I think most men who have been in combat don’t want to be in it again. WWII vets, for example, often seem to not even want to talk about it. I agree. Someone who actually wanted to “get bloody” shouldn’t be in the military in the first place.

The reason we carry the proverbial big stick is so we are (hopefully) never required to use it. That lesson seems lost on many in government today who seem to want to throw the military at virtually every problem.

The comment that men are afraid of losing their job to women is the most stupid comment I’ve ever seen about women going into combat roles...

As a Vietnam veteran, I would say what bothers men more than anything is the lack of support from a woman’s fear and the basic instinct males have to “protect” females. The male is concerned that he may spend valuable time looking out for female counterpart instead of applying all his energy into combat operations.
