Hi s2a, I would like to apologize for those who try to change the natural role of women into the unnatural role of men.
You are, unnaturally, excused for the moment...
Initially, first and foremost, if you are indeed a representative of our volunteer uniformed services, I thank you both personally, and as member of a grateful nation.As of July 27th, all four women whove attempted to pass the Marine Corps Infantry Officer Course have failed (and I can only assume that these four were "elite" women, not just ordinary women). Most men would fail these elite special forces requirements, but now the agenda driven political wing wants to change the requirements so that lesser men and women can qualify (all in a purposeful effort to weaken our nation). Here is a quote from a former Marine Force Recon commander, who states very well what will happen if the standards are lowered so that the "weaker vessel" can qualify:

Allow us now to recall the more specific nature of the mission tasks opened to women in military/uniform service, especially as it may apply to combat forward operations.
Just like "you" (whom may have been tasked to serve in combat,or not), all assignments in this role are qualified upon capacities within specialized qualifications.
No man, nor woman, will be tasked to serve in combat operations unless they are uniquely prepared and qualified to serve in that task, mission, and situation. Correct?
Volunteerism in military service is no less vital or honorable in whatever the mission demands, or am I wrong here?
Your anecdotal example provided may reflect an career inspired and open-minded assessment of women who willingly volunteer in combat situations, or it may just reflect a caveman's attitude that all women should remain pregnant and barefoot at home under any and all circumstances, and well, some will always think that way.
I am not qualified to designate that individual Marine you quote as being extraordinarily enlightened, nor as simply stone stupid...but remain advised and thoughtful that ANY women that willingly volunteers to serve at the front in combat alongside any man will always receive my equal respect, admiration, and gratitude for their service and sacrifice as any you might also put forth.
