I am ex-military.
Before my army time I said:
"Women in the military? Hell why not?"
After my service I said:
"Women in the military? Hell no!"
(
Of course, combat-unit related, not generally)
Once you've seen a woman desperately trying and trying to just load an assault rifle (HK G3A3) you quickly change your mind from
"Let's all run around with flowers in our hair!" to
"Never change a running system!"
When you see them collapsing to the ground in pain, being unable to run a few miles due to
monthly circumstances, you start to imagine
"What if..."
Women in combat units? No thanks!
Women in the military? Of course, no question about that.
