Would you mind providing a few examples?Parker wrote:
@ turq:
its not that i feel strongly about the matter. its me defending myself because he is basically calling me sexist.
now dont get me wrong here, i am a lot of things, but being raised by a single mother leaves very little room in my principles to be sexist.
what it comes down to is this:
combat is an extremely stressful situation for all involved. things that are added to the situation, in this case a female soldier IN A COMBAT ROLE, only help to complicate matters.
why fix what isnt broke?
why relearn a lesson that was learned so long ago?
why complicate something that lives are at stake over, just so everyone feels like they are equal?
THAT gives me "stereotypical" "unrealistic" views...thats fine, he doesnt seem like he wants to address the issue, and i have made my point three times over in this thread.

It is a moot point. Women serve in the 'infantry' when they are needed. 6 pages?
*edit... It would have to be 'bad' for those pressing them. Your fighting force is now reduced to women and children. You've lost your males... .
