Can lady troops use the Family & Medical Leave act? In my office it made things tough when they had the baby, dropped it off at the grandparents then toured Europe or played house mother for three months while the rest of us picked up their slack.
That’s another `rat legacy *Clinton that should be ****canned.
We can avoid the chivalry problem to some degree by having all female combat battalions.
Probably wearing pink helmets.
What has been the real world experience during this decade plus of "colonial" war?
Here is the critical question that these PC bozos are not asking:
“How does having women in combat increase our ability to kill people and break things?”
Watch “Band of Brothers” or “the Pacific” and then ask yourself if women can be combat infantry soldiers.
You are absolutely right, and I do believe they were called WASPs. I am a bit of a history buff and now feel like I have to look this up. :)
As an aside, my Dad wanted to fight in Korea, but he had just taken the bar exam for law and his blood pressure was too high, so he was rejected. :)
Take care, FRiend. :) Julie
I hasten to point out that none of the women you alluded to served in combat or in combat vessels!
Women in ships was one of, if not THE, biggest mistakes the USN has made since WW II!
There are a whole host of reasons for my saying that, not the least is the sex at sea reason!
I am of two minds on this.
Women serve well in the Israeli Army. They service in combat.
Many, many years ago, women served alongside my husband in the MP’s and did outstanding.
I believe if they are treated as soldiers rather than women soldiers, they can serve and succeed. The problem arises when the military expects one thing and then accepts another.
Currently, women expect special treatment and men expect to be able to take advantage of women soldiers without consequence.
After WWII, the Democrat Party (or the Comintern which runs the Democrat Party) decided that America would never win another war.
The best we can hope for is a draw, to be continued later.
That might work! I am sure those pink kitten hats will come in handy! ;)
When wars/military actions start female soldier pregnancies skyrocket.
Just watch “Cops” when a woman police officer has a confrontation with a perp. I’ve never seen one time that the woman officer could handle a male perp that is out of control! Just ridiculous!
Women can’t do the job. There isn’t one that I couldn’t take out hand to hand, and I’m way past my “sell-by date”. Feminism is a lie, and it kills. We need to stop the “if they can do the job” blather. Women are as unfit for being infantrymen as they as for being NFL D-linemen. We don’t need “studies” to know these things.
That is true. I am a big fan of NCIS and loved Ziva (I think that was her name). They can be pretty tough.
And they have certain skills...think Mata Hari. ;)
That is rather ingrained into us, so it had occurred to me as well.
Can’t they train that out men?
Seems to me it adds a dynamic that wouldn’t be a plus for sure.
Thanks.
I like your test. That should serve to weed out some of this stuff.
>Women serve well in the Israeli Army. They service in combat.
They served so well that Israel lost their last ground war against Hezbola in 2006. That’s the only actual war to employ female grounds units in large numbers.
You will find out why the military is considering women for combat positions.
We simply cannot recruit enough fit 18-20 year olds to fight a war.
I have sat in many briefings about this exact subject. It's not necessarily that they want women in these positions, its the inability to recruit and retain qualified males.
I am 100% conservative, Until we double military pay, we aren't going to get the quality people we need.
