? Sorry but you're losing me. Were you part of a Howitzer team and concerned as to the target you were firing on or part of a 50 cal team giving support to the security of a fire base?
Marines lied: women in combat

A self propelled Howitzer, OK, answers most of my questions.

If people talking about combat (that may not have experienced it) bothers you this much maybe you should find a Veterans Group to set in with and try to work through any difficulties!
Old memories may never fade and some have found that they can actually become more vivid as time goes by. We worked as a team in combat in order to support each other....don't become an isolated individual...your brothers are still here and ready to help...but you have to take that pack off and reach out to them or they will never know you're there. Good luck!
I have been deployed for 10 years.(can't get a better wife than Mrs M to put up with me) Does that count? I could scan the whole 201 file if you want. When I got out in 2000 it was sent to the house with a letter that says the Army no longer is going to keep records on me. Of course that isn't so. I know because I deployed as a civilian and there wasn't anything Ft Benning didn't know.
Or State for that matter.

The US Marine Corps have compared the performance of all male combat teams vs mixed gender combat teams and the mixed gender teams had poorer performance.
Mixed-gender teams come up short in Marines' infantry experiment
All-male ground combat teams outperformed their mixed-gender counterparts in nearly every capacity during a recent infantry integration test, Marine Corps officials revealed Thursday.
Data collected during a monthslong experiment showed Marine teams with female members performed at lower overall levels, completed tasks more slowly and fired weapons with less accuracy than their all-male counterparts. In addition, female Marines sustained significantly higher injury rates and demonstrated lower levels of physical performance capacity overall, officials said.

Apparently, it was not 'nearly all' but 69%. The women had not had as much training as the men and the screening and strength improvements that experience would yield should reduce the differences further, according to marine and ex-marine senior officers here.
Officials cautioned against drawing too many conclusions from the study. Better training and screening could boost female performance, for example. "We can get better on injuries," Weinberg said. "We can get better on strength. We can get better on training."
Sherry de Vries, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, said that once women have had more experience in the infantry their performance will rise. "The women don’t have the training that men had to begin with," she said.

i.e. nothing that a few good doses of steroids can't fix ey gcthomas?
If women can't be like men, what good is a society?

Don't you think this is fixed picture? really.
In the case of steroids, probably not. Steroid abuse (in both men and women) results in such freakishness.
yack.
