The drafting of women: what say you?

No, but if you think I only worked with SOCOM people, then you don't understand how the military works. By November 3rd, there were women with us in Grenada. No, they weren't running patrols with us grunts, they weren't in any way a part of the 82nd Airborne's POW camp that they set up beside us. But they were there doing support stuff for the rest of us, and they were shot at, and they reacted just fine.

You can believe whatever you want to believe, but I've been in combat and worked with many fine women. That they weren't assigned to combat units doesn't mean they didn't at least get a glimpse of combat, and there were no problems whatsoever. Well, one woman got sandburn on her knees from giving one of the guys in my unit a blowjob on the beach, but we just thought that was funny. It didn't affect her competence on the job.
Bongulator,

Thank you for your service. I'm with you on this one. SGT Hester did pretty good under fire:

11 years active and reserve here, and I feel that a woman should be allowed any job she is mentally and physically able to perform.
