It isn’t just about cost. Making the force weaker means we will lose battles. This isn’t so bad if it is a battle we don’t need to win (but this questions why we are fighting in the first place). But armies and navies exist to fight the battles we have to win. In those kinds of battles historically a 10% or 20% swing in fighting effectiveness can mean everything. We had to be successful on the beaches of Normandy, just as we had to be successful at Midway and at Leyte Gulf. There were also times in Korea where we were close to being routed.

There is another reason we should oppose women in combat, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen seriously argued. The reason this is so important for women isn’t because they (as a group) really wish they could join up and have the fun of being shot at. It is about making sure there is no such thing as manly pride. The military is the last institution where men are called upon to do something special, something women aren’t called to do. It is all about making sure there is no male honor in serving in the military. This is why the issue drives them crazy. Men are being men, with no women around to tell them she is just as good as they are. If women are able to achieve their goal here the military will become just another government job, another pink ghetto.

And of course, when that battle comes which we must win, we won’t. I won’t guess when that battle will come, but it will come one day.
