed. My dream fantasy has always been to try out for the English SAS. I don’t care if they don’t take women, it’s just the chance to try to see how far I could go. I know guys who wouldn’t even consider the idea of trying. They’re the wimps here, not me.
