The flaw is not in military training. It's in human nature.
And, actually, it's not a flaw. It's working as designed.
I believe that women can handle numerous roles in the military. I believe that men definitely, on the average, have physical advantages over women that are pertinent to many military assignments.
Yet overall I believe that men and women working in close quarters, especially in many combat situations, will increase the risk of failure.
I don't care how politically incorrect this sounds, especially when coming from a woman. That's the way I see it.
