Inside the G-Base Podcast is a conversation with Green Berets hosted by D & J. Both D & J are combat experienced Special Forces Green Berets with tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, and other locations where America's foreign policy is carried out by silent professionals. In the SF team room, all topics are on the table, from politics and religion, to geopolitical strategy, international relations, counter-terrorism, and unconventional warfare. If you ever wanted to know what America's most elite forces talk about, step into the G-Base Episode 11 - No Girls Allowed I'm going to put it right up front, forcing gender integration, Girls into Green Berets, is folly. In-fact, it has very little to do if they are capable of passing the qualifications by meeting the physicality of the school house. It has everything to do with distracting and degrading the primary function of combat arms - close with and kill the enemy. But, it is coming. The Secretary of Defense signed the order, the Generals have all embraced it, and the training pipelines are starting to see candidates. But you want to know what the men said? I hate to break it to people but there are just some genetic differences that need to be taken into consideration. Most Green Berets are men of average physicality with an exceptional mental capacity to push themselves beyond the limits of their mind and body. The females capable of succeeding at the initial phases of selection and training are no doubt incredible individuals and should be lauded for their efforts and accomplishments, but they are the extreme exception to the rule, they are not the average. This push is not rooted in the battlefield need for capability or proven effectiveness. To be clear, both D & I believe there are critical roles for women to play in special operations, I've served with fantastic and professional female soldiers, and will continue to do so. I will not treat any soldier less than professional or forego the respect they have earned and deserve. However to not openly and honestly discuss the issues and the cultural and political motivations behind these issues is also a disservice to our profession and the country we serve. We hope you hear what we are saying in this discussion. This is not from a position of sexism or anti-women, its the culmination of experience in SF and an honest assessment of what is needed to sustain and win the current fight and in wars to come. -------------------------------------------------- If you like what you hear, be sure to
