Wow.
I love the analogy of the couple being attacked after dark.
And I must say – only once has my husband said “I would follow that [person] anywhere”.
And that person – was a Man.
Well, being a woman in the military I take great offense to what he has said. My husband is certainly not a wimp. He has asthma and therefore is not allowed to join the military, or he would. We do what works for our family. My being in the Guard has given a lot of benefits to our family and it allowed me to get my Master’s degree.
He’s not talking about women in the military. He’s talking about women leading men into combat and men and women in co-ed combat roles.
I’m stopping by on my way to a meeting – I know I’ll be back to read the rest of this! I came from a military family as well.
Have a great Thursday!
So is he saying then, it’s ok for women to be in the military but not in a leadership role?
He didn’t say that, either. He said that it’s not okay for women to lead men into combat nor to be in a co-ed combat situation. That is the only thing I’m seeing him address in this article.
As a wife to a soldier, I agree with what he says and honestly I know this may sound harsh, but I don’t care if another woman is offended. There are roles that GOD gave us and going into combat is NOT one of them. He did not by nature make us warriors, he made us care givers. I also think it should not be allowed to have dual military couples WITH children (child less…fine with me, but once that baby comes into the picture Momma needs to get out). My husband’s had female commanders, who I like…doesn’t change my beliefs that it’s not the proper role.
