You can not site "fact" with out sources. You show no data to back up your claims.

Equal risks
If women shared equal risks, Panama would not have resulted in the deaths of 23 men and 0 women (also 0 women injured); and the Persian Gulf practice operations and war would not have led to the deaths of 375 men versus 15 women. For bothwars combined, 27 men died for each woman. but since there are only 9 men in the armed services for each women, then any given man's risk of dying was three times greater than any given woman's.

...Equality is not making women vulnerable by chance when men are made vulnerable by design.

Equal opportunity as officers
Women constitute 11.7 percent of the total military, but 12 percent of the officers. Women receive more-than-equal promotions in the services despite less-than-equal time in the sevices.

Equal pay
Both sexes in the Persian Gulf received $110 per month extra combat pay. The sexes received equal pay despite unequal risks.

Shall I go on or do you understand what I am for now. You have tried to make this a women in combat issue. I am trying to take about equality for men.

BTW..I hate to get pedantic, but it's cite (not site) and, well you know how medicine should be spelled.

Yes, I understand exactly what you're for. Well over 100 years ago, William S. Gilbert took it to task, in " PRINCESS IDA " and did a fantastic job of slashing your silly position.

There is now a thread up on FR ( no, I don't do links ) which thoroughly decimates your simple minded position, as well as specifically proving my position. Shall I ping you to it ?

You think that it's only FAIR, that women die, if men are going to . Is that IT ?

BTW, female officers is , in a very large extent, due to affirmative action / PC garbage.

In REAL life, females now out number males, who are accepted to / graduate from colleges / universities.

In REAL life, males pay scales, exceed females, due, in large part to the " mommy tack ".

I could go on; however, you don't do anything but ignore facts.

The sourced " data ", which you post, comes from one man's whacky book. It's NOT much more than cherrypicked stats, twisted around to comply with his agenda; and your's.
