environmental hazard?

Another point not readily observable is certain anatomical difference: One gender is more prone to foreign contamination/leakage, the other to plugging. it is what it is. An old marine recon friend told of one training in swampy environment so long and so deep that he literary had growth "down there." Had he been the opposite gender, he believed he would have died from urinary tract infection sequela.

Based on UTI cases that I see here on female soldiers, who already work at a rather clean environment, I wouldn't want to see the aftermath after a few days in the swamp. Of course, any swampy-like portion can always be removed frm Ranger, SEALS, usw training...another double standard can't hurt
