The point is, women do not have the same strength as men. They're made to support man, just as man is made to support woman. Women are very strong individuals, but their strengths are different than a man's strength. That is why a male skeleton is bigger than a female's, as well as the pelvic bone on a female is wider while a pelvic bone on a male is more narrow. The female's pelvic area is meant to carry a baby, the male is meant to carry great physical strength.
In WWII, or around that time is when females were joined into the U.S. Armed Forces to fight along side the males. The reason, they needed more men to fight the in the front lines, but they also needed those rear support lines to be filled. All jobs are important, just like every member of the body is important [whether you're speaking of your own, or the body of the church]. Females were Red Cross nurses, which I believe the Red Cross hospitals were often not too far away from the front lines. Females make excellent combat medics and military police officers. But combat infantry units and the like that are traditionally male should stay all male. It is a brotherhood. No man wants to fight alongside his sister because he will subconsciously worry more for her than his brother. Don't make him choose. Plus, keep it a brotherhood, because sometimes males just have to hang with the guys just like females have to relax and chit chat with the girls. Somehow, society makes it ok for a girl to join a boys' group, but a boy can't join a girls' group. That's a double standard if you ask me.
Not to mention I did my basic training back in 2000 at Fort Sill when they allowed females for a short time. What happened you might ask to make them go back to all males? Simple answer, some females ruin it for the others and just cause way too many issues. Just saying, ....

I 100% wholeheartedly agree! Equal is equal, not equal with stipulations.

I believe that if females are accepted for combat roles, then they need to be called to serve just like their male counterpart. There is no monopoly on dying in a war. Bullets and explosives do not care about someone's gender. Being drafted is part of preparing for war. Perhaps by including females, our leaders will think twice before committing armed forces to serve a political agenda.

Females have proven themselves as vital soldiers and are expected to carry their own weight. If they cannot, they have no business in the armed forces. Let them wash out as the males do.
