"Speaking of physical standards, this has become a problem for European countries now seeking women for the infantry because it is a known and accepted fact that women suffer more injuries in physically stressful activities. Proponents of women in combat (none of them combat veterans) dismiss these issues as minor and easily fixed but offer no tangible or proven solutions. By European law allowing women in jobs that leads to more injuries than men would suffer is illegal. No one has gone to court over this yet but it is only a matter of time. First you have to wait for enough women to join to get a statistically valid number of injured female infantry."

Men and women are the same in the military:

EXCEPT:

Physical Fitness Tests
Grooming Standards
Body Fat Standards
Etc.

We need breast feeding schedules at work.

Just you remember that!

Enough of these baby steps. Let’s open all military position to the old, disabled, blind,deaf, quadriplegic and comatose. The latter-most can be used in command roles.

The government should mandate a certain amount of NFL positions on each team should be fielded with females. It would make more sense than this military mandate.

When I was in second grade my friend Mark Bingham told me that girls are not like boys, “girls hate to be dragged”. Then he explained further, we think its fun to be dragged but girls just hate it.” The second-grader Mark Bingham had more wisdom than the Obama Administration.

If you’ve got 1,000 men and 20 of them injured and 10 women and 8 of them injured, you have youre stats...

One issue that is never discussed:

What will happen to these female “commandoes” when they’re captured by the enemy?

[arthurus]

The straight MEN will leave. The queers and the women will stay. The officer ranks will be filled with the new elite pets including some rapidly promoted generals and admirals. The US military will reach a point soon where it has to rely solely on technology, drones and such, to fight a war. It will not be able to hold territory so it will have to sterilize the land. That is if, of course, all that technology is not shrunk to nonexistence.

[Steely Tom]

What’s going to happen when it is “discovered” that women are signing up for combat jobs at a rate much lower than their percentage of the population?

[Organic Panic]

The progressives must gut the military. That’s the last semblance of American power. Obama has done a fine job after 7 years of homocentric transgenderism in the military. What young man would join when he knows his CO will be a transgendered lesbian that will have him Court Marshaled for one off the cuff remark.

Infantry: What Women Hate

No place to plug in an electric tooth brush.

[AlaskaErik]

I retired in 2007. Just in time to still be part of the finest military in the world and to have all those retirement certificates bearing the signature of a Commander in Chief who had actually served himself. What Obama has done in the past seven years is nothing short of treason. I pity those who have to endure his destruction of our military.

[familyop]

"...about 20,000 of these are for special operations personnel, commonly known as commandos."

That's incorrect. Commandos are a subset.

[Snickering Hound]

Male and female Israeli officers both report that it is not a good idea to put men and women together in observation posts or other isolated situations that require sustained concentration and alertness.

You think?

[PLMerite]

Make women register for the draft, and then announce that a female-only draft will occur until the percentage of women in the military jibes with the percentage of women in the U.S. population.

Equal is equal. Fair is fair. Karma is a bitch.

[CodeToad]

Often men take on the hard jobs to get away from the PC crap. Put women in and they feminize the organizations with PC crap. Men walk away.

[Chode]

don't know what they hate, but if they want to be line dogs, they must LOVE UTI and yeast infections... course the hoodrats are used to that by now

[arthurus]

The necessity and the goal is to prove that there is no difference whatever between one person and the next, that they are all interchangeable and expendable.
