Women in combat arms? Infantry, Armor, ...

[Tgace]

As long as they carry the M240 on road marches, qualify with all weapons, and can pass the APFT to an InfantryMAN's standard, let em in!

And that's the rub...back in my day the females were able to drop out of the 25 mile combat "hump" and still pass basic...and their PT standard was less than the males.

If we can accept the fact that...for both societal and biological reasons...that fewer woman than men will be able to meet the standard than fine. If you can prove youre fit to do the job, you should be allowed to do the job. But forcing females through the system and into the field of combat does nobody any service. Combat is not about "fairness" or social justice.
