"It's scientifically proven that when speaking about physical attributes and excellence, a average man outshines a female."

I really must check here more often---TWO good laughs in one week!!!!!!

An "average" man or woman couldn't even get into West Point or one of the other SA's, and women have been in combat for a while now, both in the air and on the ground, regardless of any current "policy" about their official assignment (look for those policies to change as well.) I still remember my cadet telling me about women at WP who were smoking the "average" male cadet on the APFT, irregardless of whether you scored them as a man or woman. As far as WPmom bringing up the two WP cadets that fell in Iraq and Afganistan, you need to cut her some slack--your comments did more to hurt their cause and that of the other female WP'ers than any moral outrage you could stir up about her post.


" In the heat of battle a man only has 3 things: his brains, his arms, and his compassion."-----I know which one of those 3 attributes counts more in an officer as far as her troopers are concerned.

Hulk, it sounds like you have some growing up to do there, sir.
