What do these women think about women serving in combat?

8. We all learned that there is something much bigger than us

something that makes our individual lives seem tiny by comparison. We all went through that experience (women and men) from boot camp, through AIT and finally our first and next and last duty stations. It was large and always there in the room; that we had decided to take on the role of maintaining peace at the cost of life. It is so unbelievably disrespectful, imo, to diminish women in that role and cast them aside over age old sexist beliefs. There can be nothing more serious than that duty and to muck it up with Rushisms is grotesque.

I cringe when I see it, the old holdover values that were the same that kept a segregated Army.

We can no longer pretend to be ignorant of these truths - all people are created equal and must be treated fairly under that accord. Pretending one sex can kill better than the other is a horrible throwback, same as pretending one can defend better.

We are the apex predator on this planet and there is a reason for it. No one should deceive themselves into believing either sex is inferior when it comes to killing and protecting.

The sexism in the military needs to GO.

NOW.
