Reminds me of the recent firefighter trainee who failed her performance test. Couldn't hack the physical challenge. They decided to pass her anyway. That's bs and for those of you who don't think so, may you find her climbing the ladder to save you from a burning building.

For men, going to war with women beside you will be like running across a busy freeway with your kids. You're probably going to be killed anyway but you'd stand a better chance of not being killed if you didn't have to worry about and protect your kids.

That's what I was thinking. I know my son would spend time worrying about the women.

That might be the dumbest comparison I've ever seen on here.

Population health is compromised by such a move.

Protecting the health of the population is not important in a mass casualty situation? 20 years from losing large portions of breeding age women we would be a much weaker nation.

Does it really boggle your mind that a lot of women do have the strength and stamina and want to fight to defend their country?

Hmmm, never mind, it's obvious you never met a strong woman before.

I bet most of the guys posting in this thread have never been in the military or are physically capable of passing a physical for any branch of the military.

This entire issue could be fixed if the physical tests, for combat roles anyway, were the same across the board.

So then how do you feel about the women that have posted here that have been and have said it's a bad idea? Are they being misogynistic towards their own gender?
