text: Using that logic, if banning women (or even blacks or gays) from serving as combat troops was "good enough" for the first several hundred years the United States existed, then it should be fine if we return to that status.  Dont you think?
  
  I mean, it was only a couple of years ago that women were even granted the ability to even apply for all types of combat positions...but, since it worked out so well beforehand with them not being allowed to apply for those positions, might as well go back to that also.  Right?
