Seriously old timer...Women have served in the military since the Civil War..Educate yourself

I am far more educated on this topic than 99% of the posters on this board. Sure, there were women nurses in the Civil War, just as there were women performing support roles in WWII, but there have never been women in the U.S. infantry, never.

Go home, put a 100 lbs. ruck sack on your wife, give her an M-16 with a few hundred rounds of ammo, along with water, an entrenching tool, etc., on her web gear, and see if she can march 12 miles in under 3 hours.

Next, see if she can sling you over her shoulder and carry you a few hundred yards, as a man would be expected to do when carrying a wounded comrade.

There is probably 1 woman in 1000 that can do these things, and that my friends is why they don't belong in combat. One does not change policy for 1 woman in a thousand. You establish laws and policies for the middle of the bell curve, not the edges.

Old school, yes, clearly I am that. "The ruin," I doubt that very seriously.
