This clearly points out a niche for women in the military. Having been to the mall with my wife, I know that women are much better suited than men to endure long walks carrying heavy loads. One flaw in my scientific observations is that this phenomenon seems reversed when we go somewhere more interesting like the Buckarama or the Georgia State Fair. For some reason, she seems to tire more easily on those expeditions. In any event, so long as there are shopping malls available at future trouble spots, we have a natural force of infantry among our female population.
Men are better at watching TV for long intervals while they punch the buttons on the remote control.
Proper assignments would easily resolve the gender issues in the military. In my next column, I ll solve world hunger. All rights reserved.
