[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US did not become one of the strongest military powers because of affirmative action.

I want our military to be strong and ready.  I want to know that if my son needs assistance in the field, there will be someone there who has his back and has the strength, the will, and the  training to do what needs to be done.  
If women can compete ON THE SAME LEVEL AS MEN, fine.  Then, they can serve where they are needed.  
Different standards for gender should not ever even be considered.  [/quote]

Agreed to all the above. There  are intangibles though that no one wants to talk about. I'm betting a male marine would find any woman fierce enough to pull him off a battle field about as attractive and love worthy as a woman could be . I'm guessing the reverse might prove true. Yes, I'm being tongue in cheek so don't freak out, but camaraderie and unit cohesion matter. We are talking about 18,19 year olds under fire in some cases - not wine swilling sophisticates opining from arm chairs. If the Marines say it would change them into something different than the marine corps we know I think we need to weigh that. I am.more inclined to all male or all female units with some exceptions when you are talking about infantry, camping, working and sleeping together in close quarters under fire. [/quote]
