The Australian 12 April 2011
Women are now going to be allowed to serve in combat roles as long as they meet the physical and intellectual requirements for the job, which seems reasonable, and does somewhat negate the counter-argument that they will not be physically and/intellectually capable for the job.
While this is an advance in the sexes getting along together, it doesn’t really address the bigger question of “War, what is it good for?” but then the intellectual requirements for working that one out seem beyond the human race as a whole at this point.
You’re on fire this week. Loved your ‘toon in the Merc today: Plain-packaging for pokies. Gold (or olive-green, depending on your level of colour-blindness).
Glad to see you have the good taste to be a huge fan of Kuddles like me, Brain. He is pretty bloody good but don’t tell him I said so.
… I just hope that everyone got the Frankie Goes to Hollywood moment in the comment …
