As a retired paratrooper, please do give a few battalions of female infantry so they can be chewed up in close combat. Some day in the future, it will once again be the mission of the infantry “to close with and destroy” the enemy. On that day, all the current crowd will find agony in their cries for equality on the battlefield. Today’s infantry has not really gone toe-to-toe in pitched battles which raged up through history into Viet Nam. That “some day” will be a sad day of reckoning.
Very well said, Jumper. It's all bullshit until actual, desperate infantry combat is joined. The horror is unspeakable. It is not even for average men, who themselves are stronger than the toughest women. It is slaughter.
