not allow any modification to the current ban on women in front line ground combat Military Occupational Specialties.

Keep in place a ban on women serving in ground combat MOS's. Whenever a push has been made to include women into certain areas of the military, exceptions and "modifications" are made to the normal standards to demonstrate that the services are complying with the new program. This has ALWAYS resulted in death, serious injury and/or loss of multi-million dollar equipment. Currently, women routinely have lower standards to meet than males just for basic military service. There are stricter, higher standards of performance that front line combat personnel must meet as well. Lowering these additional standards to allow the number of women desired to qualify for combat duty will inherently break down unit cohesion and weaken the defenses of this nation.
