That's what is so frustrating. Females physical limitations are one of the least important issues here. But I can't put up a graph or chart that shows what women do to morale and discipline. Anyone who has ever served know how big of a distraction they are, but people who have never been in a line unit will never understand it. It's not their fault, but they are simply incapable of really understanding the issues.

Exactly.

Ideally, that's why we have the Joint Chiefs, to be that barrier between civilian ignorance (literally, not being mean, meaning lack of understanding) and military matters.

Of course present day, present shitbird POTUS, they're largely PC puppets completely out of touch. (In all fairness this has occurred to some degree pre-BO).

Two things really scare me here

1)That the marines were the only branch to come up with hard data that this would make their force less effective. The commandant then promptly said this was a bad idea. The clown in the White House overruled him. Kudos to the Commandant for sticking up for his Marines.

2)The other branches that didn't get hard data said no problem.
