I sort of understand how you think that women in combat might be able to cut it with the big boys. I always thought I could fly an airplane until I tried it. After I learned how to do it, I couldn't believe how naive I had been. I personally have had the experience of knowing a number of women who could kill without a second thought, but that's not the issue. The point is not that women can't kill or don't do it well or don't enjoy it and it has nothing to do with rights. We are talking about combat. I have no objection to women in support roles that do not require a lot of strength and endurance.

"I sort of understand how you think that women in combat might be able to cut it with the big boys."

You aren't reading what I've actually said. Women in combat can't cut it with the big buys until they absolutely have to...then they do what they must, and sometimes they don't make it. (Sometimes the guys don't either.) I don't believe women ought to serve in combat roles. I don't believe it!!!!!!! It is NOT good when it HAS happened--yet it HAS happened because sometimes the front line is HOME!!!!!! Yet you guys keep wanting to twist my position as if I said they should!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH

Only male elephants go musth. However. That won't comfort anyone trampled by a female elephant.
