I love women and have a great deal of respect for them as my wife will attest but......to quote Dirty Harry, "A man must know his limitations", the same must apply to women!
There isn't a lot that I can say here that hasn't already been said and known by all men and women. I don't care how physically fit a women may appear to be or how well she scores on readyness test, she isn't equipped for full military combat.
There are obvious differences between men and women, differences that our Military leaders apparently aren't aware of. So my advice to the Military hierarchy is to take a course in biology and leave the blood, guts, killing, dismemberment and torture to the men.
Women have very important rolls in war but combat is not among them.

Yes, and one huge distraction is simply going potty when you're out with a bunch of men...... it may not necessarily bother the female but it will disrupt the men's focus. My sister was a Major over nurses during Desert Storm. She told me countless stories about this when they would be on patrol, and no latrine. Another problem was just the monthly menstrual cycle. Sis would laugh and say....."if we could just get them all to menstruate at the same time..." In her day, at 6' and 150lbs, Sis could 'hang' with some of the best of soldiers. One of the boys at deer camp since she was a tiny girl......eventually owning the land we hunted.......and a hell of a deer hunter, but she repeatedly told me she would never want to be in full combat with the guys.....that it wasn't right for many reasons.
