Women must be allowed in combat roles because they can be strong

I haven't been able to comprehend the nonsense coming out of crazies who have been arguing that women should not be allowed on the front lines.  Even Major Judith Webb, the first woman to lead an all-male field force in the United Kingdom, said that, "Women are not fit enough to fight on the front line."  Just tell that to Staff Sgt. Stacy Pearsall, who was decorated for her actions in Iraq, because as she told The New York Times, "Yes, and I already have."  Look, we all got tired of this crap in the past when it referred to gays.  If we want to be a truly merit based society, as long as a woman can meet the same physical standards as a guy, what difference does it make that her underwear is different.
