The Truth About Women in Combat

I support the idea of women in combat. We should always be striving for equality! But achieving this ideal is going to be more difficult than and take longer than many people realize.

The problem is outlined very well in this article. But the bottom line from my perspective is that until there is one physical requirement for each job, regardless of gender, then there is no equality. One standard for all or equality for none. If a person can meet the physical standard for Infantry then let them be in infantry.
