Maintain the Ground Combat Exclusion Rule and keep Women out of Combat

Created by D.P. on February 19, 2013

Under no circumstances should women be authorized to enter combat positions. What's more important; fairness or combat effectiveness?
How are we going to retain the trust and confidence of the American people when we are lowering our combat effectiveness? Does it take more men and women to die in real combat for our administration to realize it made a mistake? I've heard time and time again females have been in combat for twelve years now and 152 women in uniform have died serving this nation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Women are not maneuvering on the enemy quite as often as our media has portrayed, that's the infantry's job. By the way, this is not WWII, it is Iraq and Afghanistan. We are performing counterinsurgency operations, not fighting the Axis nations.
