Capt. Katie Petronio makes a very strong case against it.
My favorite part of the article:
No one questions why there aren’t any females in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc. Olympic athletes are the elite of the elite. No one questions why the women compete against women and men against men. Those are great sports and achievements. But lives and missions aren’t on the line. In our world, if you move slower one day, you don’t get bumped off the medal stand, you could die or get someone else killed.
No question about it. This isn’t about Title IX, or equal job/equal pay. War is not a sporting event.
The late Col. David Hackworth once said, “War is hell…real combat is a motherf***er!”
This is no place to be screwing around with some stupid “gender equity” experiment.
i would imagine that the women who push for this stuff are never satisfied or content with anything, and it wouldn’t even matter if they got it b/c they still wouldn’t be satisfied or content. and their first layer of discontent is the fact that they are, and were created as, a woman, a female.
i would hate to live my life fighting for something that would never be fulfilling.
