alright Bruce, tell me when and where in what theater we are going to repeat Normandy and Inchon and I’ll agree to consider the argument that the ladies need to get out of the military and come home and work the factories and farms- by presidential decree
We had hundreds of thousands of troops fighting a ground war in Iraq just a few years ago. Not just spec ops, but standard Army and Marine infantry, tank, and artillery units. Unless you were holed up like the Unabomber, I can't imagine how you could possibly have missed that.
I've been to too many funerals of combat Marines in the last decade plus to accept your bizarre contention that it just doesn't happen anymore because it isn't Normandy or Inchon.
Well, you just beat the hell out of that strawman, didn't you?
Nobody here is arguing that all women should be removed from the military. This is in reference to the very recent, very specific order the President issued to the Service Heads requiring them to open all MOS's/ratings to women.
That order was issued despite the (by far) most complete, professional analysis of the impact such a mandate would have, which was conducted and completed by the Marine Corps. It was a clear example of a social justice crusade trumping military effectiveness.
