I say that women have a place at VMI just like they would have a place in the military.
People can form an argument for or against anything. Merely having an argument doesn't say anything about credibility. Some things can be deemed foolish based on face value (like a woman in Alpha Phi Alpha). Other things may be deemed foolish after you weight the arguments.
I would say that women have a place at VMI (whether they, as individuals, can withstand the rigor is another issue), but shouldn't attempt to matriculate at an institution such as Moorehouse.
