re: Active Marines - Have Women in the Infantry Had a Negative Impact on the USMC?

Quoting you is taking something out of context? It’s a serious question, as you obviously know very little about the military and what it claims to prioritize.

Yes, pulling ONE sentence out of the my post, and then based on that sentence asking “WTF do you think the military exists to do?” is absolutely taking that sentence of out context.

Just a question - why do they have to make us “better” and “more lethal”??? What if we’re still as good as we were and just as lethal? Fwiw, I support biology over politics on the issue. Set the standards. If a marine passes it, the marine passes it. I’m against making a special exception to “get more females in” but similarly against a restriction that keeps a female who qualifies out “because”.

My point is clearly that the standard for adding women to the infantry shouldn’t be that it makes our military “better” and “more lethal”, but I’d equally object to it making us “worse” or “less lethal”. If they can make the grade, without lowering standards, and help us maintain our lethality then I have no issue with it.
