Having served in the Armed Forces of the US I have no objection to woman as "camp followers" but my own experiences force me to conclude that enlisting women in organizations meant to project force of arms is an abysmal failure and has had extremely deleterious effect on the capacity to impose our national will upon the our foes.

I confess to being somewhat mystified about interjection of the Swiss militia as some sort of exemplar when as I've stated it is clearly fits the definition of a bigoted and hateful organization by your own recent accounts as to the criteria for designation as such.
