All of these threads begin to look the same.

Women shouldn't be on the front lines.
Women shouldn't be in any combat role.
Women shouldn't be on subs.
Women shouldn't be on any Navy ship.
Women shouldn't be in mobile units.
Women shouldn't be deployed overseas.
Women shouldn't be in the military at all.
Women shouldn't work outside the home.
Women shouldn't vote.
Women shouldn't speak.
Women shouldn't be seen.

You can find conservatives on this website who would balk at sentence #1 and others who will wax more enthusiastic the further down the list they read--some, I fear, would agree with Taliban if only because they agree with every single one of the statements above. This isn't an argument that can be resolved because you can find particular examples that appear to support any amount of restriction upon one half of the adult American population. There are certainly women who oughtn't be seen or heard!

That was a cute little rant but rhetoric doesnt change the facts.

Women simply do not posses the physical, mental and emotional abilities to withstand combat and even if they did they still serve as a roadblock to unite cohesion and discipline.

6000 years of human history bears that out.

Dont attach your rear end to an idea that can get shot down because when it does....so do you.

In fact I think it was John Lennon who said "women should be obscene and not heard."
