But don't cry about sexual harassment if a male is too close during the line up.
And you don't cry about women who haven't even cried about anything. Or are you holding all women accountable for the past actions of a few? I'm sure that's easy for you. Why don't wait to pass judgement on others or is that too hard for you?
ILL talk about race real quick its been brought up twice. White people and black people are all people, besides cultural differences exactly the same. Men and Woman are not the same. Not at all. That's one reason it can't be compared
I have no doubt that women can be effective in combat. I remember the Russians had a very feared all female unit that was utterly feared by the germans in WW2.
That being said, there are any number of valid reason why this is a bad idea.
It looks like that ship has sailed. its time to insure the standards for both men and women are the same. I would hate to be in combat and get shot and the only person who could pull me out was a woman who didnt have the strength to get that done.
I served 4 years in the Navy 87 to 91. I was in Desert Storm.

The reason it's different is that dislike between a white man and a black man is due to cultural upbringings and all those can be un done.
Sexual attraction between a man and a woman is biology and can't be reversed through social engineering.
Gays are applicable but then that's why they remain closeted in the military.
You haven't been around long enough to see that the leaners tend to always go back to people like those although they haven't been involved for so long. Also, they don't know much about the Winter Soldier thing so they still love Jon Carry. Most of them don't even know that he attended two North Vietnam meetings in Paris and all of it was against the United States. Worse yet, they can't handle the fact that Carry wrote all his medal requests, himself, or that he even backed off on his first Purple Heart which he got for a very small piece of metal in his finger that the medic claimed he took out with tweezers. Yes, he did take that one off his website in 2004 but he sure used it as one of the three needed to get out of Vietnam with only 4 months of service.
You have to accept the fact that leaners just have to work like that.
No, you just have to accept facts:

irregular warfare against insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan blurred the lines between “combat†and “non-combat†roles, meaning that female soldiers have been fighting in combat in practice for roughly a decade. 292,000 American women served in combat zones during in these two wars, 152 of whom were killed in action. There is no evidence that these women’s bravery damaged “unit cohesion†or in any other fashion worsened the ability of soldiers to do their jobs. The evidence from foreign militaries suggest the same. Several American allies in Afghanistan allowed women to serve in “frontline roles,†and found that it had no effect on the performance of the unit in question. Israel’s Caracal Batallion, the country’s famous mixed gender combat unit, has performed admirably in combat situations.Wall Street Journal: Women Shouldn't Be In Combat Because Men Poop | ThinkProgress
I already mentioned that blacks are not the same thing.
Obviously no one cares what you consider to be the same thing because what you don't want acknowledge is that your arguments aren't particularly different.

This has nothing to do with woman's rights.

His mental inferiority and the inherent weaknesses of his character are factors that must be considered with great care in the preparation of any plan for his employment in war. . . ."
