No doubt. I think they may be equals. My point is not about the females, but about 40 year old privates.

Then why mention the gender on the 20 year old?

You are an infrantry commander. Which would you rather have in your company, a 40 year old male private or a 20 year old girl, when the enemy is coming in a human wave attack?

A 50 ton robot.

Well, the point seems to have been made that a 40 year old man is at least as good, on the average, as a 20 year old girl when the going gets tough. Thus the army is not getting itself into further do do by raising the minimum age for joining.

If anybody were actually arguing against this measure, that would be nicely done.

I'm sure a lot of 40 years olds willing to join up would be pretty lame.

I assure you a lot of ther 18 year olds are pretty lame too. A few people who were like me who just wanted free college and a chance to travel a bit and a whole lot of poor white/black trash from small towns who had no other idea what to do with there lives. Most of them were not college material.

and thus we see the maturity with which women in the military are always treated

Signing bunus raised to $20,000 and $70,000 for college.

Almost as much as in Payback $70,000 - what a human life is worth.

I wonder how they've been managing without us older guys? I mean, who has been helping change the younger guys diapers?

The girl. I would tell her to give me her gun and that she should stay in the trench and start to remove her clothes. Then I would jump out of the trench with both guns blazing and mow down the onslaught. Afterwards I would return to the trench for my reward...
