Oh,boy. Are you a Lib? It sure sounds like it. We women do NOT belong in combat. I would not blame the men for not wanting a woman to be their platoon commander. Combat infantry is a MAN’S job.

Quite the contrary, politically I am a staunch conservative. Philosophically I am a libertarian.

It is not my place to say what is a man's job or a woman's job. I fully recognize that men and women are different physically, emotionally and psychologically. However, if a woman is physically, emotionally, psychologically and mentally fit for a position and they desire that position, they should have equal opportunity to achieve that position regardless of race, color, religion or gender.

It doesn't matter whether I believe someone should or shouldn't do something, under our constitution, if they meet the standards, they should have equal opportunity. You may believe women don't belong in combat. You have the freedom to hold and express that belief. However as a libertarian I do not believe you have the right to prevent another person from exercising their freedom to strive for and qualify for a position.

I agree, and I am a former military reservist. There are places where woman offer great support, but when it comes to combat those guys must know you can and will be able to give them the same support they are giving you.

Putting women into combat is never a good idea. I do not care if she meets the requirements. It is a man’s job.
