Women in Combat

Somehow certain people STILL don't understand what the rigors of Combat and Leadership are actually about.

To wit: Women can be Marine Infantry Officers. All You Have to do is Change the Standards.

No, you CANNOT change the standards.  They are there for a REASON.  And if you do not and cannot understand that reason, you have no business trying to change those standards in the first place.

To certain people this is more about "Equality" than it is about surviving and leading troops in combat.

GET THIS THROUGH YOUR MYOPIC EYES!!

COMBAT AND LEADING TROOPS IN COMBAT HAS IT'S OWN STANDARDS!!

If you FAIL to meet those standards your troops D-I-E!

If your troops are dying, you are not accomplishing the mission.  If you fail the mission, the security of our entire Nation can be at stake.

However, you don't really care about that.

You only care about your "Equality" and room for "Advancement"

And while you are fighting for those, our troops are watching this mess, and their well being is at stake.  Both through their morale and their readiness levels.

THAT is what you SHOULD be concerned about.

I disagree. Many of the people you describe care a great deal about troops dying and the potential jeopardy our nation faces.

They just see these things as "features, not bugs."
