Absolutely. Sometimes you get what you ask for.Sorry, I respectfully disagree. I'm not for sacrificing any of our sons for a social experiment.

...in Israel, one woman saved the life of a fellow soldier by crafting a tourniquet out of her braWell, if that isn't the best justification I've ever heard for women in front-line combat positions, I don't know what is. That certainly overcomes all of my objections.
To: TheProducer
So should women be serving in combat?
Well its a good idea, maybe, on paper...butI think they would have a hard time carrying those trays with beer and sandwiches...

Moot point because they’re going there anyway. Might as well since we’re already in the midst of collapse.
To: TheProducer
my first impulse was to say NO!....but as I thought about the issue, I realized that if women are foregoing motherhood then women are just another human person, and they bleed like men.....

It's too bad that we can't enlist wymyn like Janet Reno to go against America's enemies.

Damned straight they should be serving.

Considering that armed conflict was one of mankind’s earliest creations and has been practiced continuously by all cultures for millenia, and considering that it is the one endeavor where it is literally a case of victory or death, I would say the fact that armed combat is historically the exclusive province of men pretty much settles the issue. If women were effective in combat they would already be doing it and we wouldn’t be asking this stupid question.

No. And while we’re at it any job like fireman or fireman where the physical requirements were ‘dumbed down’. In all cases if they can perform the original physical requirements I’m good with them be alowed to work those jobs.

Only if it is a matter of survival. Otherwise, it is the sign of degenerate, spent culture and polity that deserves to die.
