There’s no problem with women serving in security positions, such as the Secret Service, the FBI, CIA, etc. Those positions are UNLIKE the combat arms and the special ops which require upper body strength, hygiene deprivation and physical stamina, which most women don’t have on the same level as men. Women in security details works well.
There are some very brave women who take on these roles. But to argue that being a body guard is the same a being a special operator or an infantry solider is nonsense.
Here are a few excerpts from a previous post of mine on the female Ranger School graduates(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3331276/posts):
“But there are realities of warfare that remain the same as they have throughout history, and there are certain types of units that should and must remain all male. While there are some very physically fit women who can outperform the average man at endurance and strength tests, they are the rare exceptions to the rule. When it comes to the pure applications of “brute force and ignorance” that goes along with closing with and killing other men who are actively trying to kill you, under conditions which require physical exertions that exceed those of any professional sport, men are simply more suited to the occasion. The reality is far different from what Hollywood portrays in the movies.....
This truth of physical strength in martial endeavors applies when carrying 70 to 100 lbs of gear up the side of a mountain at 10,000 feet above sea level to root Al Qaeda members out of caves, when repairing the 3 ton track of an M1 tank in the snow, and to all the tasks related to the movement and operation of a field artillery piece or other heavy armored vehicles.”
Didn’t work so well for Kadafi.
GREAT! Until they have to fireman carry a 240 pound man to cover. Then the guy being protected and the body guard can both get killed.
Just like combat, it will only work if the entire team is female body guard(s) guarding another female and has upper body strength to match the others.
President imam zero does not have female bodyguards surrounding him and he’s skinny. *Hint maybe he’ll hire a few but they’ll have to wear bed sheets and cover their faces, unlike the mooch.
I met a woman once - no details - who was an operator in “hostage rescue”, except she was always deploying overseas to places where there were no hostages. This was before 9/11.
The thing about her was that she was the most seductive woman I’ve ever met. In fact, the reason she was seeing me was because all of her other consultants had just done what she “suggested” (i.e., commanded) them to do, and she wasn’t getting the results she needed.
I never figured out if she could turn it on and off (was it weaponized) or if it was just nature.
Anyway, feminine skills undoubtedly have a role in covert ops, even where danger is involved.
