...and you are right- it isn’t just about the infantry, or any combat arms branch. Ever see a female soldier (mechanic) try to pull a 5 ton truck tire off for repair or a female refueler manhandle hundreds of pound of fueling equipment? The vast majority can’t do it without assistance from a male who has his own tasks to perform.
But all of that is besides the point. We have a bigger problem in play- a loss of importance in the role of motherhood and building strong families to maintain a strong nation, which is what this Lefty “female equality” garbage is all about.
I agree. Like many of the arguments we have with the left, we let them build their argumentative bases on flawed foundations. We nitpick over details instead of attacking the foundation.
In this case, it is the loss of the importance of motherhood.
I oppose females in combat simply because of the impact on morale (men are different around women, that is not even a point of argument) and in a combat situation, you get superiors hitting on subordinates, you get love triangles, you get resentment and envy, you get women who guys help (as you said) instead of doing their jobs, you get a lot of unnecessary things.
Add to that the logistical tail of tampons, birth control pills, pregnancies, resources spent on separating the sexes and different facilities, you could go on an on.
For what? A social experiment? It is criminal.
