Women in combat

The best of the six.

5. In the Israel Defense Forces it was stated that their reason for removing female soldiers from the front lines was due less to the performance of female soldiers, and more due to the behavior of the male infantrymen after witnessing a woman wounded or killed.  The IDF saw a complete loss of control over soldiers who apparently had an uncontrollable, protective, instinctual aggression, severely degrading the unit’s combat effectiveness.  Maybe this was a result of the men being raised to be gentlemen and to respect ladies.  Should this be changed?

==============================

It sounds like our government has made the decision that women should serve in combat and it has become politically correct to fully support this and very politically incorrect to even question the validity of this decision.

I discovered very early in life that there is a difference between us males and females, and I really liked the difference…as the French would say, “Viva the difference.”  That difference spills over into the military, but we are now asked to ignore that difference and fully support the decision to allow women to serve in combat.  Perhaps before we accept that completely we should make note of some clear and concise reasons why this might not be such a good idea.

Here are some of the augments that maybe this isn’t such a great idea after all:
