Of course nobody will address the elephant in the room that women really shouldn't be first responders or, at the very least, not for situations that might require physical confrontations.
I would tend to agree, in many cases they do not react well to stress and injury. Not that many men don't either, however per capita there is a difference.
Absolutely correct. And then of those cool and collected women under pressure, can also wear 100 lbs of gear and drag a 200lb guy wearing 100lbs of gear to cover after walking 5 miles in the desert? the number is greater than zero I will admit but barely. I'm addressing of course the women in the infantry thing. that's only looking at technical ability however. It's also a known fact that womens hips do not respond well to heavy loads over time and you can expect female infantry to med-board out at a much quicker rate and require VA disability at a higher level. and that isn't taking into account the male psyche and how a squads effectiveness is going to be if they have one female member. Are they going to truly think and treat her like a guy? or are they going to be protective? thus opening them up to bad decision making and manipulation by the enemy? sorry. ranting.
