Should women be banned from the armed forces? If so, why? ["inherent biological differences...the biggest factor is our biological programming to be protective of women"]

So much for gender fluidity. But what is ignored in the article is that the male is ordained of God to be the unselfish leaders in the martial and family unit (and by extension, in society at large), after the divine order.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3)

And sometimes the women must force the man to fulfill his role, and sometimes women must do so when men will not.

Not barred from the military but certain MOS’s in the combat arms should not be open to them...

Put wimen where they are used best. On the field is never the best.

The relationship between men and women is, or should be symbiotic but in battle, leave it to men.

Never been in war but taught martial arts long enough. We’re just stronger. Women are much more graceful but that gracefulness is worthless in the brutality of battle.

I couldn't have said it better.

Also, the military is no place for social experimenting!

Mother’s with children should not be placed in the battlefield zones. I’d go a step further in that No mothers should be serving in the military, period.

Barred almost entirely from the military, as it was until 1972 or before.

What combat leader would not want to replace his man warriors with a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version.

He would have to rewrite all the knowledge and experience, of what his troops are capable of and reduce all that accordingly, and simply eliminate some capabilities entirely, but a fair enemy would not seek to capitalize on those advantages of course.

I guess it all depends on whether or not the guys are allowed to have sex with them.

Call me a chauvinist, but women should not be in the front lines of military or law enforcement.

“...head of Christ is God..”

Where in the non-trinitarian tarnation did you come up with that one.

The presence of and participation of women in the military is destroying it.

All the “if they can do the job”—”as long as standards stay the same”—”not in combat units”—”on an individual basis”—etc. arguments are more than 50 years old now since we made the change in 1972, yet people keep repeating them or coming up with them.

Should women be banned from the armed forces? That’s debatable. What’s not debatable is the banning of trannies and others of a sexual perversion. I can see this demoralizing any unit.

Certainly from certain roles.

But that should have been obvious all along.

No, the armed forces should be primarily women. Diversity is our strength.

Think of what an excellent example we could be for the rest of the world!

Men have served and died a hugely disproportionate amount since the very beginning.

While I understand your reasoning, I disagree with your conclusion.

Not only should women continue to be allowed to serve, they should also be required to register for the draft.

Women should, however, be banned from all COMBAT ROLES, including serving on Navy warships and submarines, and flying combat aircraft.

As an Air Force veteran who served alongside women, there are many roles that women can fill, including the electronics repair shop job that I performed.

Women can wield a soldering irin just as well as a man, which results in freeing A MAN to fill a frontline combat role.
