Reply:"There is no penalty if you choose not to respond."





Why would you even put this on your question? Even if there WERE a penalty, how would it be enforced? Since it cannot be, what value does this statement have?





In any case, what is the purpose of such a "poll"? This is more about women's role in the military and much less about unit cohesion.





The first half deals with personal information, with the intent to segregate answers by category, I assume.





The other half deals with women in the military. Plain and simple, women do not belong in front line (all male) units of any kind at any time, but can serve in all other support and service support functions.





Furthermore, women and men are not equal in ability or the same in physiology and psychology, and should not be considered interchangeable. We absolutely must consider gender when assigning personnel, as this has a bearing on how each person might perform and affect the rest of the unit.





I hope, providing this survey is even real, that you come to the conclusion that men and women are different, should be different, and that it is these differences that make us who we are.





...ah, yes, and you're welcome.
Reply:What kind of penalty would there be if there WAS a penalty for not responding. How would you know who did NOT respond any way? YOU'RE IN COLLEGE?
