God made men and women different (and thank God for women), and uniquely compatible and complimentary, with functional/positional differences. The quest to ignore God's order is from the devil, who seeks to create a world of his perverse corruptions of what God has ordained in His wisdom.
Depends. Either you want Private Benjamin or the chick from Aliens.
101st Airborne opened up to women earlier this year, all the better to start rolling out those maturnity BDUs and x-back ponytail helmets some genius dreamed up. What the army really needs is paratroopers dropping their guts, am I,right? Go army pelvic organ prolapse, Hooah...

Generally, women don’t have the killer instinct that men do. Like every rule, there are exceptions, but more often they are a liability on an actual battlefield when competing with men.
There are no pros IMO.
They are also a distraction when they get injured, because it is instinctual for men to momentarily lay down their arms to take care of an injured woman.
Even if only for seconds, it’s an deadly delay.
Thank God we didn’t have to put up with this crap in Vietnam.
Could you post that AGAIN, because we WOMEN VETERANS didn’t HEAR you the first time around.
Daniel1212? Are you the same MAN that’s on my Weekly Gardening Thread? If so, piss off. If not? Piss off.
Gawd, you guys are making me stabby. Are YOU both Veterans? If so? Piss off. If not Piss off!
Con: having women in the military.
50 guys for every woman. Not bad odds. “An Officer And A Gentleman” in Michners Tales of Paradise was a good story. She was not attractive. He was lonely. She was lucky to hook up with an officer even if he was married. Speaking of that enlisted women were allowed to go to the officers club on my base. Guess they were invited.
If you insist.
Trump doesn't know, Mattis doesn't care and the brass appear to be actively working to destroy military effectiveness. This administration's handling of thr military has been the most monumental disappointment, worse even than Sessions, IMHO. 101st Airborne opened up to women earlier this year, all the better to start rolling out those maturnity BDUs and x-back ponytail helmets some genius dreamed up.

This.
Diana, this veteran loves you and have flown with very capable women crewmembers. I will defer any other comments for the moment. :)
27 years in the Marines, including 17 months in direct combat. Women should NEVER be anywhere near combat and NEVER in positions to command men.
Apples and oranges. Nice enough and essential to life as we know it but utterly incompatible to the requirements of organized and efficient murder.
Most everyone has a job for them. It's just a matter of finding it. (This being said, I've worked with some female AOs that could more than handle their own when it came to lifting bombs.)
Many jobs in the military can be performed by women just fine. Many job cannot.
I’ve heard that rationale from actual troops. Soldiers will more willingly run to help an injured woman when doing that could cost additional lives.
EOD. Explosives Ordinance Division. They were the ones that went out, sirens running, to recover unexploded ordinance in Okinawa. Women were first allowed to do those jobs in the mid 70’s. This 2 bagger was so unattractive the joke was that it was no big loss if one exploded in her face. Sorry guys.
HUDSON: Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
VASQUEZ: No. Have you?
