Because of senior officers instead of standing up and saying this is stupid to changes that were bad for the military rolled over and showed their bellies.

It’s not even close to that anymore.

You guys can gripe all you want, but the logistics of the modern force require some SOF to be female, and that’s not going to change in your lifetime.

There are zero reasons we need women in combat arms (excluding the SMU's who have an entirely different mision).

The military has to find a way to make this work.

The military will be fine until we get into a real war with a near peer opponent. It will hit the fan then.

There’s no other choices.
