@smithinjapan
Of COURSE male-only units are going to perform better so long as your mentality towards and training of mixed units remains in the dinosaur age!
I think Female Kurdish Fighters are enough to discredit you, just like you of mostly discredited your self with Okinawa. I have meant many tough women in the arm forces that I would prefer to serve next to instead of you.

Its proof that the US gov always lies and does not deserve the trust of the people. Its time for the us military to leave Okinawa. The marines are an expeditionary force, they have no detterance capabilities.

rlancy- most of the businesses in Okinawa have nothing to do with the us military, maybe you should take a closer look at okinawa and you will notice that they are not actually japanese, Instead you notice that they are oppressed people just tibetians. Why dont learn about what actually going on. I will never be proud to be an america.
