Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. At a time when military recruitment is critically low, why would you turn away qualified people? While I have my own opinions about our military and the way they are used, if they can make the cut, then they should be able to serve. Only incompetent leadership would refuse to fully utilize all personnel and tools at their disposal.

Looks like leftist militias need to start recruiting. They might not want them but we do.

I agree, women shouldn't serve in combat roles. Now guess what I think about whether men should serve in combat roles.
