I'm all for equal rights, but only within reason. It is not reasonable to lower standards in order to make it possible for women to serve. Standards do not get lowered on the battlefield, nor in a burning house. Most men can usually carry another man, if injured. Not so with women. When x number of people make up a brigade, a brigade of all men will have a greater relative strength than one mixed with genders. Modern weaponry and tactics only go so far, and hand- to- hand combat is, at times necessary. A unit is only as strong as its weakest link.
"women are for it"? I'm not. Does that count? Perhaps a 'handful' or 'some'. Do we really know how many 'women' in the USA or Globally are for it? v. women in cushy office legislative jobs, or activists, or those in the .... just asking.
Interesting picture. I don't think I've ever seen Nazi's laughing (outside of a sadistic torture moment), and playing the accordian to boot. Polka Nazi's?
Per the recent testimony on radio, etc...virtually no women in armed forces want or are signing up for combat...this is just more progressive delusional fantasy served up as political pageantry.
Please comment with charity and avoid ad hominem attacks. I exercise the right to delete comments I find inappropriate. If you use your real name there is a better chance your comment will stay put.
And the outrage by the libtards when these women are captured and raped? My disgust knows no bounds...
