Dec. 3 -- On this date in history:
In 1818, Illinois was admitted as the 21st state in the United States.
In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio, the first truly coeducational college in the United States, opened with an enrollment of 29 men and 15 women.
In 1929, the Ford Motor Co. raised the pay of its employees from $6 to $7 a day despite the collapse of the U.S. stock market.
In 1967, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful heart transplant at Cape Town, South Africa.
In 1984, poison gas leaked at a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, in the world's worst chemical disaster. Death toll estimates varied widely.

In a combat situation, would you want to rely on a woman to have to haul your equipment-laden carcass off the battlefield? Maybe the rare woman is stronger than most men, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want those odds.

FTA:"Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEO at the time, later admitted during a congressional hearing on misinformation and social media in March last year that blocking The Post’s report was a “total mistake.”
There was NO mistake. it was a deliberate act of treason and sabotage! Yet, no one will be held accountable, not ever the person directly responsible, Vijaya Gadde!

My good buddy Vern says that because of this War Lite became a reality because no one in charge of the military knows the difference between winning and losing conflicts! Putin Winks at us!

Reducing our war fighting capabilities in areas where physical strength and stamina are important attributes. Not all military jobs require this, but many, especially in combat arms, DO require this. I know of a number of men who have had serious and permanent, lifetime back, shoulder, ankle and foot disabilities associated with their military service due to the extreme loads that infantry are required to carry over rough terrain.
Women have lower strength and stamina for carrying heavy loads under rough terrain. They will be less capable and much more frequently injured than men, who are already frequently injured.
A bad idea.
Harms the country's military capability, and will harm the women.

Look on the bright side guys when you enter special forces training it will be an easy cake walk when it's tailored for the more feminine members. Less pushups, shorter force marches along with lighter weighing rucksacks. Whoopie we're all going to die like Country Joe would sing in 1969. Putin is loving this.

Is there a military commander or supervisor in any branch of the military in any MOS who, when given a choice of a needed replacement, of the same age, rank, and experience would choose a female over a male? Didn’t think so.

If I was concerned about over population, then one of the plans I would put forth would be to enroll women (you know, the humans who can make, birth, and nurture replacement humans) in deadly roles that were traditionally held by men. I would also destroy masculinity to the point that whining is the favorite pastime of today's modern under 40 year old man. Then, I would make sure that every avenue of physical manipulation, including manipulating the DNA of humans can easily take place, by, let's say, an emergency vaccine for a world-killing virus - er, flu.
Women are so marginalized in their unique ability to bring sentient beings to life, that many are willing to render themselves sterile or kill that which they find inconvenient. That there is argument about this is simply mind boggling.

And why not?! This will help assure we keep up the tradition of losing every conflict since WWII.
