Thier body is what they make of it, women are just as capable of carrying all this equipment that you mention below as some men are.

Good for you.
Again, your judgement of women is based on stereo types.

This part of your argument makes it sound like you want to restrict women to the kitchen and take away thier voting rights, then place blacks in seperate parts of the bus, etc, etc.

This is true, even if the women are not around. The women make choices on this matter too, and sometimes, although unethical, leads to a boost in morale for both the female and male.
Its not a woman's fault that a man doesn't understand NO. This statement is not true, as this type of training is only done once per year, and does not take prescedence over combat training
This is another pointless statement that means nothing. It only shows that you are very willing to make fun of the appearance of one politician that you disagree with, without making fun of the other (Condi's death gap in her teeth).


By the way; you still have failed to respond to my arguments on VA benefits and PTSD.


Women are not capable of carrying all that weight (especially in a combat venue). Women didn't qualify for firefighter positions in the states because some of the grueling qualification tests (in certain states like Ohio) demanded that they carry a 150 pound dummy some 100 yards or so. Not one woman passed the test (and I believe there was a female wrestler there as well). Not only would they be forced to carry as much weight in a combat setting--but they would also need to be alert to dangerous surroundings. There is no time in combat to be fumbling with a makeup kit.

This isn't a matter of restricting women to the kitchen, rather it's putting qualified people into military positions that are fit, capable and emotionally in-tuned to do the job. Women fail at all three. I said earlier that I love women, afterall I had married three of them. Women should stick to what they do best. Women in combat is akin to me injecting milk into my breasts to try and feed a baby.

Again, it isn't a matter of men understanding the word 'no' when it comes to raping or groping a woman. This is the military. The objective of the military is to train young men to become warriors. Adding women to the mix naturally throws this objective into total disarray. Do I need to give you a lesson on the birds and the bees? Social experimentation is fine for a liberal/Communist anti war rally at Harvard Square, but when the defense of our country via the military is on the line--I want the most qualified men to rely on--not some hysterical emotionally inept woman.

I answered those questions you had on VA benefits and PTSD. Perhaps you didn't like my answers, or perhaps you weren't specific enough with your questions.
