While I believe personally that women could contribute something to SF, I also know that there are FEW that could make it throught the selection.
No, they really couldn't.

"Making it through selection" is not the hard part of being SF. Selection is a continuous and constant process. One does not "make it through" - one does it every waking moment.

Unless you have been on a Team, you can't begin to understand how close Teammates are.

And for the record, I was in several units with females in them, in every single one, every one - there were problems. No, the females did not cause all the problems nor am I blaming them. But it is an indisputable fact. Your own post is evidence.

There are great women in the military and many of them do a fantastic job at what they do. They have no business in SF.

We pass around mags and frags, not Teammates.
