Go figure. Telling the truth is a generational problem, apparently.

Lower performance standards and then stick women into a combat operation that they are not physically capable of pulling their own weight and for some reason you get resentment and sexual attraction. But military performance needs to take a back seat to virtue signaling and pretending. Reminds me of back in the day when I was working summers at the chemical factory. Two worst jobs in my section was unloading freight cars full of 100 pound bags of potash and putting them on pallets. The other was moving two ton potassium chloride cells and removing 40 pound oxidized copper bus bars and sanding off the oxidation so they were nice and shiny and a full electric connection was restored. The company was under a court order to hire a quota of women. None of whom could physically handle either job, but they got the same pay and so they could drive the fork truck while the males loaded the pallets in a 100 plus degree freight car sitting in the sun on a summer's day. I don't equate that to military special ops but the premise remains from that to the police to firemen to utility linemen. Equal pay for unequal work while pretending that the problem doesn't exist.

I put together 3 teams for the Hood To Coast run when I lived in Seattle. The women were great teammates. They can run faster and longer distance than their average runner male counterparts.

I worked on a fish processing boat for 6 weeks in Alaska. The women couldn't handle any of the lifting jobs and when it came to cleaning or unclogging the hold forget it. They were paid the same and couldn't handle the hard stuff. Worst job I have ever had and that includes digging ditches in grade school.

Worked part time for a small timber logging company who had contracts on government land. None of the real big stuff like Old Growth Timber. The company was run by a woman who inherited it from daddy. She loved hiring women and consistently bragged about her diversity hires. None of them could use a saw to fell trees or even work the saws when they needed sharpening. Again, paid the same amount as me.

Call me what you will but if I was young and drafted for combat, the last thing I would want is a platoon full of women who could never physically have my back when it became necessary. There are some physical things that limit effectiveness of women.
