   Kingsley Browne, a professor of law at Wayne State University, has recently concluded a series of posts explicating the main argument of his new book, Co-ed Combat: The New Evidence That Women Shouldn't Fight the Nation's Wars (Sentinel, 2007).Hat tip to Elektradig, who thinks "Professor Browne Professor Browne makes a powerful case," and adds "I would be fascinated to see what military historians such as Mark Grimsley have to say on the subject. "
   ...
   I doubt that Browne arrived at these positions through disinterested intellectual analysis, and it's unreasonable to think that he could or should.On matters like this, nearly all of us find arguments that support gut-level convictions.And let's be frank: I doubt that any amount of countervailing argument would cause Browne to alter his viewpoint, just as I'm pretty sure that no amount of argument would convince me that women have no business in roles that would put them in harm's way.
   ...
   It would be a sheer power play for me to delegitimize Browne's perspective simply because it flows from an obvious political point of view, just as it would be a power play for Browne to delegitimize perspectives that differ from his by imposing that tired label, "politically correct," though plainly those perspectives also have political underpinnings.
   
   I'll address Browne's argument (and as many other points of view as I can) in future posts.
