I understand Paul on the issue of the physical about how men generally are stronger than women but the emotional part I am not so sure about. Yes, women generally are more emotional, but I have seen plenty of emotional men in my day as well. So, it's not like men are without emotion or strong emotion, I just think it's just more so that men are raised since being knee high to a grass hopper that they are to suppress their emotions. I am not 100% sure God did not give women what it takes to do the combat roles either. As I have said before, certain parts of the world, women have held combat roles for quite some time. In Feudal Japan for example, women tended to stay home to protect the home, they were in charge of the home and were expected to kill in order to defend home, they raised and taught the kids to become warriors, poetry, flower arranging, calligraphy and so on. I'd have to see more evidence about women not being intended for whatever by God. I know I'm not God, I would think I would be foolish to pretend I understood him as well.

I will say that my mom made it to e6 and is now a Maj. about to be a LTC. She is a MP with 2 deployments and begging for another. I don't think women should be in combat but she tries to prove me wrong.

No doubt as a e4 grunt I'd crush her on the battlefield, but she would crush me in garrison.

Those really suck. Between NOV 07 and JAN 08, I was not able to do any PT due to a knee injury I incurred playing soccer. May the knee gods be merciful to you.
