No, it is not clear. As a former drill instructor, I completely disagree.

Every soldier has to pull through the same crap. Can't make it? Bummer, get back to your ki... last job then!

All soldiers would pull through same crap but the physical load pace , at least at the beginning might need to be a bit slower.
Things could still be nasty enough.

Ah, Beast Master!

I wouldn't have a problem with GI Jane in my foxhole. I had female drills in A school and I wouldn't sell them short, especially when they can murder you during morning PT.

Same for the girls in the company.
As for the Marines, I think that duty should be mostly all male. Females welcome if they can meet the same standards. Any exception puts people at risk.

Who wouldn't mind a female marine in your foxhole during war, far away from home, impending death possible.......if you and a male marine finally ran out of bullets, not much you can do, a female in the hole, least you can pass the time until you're captured.

Yeah, I want my Marines worried about ... protecting little miss can't hump her own sack, than facing and defeating an enemy.

This is not a call of duty game.

Edit...No marine gives up, they won't whimper in a hole, they go out dying. Your whole horny fantasy is moot. Maybe the Chair force can quench your desires.

(them guys get laid)

You got a point there Soop. The Marine or Soldier busy shtupping his girlfriend in a foxhole is not keeping an eye out for the approach of death.

Battlefields are no place for love.

Guys, keep it clean, ok?

Man, so much disrespect for women. Can't you discuss this without demeaning half the human race?

See, this is a good argument.

This is a little risque, but still in fairly good taste...

Uh, whoa.

Not demeaning anyone, but if you cannot pull your own weight then sit in the rear with the gear.

I also fear the reactions of scared teenagers low 20s... in a hole, worried more about a toss, than meeting and killing an enemy.

Do you know the average age of infantry? Do you remember how you were at that age?

If the girl can pass, then let her in, but most cannot. Even before pullup restrictions were removed, women had to do vastly less in the PT tests.

My reaction to this issue is not Mysogyny, but Biology.
Men are more suited for physical things, sorry. It is what it is. I am not a woman hater. I just want the integrity of our forces uncompromised.

Pass the goddamn physical restrictions or STFU.

Every Marine is a riflemen, unless your a chick, and cannot lug her own sack, and got pushed through to satisfy political correctness.

Yeah, way to up combat efficiency.
