Women have proven themselves in military combat roles. They deserve to stay.

I’m lucky to work for a really strong woman who served as a paratrooper and officer, deployed truck companies to combat multiple times, and who worked directly for the secretary of defense. I was honored when she asked me for feedback on her op-ed advocating for the women currently serving in combat roles, which the current secretary of defense is trying to end, and I think she did an amazing job writing it.

    I am retired military but I was Navy and had an office job for most of my career. I am in awe of these ladies and so proud of them.

    They already kicked trans women out. Pretty sure they’re going to do whatever they want.

    First it will be removing all women from ground combat roles. Then it will be removing them from the pilot seat of fighter jets. Then it will be a removal from all pilot positions. Then it will be the removal of all leadership positions. Then it will be a medical discharge of any woman who becomes pregnant. Then it will be no women allowed, at all.

    There’s nothing physiologically impossible for women in any military job, school, selection, etc. to include the long walk. I’ve never met anyone impressive against women in the military, it’s always the guys who did 3 years back in 1982 in some boring job.

    It is not about effectiveness. They also know gay or trans soldiers are just as good. It is about cishet men supremacy.
