LOL, what a crock.

Women break down under the hard physical stress of soldiering, their injury rate is higher, they suffer from bad hygiene and they can’t keep up, they are losers in the military because of their injury rate, pregnancy, and low reenlistment rates.

You are correct about them being easier to lead though, and many writers have written about that corrosive effect they have, as weak leaders come to prefer the less effective, but less challenging females to hide their leadership deficiencies.

You don’t know about hygiene in the military? Have you been in, or do you read military history, for instance living in trenches and mud holes for weeks at a time?

Women are a real problem in the military, they can’t even do support jobs well, for instance changing the heavy tire on the truck they are driving, or lifting armament, or gear, they can’t even carry the needed gear for their own packs and set up large tents, and get over walls.

You make good points.

Something that comes to mind, there has been quite a few wartime instances when military units have had to make very hard forced marches, sometimes to gain an advantage over the enemies position, sometimes in a fighting retreat, sometimes to prevent yourself from getting outflanked.

No dawdling, the survival of the entire unit can be at stake. In these kinds of moves, the unit cannot slow down, or stop for someone not able to keep up the pace.

If the enemy is outflanking you, he will have you entrapped if you haven’t force marched yourself out of the trap. This is not just infantry, by the way, getting outflanked can happen to just about any kind of outfit.
