You're so worried about women not being able to do the "infantry" job but apparently you didn't hear or process that no woman will be accessed into combat ranks if they can't do the job--if you watched the presser, you heard that from both Panetta and Dempsey.
You know, three out of four applicants to the Armed Services (regardless of gender) can't "do the job." That's why they aren't accessed.
Bottom line--if an individual can do the job, in the infantry, in the cockpit, in the submarine, they should be permitted to do the job. Gender is not a barrier. And you should be "wincing" just as much when our sons and brothers get thrown into that meatgrinder -- anything else is pure sexism.
You're getting mad at me for noticing that you're playing a chauvinist game, here, while you double down with chauvinist invective.
I'm not "painting" you with anything--your very own words are doing the painting for you. You're also making some amusing assumptions, but I'll let you roll on with them.
When we put women in ships, I heard this same sort of horseshit. I can smell it a mile away.
