[QUOTE="texan, post: 1084373, member: 38206"] [B]I have shared before my 20 plus years in the US Army, before being Blessed to be currently with UPS. I was in "Combat Units" and non combat support units. The combat units I was with was armored all male units and combat engineer unit, that was all male. The units that were mixed are signal or communication and transporation that was mixed. I was a Drill Sergeant in an Advanced Individual Training unit that had both males and female soldiers. We trained truck drivers and mechanics, which is open to both sexes. I am not a neanderthal closed minded person. I have first hand experince and I just know that I know, it is not a good move. I have often thought of Israel and their IDF that is mixed. But they in a way do not have a choice. They only have a pool of 7 million to form defence force from. To all the arm chair quarterbacks that might say I do not see a problem, that never served (I do not demean you) let us look at this thought. The Ravens and Patroits. Could thay have made it to the upcoming Superbowl if their teams, and only their teams, and not the rest of the NFL, was 35 per cent women? The NBA. Why do they have men teams and women teams? I have met and worked with the exception women. Just as Demi Moore was such an outstanding actress in G.I. Jane and portrayed the exception, it is not the norm. So no, it is not wise and like many other decisions , it is politically and progressivley motivated to pander to a small minority of advocates. [/B] [/QUOTE]
