Quote from RCG Trader:
Having graduated at Benning, my visceral side agrees with you. I flinched with the gay lifting too, but I knew that was just conditioning on my part. Things are changing CO. There is no turning back. Someday soon, women will be in the 3rd Infantry. I had a convo with a drill back in 99 about this very thing. There is no getting around it.
In this nation, the civilians control the military. For better of for worse, you don't have to like it, but it is what it is.
Well my fighting days are over so it makes me no never mind on a personal level, but I don't see this coming together in the way that some people hope it will. I guess my take on it is, be careful what you wish for. These ladies are in for a rude awakening when the shit hits the fan. They will find that fighting and dying for God, country and moms apple pie ain't all it's cracked up to be, but I'm just a old jaded Vet who just doesn't buy the company line anymore.
