And that's the trick, finding a female who can cut the mustard in combat arms. But they
are out there -- I've worked with female soldiers I think could become good infantrymen (and two who actually wanted it and wished regs were different -- and one who wished she could become a Special Forces medic and could probably have physically and mentally managed it). I don't think the training or standards should be watered down one bit for the females to get those crossed rifles (or whatever). But those women
are out there in our military, right now, being underutilized.
And BTW, I lost count of the
men I met through my career who had no business being in Infantry.
