I happen to think that the dividing line should be combat support vs. combat arms - at least for most types of combat arms. Combat support roles include transportation, MPs, etc. IIRC, field artillery and air defense artillery are both combat support roles.
Combat arms are armor, infantry, etc.
The integration of women into combat support bothers me little - even though I have seen the issues it raises first hand. They can be overcome by good unit discipline, especially discipline at the platoon and company levels.
In a combat unit, designed to be the front line of offense and defense, I’m not convinced that integrating women won’t cause insurmountable issues. To integrate in the face of dangerous issues is simply to say “the soldiers’ lives don’t count”.
JMHO, naturally.
Even as a half-crippled, middle-age man, I'd choke that DS out in about two minutes. I like how she does the poseur push to pretend like she has biceps. And spare us the pics of the Scandanavian military, please.
Let me know when they don't surrender to invaders.
What crap.
Women are rarely the physical equals of men.
These are real women soldiers. The guy is my Father's best friend. The picture was taken in June 1945 in Berlin Germany. Daddy said they were actually nice girls.And none of them can carry a machine gun for 20 miles.
It’s not whether she can kick my butt.
It’s whether she can kick the butt of a man who is trying to kill her at all costs (his own death included).
