This is exactly the kind of ignorance I'm talking about when people have no idea about combat arms. I don't care if you can bond with men or pick up and shoot an automatic weapon. That's expected.
Can you fireman carry your 200lb wounded buddy and carry your 65lb pack out of the firezone after a 24 hour firefight, all the while raining steel? If you can't, man or woman, you have no place in the infantry.
