Personal attacks aside
If asking you to justify your beliefs, or at least answer a question about them, is a PA, we're already far down the rabbit hole. Does the idea of it make you uncomfortable, Nikov? Could it be you can't see or think your way past your gut feeling, to actually consider how a woman who wants to serve feels? No guy should be comfortable considering this stuff, but our comfort level a) isn't what's important ethically and b) is what's interfering rationally.
Again, if every female checked on their enlistment papers "You will be specifically targeted by the enemy in the field and may be subjected to sexual assault and mutilation. Do you understand?" before they came on,
what then? Would you tell a man you're too worried about what might happen to them to let them serve? No, of course you wouldn't. You could find 100 other reasons they couldn't serve, but you wouldn't deny them just because the idea of them suffering makes you
squeamish. That'd be insulting that recruit's commitment. Is it ok to treat a woman's commitment that way?
It seems hardly absurd to point out a nation in such a position would have reason to train and mobilize all possible combat power, but as the US does not face such wars of annihilation, we can afford to not mobilize combat power which would be targeted for specific excesses and cruelties.
Ironic how quickly we go from being under threat from every quarter, just like Israel, needing to spend billions and adapt into "modern war fighters", to being so comfortable we get to pick and choose which military cleaves best to tradition. For all the threat Israel faces, they still have normal lives. They're both integrated and functional.
On the flip side too, we can "afford" to allow women the full control of their abilities and their futures because we're a democracy. Nothing would make me prouder than watching American men and women serve side-by-side as equals.
Or as Strife put it "Starship Troopers" levels of forgetting that men have one set of genitals and women have another when it matters.
