re: Male and Female Marines to Share Tents in the Field

Why don't they just do the whole "you are a soldier, not a male or female or trans, a soldier. These are the requirements to be a soldier"

No more of the lowering the bar shite.

It's outrageous and totally sexist to exclude women because they can't do what men do.

Obvious

That's not the point that we're trying to make here. The point is, yes there are strong women out there, nobody is denying that. But you can't deny the fact that when men and women get together, there will be sexual tension. Plain and simple. And where there is sexual tension, there will be sex. And when you have that, you risk the potential of having a very cohesive unit becoming not cohesive at all. You can ruin careers this way as well as lives.

That's not getting into the bigger argument that most strong women are weaker than somewhat weak men. As well as, women's bodies being more fragile, and them being not quite emotionally equipped to deal with combat.

It's very efficient-dem baws get to use both rifle AND gun.

Seriously.

How many women do you know that could handle the trench warfare in Flanders in 1915? Or debarking off the Higgins boats on Omaha in the first wave? Or watching corpses become so bloated that they took the form of a mutant from the heat and flies in the Pacific? Or the extreme cold on the Chosen Reservoir with tens of thousands of Red Chinese soldiers attacking your lines? Or watching a buddy fall into a pungee pit in Vietnam? Or step on a goddamned IED in Iraq?

I'll tell you how many I know that could come out of that hell and carry on a halfway normal life, and that answer is zero. Because I don't know many men that could go through that and come out the other side ok.

Nothing good will come out of this. Maybe some baby devil dogs.
This will be a nightmare imo

I've given this lots of thought, and I just can't see any possible issues that could arise from this.

We're good, guys.
