back at ya.
As much as I'm for equality between the sexes, you've got to be realistic about this. Men are physically stronger than women.
It would not only be unfair, but dangerous to have someone who couldn't pull their weight. If you need a box of ammo NOW, you don't want to wait around till they've found someone who could help them lift it off the truck.
This is why it is up to the individual woman.
There'll be those, a minority, who I'm sure would be more than capable to perform their duties, and others, while willing to serve in this capacity, would be unsuitable for the job.

Can I get a copy of that program? My husbands version doesn't seem to be working properly.
