I think this is a topic that should be in the digital social bickering sphere. The General is pretty neutral and deflective with most of his answers but one thing is clear, he believes the US military (and by consequence the free wests militaries)  should be at its most lethal and strong, basically implying there should be no weak links.

What is your stance on this, after understanding all sides of the issue? I once again rely on you to alleviate some cognitive dissonance on my part. Right now, I think the world is no shape to continue with adding "diversity and social justice" to the military. I'm all for women in the miltary in the right places, for example piloting aircraft if shown the proper ability, on the sea and on base but not in the battlefield or on strategic operations on the ground. Gays are all good in my book in this sector and there should be no issue but Transgender people? No. Even if they pass all trials and training and aren't outed on the medical they are a target for bullying and a sure weak link.

 

One thing is for sure though. The bar for entry should never be lowered for women, phyically or mentally and never should they be on the ground in warfare. Thankfully, war has changed. War is no longer an open battlefeild. Perhaps women hold a place in the modern frontline, can you make a factual and convincing arguement for this?

 

Yup. That's all folks.
