>>Which positon can't women have in the military? For sure they can have any rank. But I've heard that they can't be "front line". Does they mean they can be fighter pilots, bomber pilots, chopper pilots marines, infantry, sailors, tank commanders as long as they are right in the front cusp of battle? What defines the front line vs other forward positions?

>You ever see the movie with Demi Moore where she is supposedly the first female Navy Seal? That's the kind of stuff they can't be in. I don't think a woman is physically capable of this kind of service. As for that matter, most men wash out of the special ops units. Women are more than capable in other areas though.

>Guess what, men and women aren't the same. They both have their weaknesses and strengths and the military makes the best use of each.

I'm sure that wasn't meant to be as sexist as it comes across. If it really came down to competence I think there would be a lot more female generals and an equal number of grunts.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked John B. Which branch of the service were you in and what unit?
