Unpopular opinion: women shouldn't be in the military

In principle, I have no problem with women in the military so long as they're held to the same standards as anyone else. Anyone who lacks the discipline, integrity, and uniformity to adhere to those standards has no business being there...

The problem however, is that the issue has been politicized (just like with queers and trannies). In which case, it's no longer about serving, but about virtue signaling. Lowering the standards just so a few narcissists can feel good about themselves.

I served during the last remnants of the "old army"; the be all you can be days, dadt; no women in combat mos's and anyone caught being queer got a blanket party and/or dishonorable discharge; there was none of this perceived racism they talk about nonstop these days; there were no whites, blacks, browns, yellows, etc. only Army green. And that's the way it should be.

Any uniqueness of a particular soldier was based solely on his competence in his skillset and merit, not on their race, gender, or orientation. Awards weren't handed out to people who didn't earn it; and there was no silly "combat action badge" for pogs.

The freaks, fairies, soyboys, feminists, etc. today wouldn't even the survive the basic training I went through in my day... let alone any of the other 11b asi's (Ranger, Airborne, Air Assault, NWT, Sniper, SF, etc.)
