Some women might be ready for combat but that doesn’t mean it is a good thing to do (though I’d like to see a woman soldier capture an Isis loser and shove her panties down his throat causing him to die a slow death by asphyxiation all the while thinking he ain’t going to get those 72 virgins because he has a womens panties in his throat and he wouldn’t know what to do with a virgin anyway because he has only been with a goat and his palm his entire wretched loser life).
That comment was referencing another article, not the one I posted.

If you could post a link to that article I’d appreciate it, I can use all the ammunition I can get.
Pure nonsense. How is a woman with 60% of the upper body strength going to carry a 250 pound unconscious man who is “dead weight” from a battlefield. This is craziness.
These morons don’t know what real combat is...
I’m not interested in the military musings of a guy that avoided the draft due to a pilonidal cyst.
Trite. Give us a call when half of America has been conquered and its a fight for national survival. And they don’t use them in the Russian infantry after the war ended.
Founder, my ***.
Soros creates, bankrolls, trains,
and then publicizes these groups in the lefty media (such as the commie NY TIMES).
Currently the annual physical fitness tests for men and women in the Marine Corps are gender-based.
For example, women must be able to perform a different type of pull-up called a “flexed-arm hang”, while men must be able to perform a set number of fully executed pull-ups to pass the exam.
The Marines is also the only branch of the US military where men and women undergo separate basic training.
I dunno. Birth control doesn’t always prevent a woman’s cycle from happening. So I imagine a woman soldier months on the ground in enemy territory. The unit is undercover, the woman soldier gets her cycle. Is the unit supposed to stop every 3 hours so she can take care of that personal business? Is she gonna have enough room to carry sanitary items in her limited baggage?????
This must be addressed. I say this as a woman.
Over my dead body. Conventional warfare can become irrelevant in mere seconds. If my family survives the aftermath, and the situation necessitates, we'd frankly rather fight female rangers than relentless, robust, versatile, pragmatic and predatory male warriors. Let the state continue to undermine itself. End Selective Service now!
I love the burdens feminists place on women! They do most of the housework and cooking, bear the children, work outside the home and should now be on the front lines in battle! Yes, that’s progress all right.
Vikings! Don't forget the Vikings!
Ready or not is irrelevant. Fair is fair. It is long past time to require that 18 year old women sign up for selective service. They should have equal chance of being placed in the most dangerous positions. Period!
Mothers of sons should rise up and demand equality in this area.
I’ve dated some women who certain were ready for combat, that’s for sure...
Exactly. Your point is the issue that almost nobody is talking about. This really should get some discussion time on the senate floor when the Iran deal is filibustered.
