Women might compromise their combat mission because of their “emotions.”

What a load of CRAP. Aghhhh, this infuriates me. I can’t believe this guy is getting any votes, let alone winning primaries.

Worrisome. Come on, America, step it up! 

Without addressing Santorum’s worth as a candidate or the issue of women in combat, I actually don’t think he was saying “women are ruled by emotions so they can’t go into combat.” It’s pretty obvious to me that he was trying to say “men have emotions about needing to protect women which might interfere with combat” without coming right out and saying it. That’s even more clear when he comments that it’s already hard enough given the bonds of camaraderie among men.
