If that is true the - NO - I disagree.
It is true and I think most of the women in the military supporters are not aware of it.
I am learning to deal with the images that people have in their heads, and on this issue in their minds, they are thinking of the existing military with females being added to it, which of course would lead to “the more the merrier”, who would not want more help, more Soldiers and Sailors and Marines to help the men already there?
The reality is that females are not added to the existing Marines, or to the Marine Corp of 1970, instead the male Marines who would be there, are not there because the female replaced them, the goal is to make the military at least 50% female.
A question I sometimes ask people who think females are just fine, is “Why don’t we make the Marine Corps 100% female if we believe that females are equal in soldiering?”
