Women surely belong in the Armed Forces...they perform vital duties of all kinds.But they shouldn’t be in combat or even a combat zone (except,perhaps medical personnel and other specialized duties).I’ve never been in combat...or a combat zone...myself but I did serve during wartime so my opinion may,or may not,be worthy of consideration.
I refer to this "army" as "tourists bringing gifts." It's how liberals see our military. As you say, it's not really an army, since armies do kill people and destroy their stuff. And it's why we will never win another war so long as the liberals are in control of our major institutions. They cannot bring themselves to wage war.
I saw a documentary some time ago comparing the performance of males and females during Marine recruit training.In short it was embarrassing for the women.Men would be interviewed and say they were tired,sore,dispirited,etc.The women,OTOH,would be in tears during their interviews.
An excellent assessment by Capt Serrano, she truly gets it.
0bama’s minions pushing his social experiments in the military will not appreciate it.

If they were in my living room and my wife walked in.
Situation not improved by her boobs.
Ironically, sadly, simultaneously, what about women on naval vessels?
Top leaders removed midway into deployment because of “a liberty incident that occurred in the Sixth Fleet area of operations”

that's why I think mothers should always be given custody, unless they are profoundly mentally disturbed, or worse than the fathers...
see life would be more simple and lots better if we just stuck to our roles and respected each others roles.
that being said, women generally are in better health, live longer, have more stamina, can exist on less food, and obey orders better than men....so there....
hygenically vulnerable?....what does that mean?...they use toliet paper?...do they scratch their private parts?...pick their nose?...oh, you probably mean they have their monthlies once a month....
the world would completely stop if women decided to take it easy during their monthlies....which they don't.
Reasons to not to put women in combat arms:
1) fraternization caused morale and combat effectiveness problems
2) casualties among the females caused morale problems with both males and females
3) males tried to protect the females and resulted in higher casualties for both
4) females tried to prove themselves, took more risks, and suffered disproportionally higher casualties
5) females were physically unable to match men's greater strength in field situations
The Canadian Forces have opened all branches of service to women, including infantry. In Canada, every infantry soldier candidate goes through a “selection” process similar to that the British Special Air Service (SAS) uses for its members. The last phase of the SAS selection process is a timed forced march in full kit — with a 60 lb. Bergen ruck sack and rifle (no sling) — through the Brecon Beacons in Wales. The Brecon Beacons is very, very rugged terrain. If you make it, you pass “selection”.
The Canadians have a similar “selection” process for infantry. So far only three females, AFIK. have made it through selection and re-qualification is done annually. Whether they are still active with the infantry I don't know. One female CDN Forces infantry captain won the Military Medal of Valour for actions in Afghanistan [2010]. The MMV is the third highest Canadian decoration. The Medal of Military Valour, abbreviated as MMV, is awarded to members of the Canadian Forces for “an act of valour or devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy”. This sounds like the American Bronze Star that is awarded for both combat (with “V” device) and non-combat actions.
Here is a pro-female in combat “puff” piece from the BBC about Captain Ashley Colette's MMV award: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24622762
My father turned 18 during WWII. He had a leg injury as a child and was rejected by all branches when they saw the scar running the length of his left thigh. He barely had a limp, but the rules were all enlistees must be able to be infantry. He had always regretted not getting to serve.
He would say "They could have let me do something stateside. Somebody had to mail out pay checks and order supplies for the front lines."
in the video it looks like he leaned in and gave her a little shove, to which the powerfully built sheman woman actually got right in his face and for that he flattened her....right out of the muzzie handbook....
you forgot to throw in cleaning toliets....
Mothers are well suited for the raising of children until about age 8. After that, daddy better be around or those kids will most likely end up screwed up as adults. Single mothers are the scourge of civilization.
Why Women Do Not Belong in the U.S.
Think ISIS.
LOL, what a crock.
Women break down under the hard physical stress of soldiering, their injury rate is higher, they suffer from bad hygiene and they can’t keep up, they are losers in the military because of their injury rate, pregnancy, and low reenlistment rates.
You are correct about them being easier to lead though, and many writers have written about that corrosive effect they have, as weak leaders come to prefer the less effective, but less challenging females to hide their leadership deficiencies.
You don’t know about hygiene in the military? Have you been in, or do you read military history, for instance living in trenches and mud holes for weeks at a time?
Women are a real problem in the military, they can’t even do support jobs well, for instance changing the heavy tire on the truck they are driving, or lifting armament, or gear, they can’t even carry the needed gear for their own packs and set up large tents, and get over walls.
Notice that they already have us down to trying to protect the infantry, rather than all military service?
Females used to be limited to clerical, legal, financial and medical, and the soldiers never had to deal with them except on main post when doing indoor things and administrative duties.
Oh, you’re so picky!!!!
