"when men start having bloating and then bleed every month, or carry a 8# pound baby inside for several months, and then have to push that baby out, with pelvic bones actually thinning out to be able to do this, please get back to me about how much women can put up with....

Except carrying a baby and having adaptable pelvic bones is not at all comparable to experiencing combat.

Below is a link to an enlightening article by a female Marine captain; she details the weakness of her body compared to that of the men she served with, and how it started to break down.

From the article: "It was evident that stress and muscular deterioration was affecting everyone regardless of gender; however, the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines and further compounded by gender-specific medical conditions.

I understand that everyone is affected differently; however, I am confident that should the Marine Corps attempt to fully integrate women into the infantry, we as an institution are going to experience a colossal increase in crippling and career-ending medical conditions for females."
