The men I know who have been in combat have absolutely no interest in being led by a woman when the ***** hits the fan.

These guys, particularly Rangers/SEALs/etc are generally ALL Alpha males.  For better or worse, that does make a difference in how they react to a female in a leadership position (particularly in a combat situation).

This girl who made it through the school will flame out soon enough and this whole thing will blow over, until the next time it comes up

+1... the first woman to lead the ACC F-16 Viper team was removed from her position Monday after two weeks on the job. Men and woman are different... to pretend otherwise is what Disney does.

The guys I know were discussing this on line recently.  None of them cared at all, IF the commander was competent.

Now,  maybe they are just saying that on line and would feel differently in reality.  These are all enlisted infantry Marines who saw combat in Iraq, about ten weighed in, so there were 25 or so who didn't comment.  The emphasis was on competence.

I personally would not care, based on my own life experience with male and female leaders.  I'd far rather have a semi-competent female director than a half assed male director, or one who was truly damaging.

How many competent female directors did you have?

I ask because I've had some level of female boss almost my whole career.......it's been a crapshoot, have had 1 very good one, several competent ones and several that were just disasters.

Those men who cite "competence" know women aren't competent to lead men in combat. The DoD has the data that shows females in combat are a liability. Again, parroting the feminist trope that women can do anything men can do is silly nonsense and dangerous.

I agree, but there are exceptions.

We aren't talking about an office environment where men aren't allowed to be men. Once a female experiences the primal aggression that comes with direct combat, even in training, they cannot lead. Men are men. Women are not men.

Trying to compare a 1940s Soviet woman to a modern day American woman is like comparing apples to T bone steaks...they have absolute nothing in common aside from sharing a singular characteristic

Do better.

Saying that ALL women, without exception, are INCAPABLE of performing well in combat is akin to saying that ALL men, without exception, will perform well in combat.

Who used the word “incapable”?

Donâ€t move the goalposts just because you tried to make a nonsensical argument about a Soviet sniper

I thought it odd comparing a sniper to close quarter combat odd.

Snipers do not go door to door...
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

I'm not moving anything.  Some women can perform well in combat.  You're obviously free to disagree.
