If a woman gets pregnant while an active infantryman, they would have to immediately be pulled from the field, immediately weakening the force. That is a liability.[/quote]
FACT: My sister was active duty and set to go to Iraq when she found out she was pregnant. They ordered the maternity clothes for her, but she was still scheduled to go. She went for her physical and they found an infection for her gall bladder. Had it not been for that, she would still go.
Lets put a rest to this whole male vs female thing. I'm an out of shape computer guy. I could beat her ass. Case closed.

The average woman is not some petite, frail, little thing.
You just don't get it. Even the average woman will not be able to do it, it would take an extraordinary woman to be able to perform Infantry functions at a successful level. Like I said, far less than 1% of all women world wide would be capable.
Wouldn't you just shit your pants when some females do it better than any guy? :grin:
There will be a very small few women that will be able to do it. I would guess that the chances of there ever being a woman who can do it better than any man is 1 in a number way past a trillion. The problem is, they are going to make sure that the first group of women pass, if they deserve to or not, due to stupid politically correct military politics bullshit. The other problem is, there will be far more who are not capable trying to do it than there will be those that are capable. And if even one of those who is not capable manages to get through the training, that is a liability.

Sure now that you're pregnant.... I've never lost a fight.

And she probably would have failed at it.

You call it ignorance, the rest of the world calls it reality.

My money is on Joe
When I'm done with her I'm gonna lock her in my oven WHERE SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'm only 7 weeks. There is no reason I can't throw down now. I might puke on you, but suck it up buttercup. I wrestle with Jim all of the time. He will tell that I am one tough bitch.

Somehow, I highly doubt that. She's always been damn tough and she loved the whole scene. Had she stay active, she would have moved up the ranks damn quick.
