Well girls you got what you wanted...

After a while, I feel that others "concerns" are merely code words for "I do not support this because <insert a circular logic problem>"

Oh, can it. My "concerns" are actually fucking concerns. Instead of digging for reasons to have your sensibilities offended, try taking a step back and realizing that I never said I do not support women in combat positions. Every single time you and I disagree and it boils down to this kind of rhetoric it is because of shit like this. It gets old, Syn. I simply am concerned. It is really that easy. What other reason could I possibly have? Do you see me as someone whose sensibilities would be affected by women in the military? Do you think I'm sexist? If no to either, what other fucking reason could I possibly fucking have other than concern?

I'm the teensiest bit sorry to go off, but it really is annoying. Can't I just think the idea of women being raped by their comrades in combat scary or do I have to be a fucking bad guy to possibly show the least bit of concern over something?

Might I remind others here that Blacks in the Military suffered tremendous crimes done to them during the processes of integration?

I was thinking of that, too. Or, in my case, I was thinking of the extreme hostility black pioneers had to make across the board to make progress. Jackie Robinson, for example, faced some pretty harsh hate when he took the field, especially when he went to games in places like Atlanta. But had he been unwilling to face that kind of hate, professional sports would have kept black people locked out of itself even longer.

Yeah, and had we been willing to fix the problem first, people wouldn't have gotten fucking hurt.
