To the Lurking DUmmies:
First, Women marathon runners, at high level, suffer more muscular and skeletal injuries resulting from training and participating in long distance runs than men at the same level. This is a nuts and bolts direct comaprison from an atheletic event where the two are on roughly equal terms. The reason for this is that the female muscular and skeletal frame isn't as heavy males and that leads to the greater amount of injuries from imapct shock from running. How are women going to hold up in a straigh nuts and bolts comparison when a 125 lbs. women has to pick up 110 lbs. worth of equipment vs. a 210 lbs. male with the same 110 lbs. of equipment, knowing the above information?
Second, Women require time to clean once every three days as per regulations. What will this mean for a patrol that goes longer than three days? Will this patrol have to be short? Will there be areas where US forces simply can not go because regulations regarding hygeine prevent it?
Third, We'll call this the rape proposition. You DUmmies have been yammering for days that women are being raped every hour of the day, and every minute of the day if their in the military. This isn't right and you know it. Our forces, and generally those of our allies, are required to abide prohibitions against rape and face punishment from their peers and service if they violate it. Our enemies are not signatories to any convention and would probably wipe their ass with it anyway. They have used torture, dismemberment, disfigurement, dismemberment, and violent murder against westerners caught by them. You can bet that if they catch a woman rape will be added to that list. Said another way, you support increasing the chances that a female service member is going to be raped. How do you square that with your equal in all things rubbish?
Fourth, What happens when a 210 lbs. male soldier becomes wounded, and only a female 125 lbs. soldier is available to get him out of harms way? My guess is that he dies.
The only good thing I will say about all of this, is that when the new Civil War starts, Uncle Sam's Army isn't going to be all that effective with it's ranks shot through with homosexuals and women in positions where they will not be able to physically be able to perform all of their jobs.
