Ahhh one of my favorite arguments!
I spent eleven years in the Corps,
and I always point out the same problem with women in the military,
The Women that serve for the most part are not the problem,
The real problem is the way men treat women!
Yeah you heard me right!
Sexual harassment, coodling, "special favors"
I have pretty much seen it all.
When I was a sargeant with a number of WM's in my charge,
I quickly realized that the only way to treat them and to train them was as Marines.
In the begining, they took offence to it, and thought I was just being a mean S.O.B.
but you know what? Slowly as they began to notice that I treated them no different from any other Marine
That I asked from them the same things I asked of the rest of the male Marines in my charge.
and that I wouldn't brook none of the sexual stupidity from my male marines either
I tell you that if you treat them as soldiers, sailors, airman, or Marines
and expect them to carry themselves as such they will.
Take a good look at some of the Carrier pics we are getting from the navy
You will see women bombing up F-18 and such wearing the red shirt of ordinancemen
and lifting those bombs onto their racks.
and you are going to tell me that women can't handle the loads a man can!
you don't have to believe they can do it
They have to believe it
and they do!

OK one question SIR! Did they have to pass the same physical tests(PT) as the men? Pass them to graduate?!? I know they didn't~! They have to pass a test but the test is DIFFERENT for woman.(Different running times, different amount of pushups with knees down of course and different standards for situps and the like....gauntlet ...oh yeah run it at different times with different situations) So don't try this mallarchy about you treating them all the same! BULL PUCKEY
