Women to fight in America's elite military units

imo this is dumb as hell.  If I get shot and can't move back to safety, a woman would have to carry 80 pounds of gear on her back, 80 pounds of gear on my back, and my 160 pound body, totaling for a whopping 320 pounds.  How can you rely on a woman to carry 320 pounds 50 or even 100 yards?

that's just one scenario that i'm thinking of, there are dozens that could be thought up where a woman can't really help.

obviously there will be rare exceptions, but i'm talking about the average woman.

in case you didn't realize
elite units are not average people

You realize that women will have to be just as good to get into an elite unit. It isn't like they are going to fill quotas up in the delta force.

Yes I understand that but I'm also talking your average infantry

I feel like there will be very few women who can actually join the SEALs of the Rangers, this is mostly a P.R. stunt

Okay.

It just takes one stupid bitch calling loveism to get a quota set up.

I honestly dont give a forget. If a woman has what it takes to join the army then they should!

I'm just going to leave this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq_iiDsC-nA

Watch them get captured and compromise everything while being tortured

That's not how it works. You don't put monkeys into PR jobs because they're the only ones employable and there's a quota. The military has set requirements for things like these. If a woman is physically apt and able to join these units, there's absolutely no problem with it. Just a whole stuff-ton of ridiculous loveist opinions on 'womens am not as strong as mens'.
