I wonder why you think a bunch of politicians can tell the army how to do things when they've been refining the art of war for >2000 years. You're implying that something must change? Well, why? How does it benefit the military to change tested and tried tactics? The environment you speak of shouldn't change (well, actually it should change and armed forces the world over are learning they've relaxed standards too much to cater to gender quotas). Next, we'll be told special forces units should change their "environment" to cater to women. Not going to happen. Why should the armed forces have to change? We're talking about life and death here and you're talking about discrimination smh.
Luckily, your training will be significantly easier than it once was and you won't have lug any big bodies around, fuck you'll barely have to do push-ups anymore. Also, women won't be taken into combat and have to experience that either. Thank god! I want you to youtube 'Canadian fire fights Afghanistan'. Tell me all the women you see in those videos and ask yourself. Is this the patriarch in action or is this reality of warfare.
Good luck with your courses. I'm sure you'll cut yourself out a fine career, sincerely. If you're looking for a neat book on the CF in Afghanistan, check out Contact Charlie. I lost a friend they mention in that book and they mention the loss of Capt. Goddard (the first Canadian female lost in combat). Serious shit in 2006.
