You can’t be serious.
I'm completely serious.
In my opinion ya'll are just bitching about a fact of life in a multi-gender force. Folks have sex, women get pregnant. The insinuation seems to be that women shouldn't serve. Or maybe shouldn't serve on ships? Or maybe shouldn't serve in combat roles? Or maybe shouldn't serve in front-line combat roles? Not sure, few of you will actually state, with detail, your vision of women in the military. You're all just picking at the edges - "women are different than men", "progressives just want equality at any cost", "pregnancy on a ship has a taxpayer cost"...
Well, pardon my French, but no shit! Quit beating around the bush and tell us part 2 of your point - you have a complaint, now what do we do about it?
Because if the insinuation is that women shouldn't serve on ships, I'd like to know how you intend to replace the 24+ THOUSAND
non-pregnant women serving on ships as we speak (2015 numbers). Or at the very least, the metrics that lead to your belief that women serving on ships is a net
negative to the force.
That's what I'm getting at about a meaningful comment. Just stating that something has a cost is not meaningful.
