I am sure your wife and daughter are reveling in your humor.
Women are demanding access to jobs that put them in theaters of combat, something I wouldn't wish on the most capable men I know. Combat is an ugly business, especially when it comes to CQB, kill another man with a knife and have him brethe his last breath in your face. Reality sucks but there are times when there are no alternatives, kill or be killed. There is no room for hesitation, it's a game of the quick and the dead and if you lose there isn't any second chance. Would I send any woman I know it to a theater of combat? NO. Would I willingly send men to the same place? Only if there wasn't any alternative and I was willing to go with them. Why in the world would anyone want to enter a theater of war?
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

And how many tours have you performed in a theater of war? My best guess is ZERO. I can tell you all about what I think it's like to give birth to a child but I'll openly confess that not only have I never done it, I'm not physically capable. Compare apples to apples instead of making boastful statements based on "how things ought to be."

Huh? You really are on a tear tonight.....you ask questions, then fabricate meanings with the answers that are given. I never claimed to have any experience with war (beyond what my brother has shared with me about his 3 tours in Viet Nam) What boastful statement did I make? What comparison did I make? Come on man, get some sleep and re-read this stuff tomorrow.
Or start from the beginning; you don't know what you are talking about and you never did and you never will. Shut up, you never killed anyone face to face. I have. Want to compare notes? It's a memory I'd rather not revisit but if you want to go there I'll talk with you face to face about how it went down.

Seperate but equal? Will they put women in combat units or create women only combat units. I think women only units would work better. Did the navy start out that way, with women only ships?
