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.
Thank God we didn’t have to put up with this crap in Vietnam.
Con: having women in the military.
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.
Well, I remember hearing from guys in my squadron who were in the same bar as the remarkable woman who dropped the first ordnance on Iraq. Very nice. Then the esteemed warfighter jumped up on the bar and shouted, “Who wants to see the first female pilot to drop bombs on Iraq NAKED?!”
A guy couldn’t do that my friends.
My answer: Admin and medical support only.
Typically the work routinely involved moving multiple loads of up to 150 lbs vertically in the personnel access hatch (PAH) which was a 30 foot long and 30 inch wide access shaft and ladder combination. These loads were tools, fixtures and spares necessary to keep the missile launch facility (LF) operational.
Of the five women initially assigned, two immediately requested REMF jobs and never worked in the field. Both were single mothers and wanted to have more time with their kids. Two became pregnant by their team mates who deployed to the field with them and also later were assigned to shop jobs (scheduler and training coordinator) because of the pregnancies. One later requested a discharge.
The remaining woman was the smallest of the group, nudging 5'2 and weighing no more than 90 lbs. She actually held her own and did it very well. Obviously she needed help with heavier lifting but she never quit and never complained. She also eventually married her maintenance teammate but never had kids and stayed on the job.
We kept on getting ones and twos after each tech school class graduated (about 9 months) but they would soon disappear into wing jobs or other squadron duties.
It sounds to me like this guy has a chip on his shoulder. In my 18 years in the military, I have never run into those behaviors.
Most medical units do have a high number of women. That’s because medical personnel are not combatants.
Also, I do not think that the current fad with trying to get women into combat is going to last long. The fact is, even the strongest women are no match for most men.
When I was in the Air Force in the early 1970s we were notified that we were going to have 2 women in the shop. Everyone was excited/curious.
Mainly, it went OK but one day we sent one of them out to remove a fairly heavy unit (about 30 lbs.) from an aircraft but she came back without it. WTF we asked her. She said she unfastened it but it was too heavy for her to lift out of the cockpit, so we had to send one of the guys out to bring it back to the shop. Sorry liberals, but men and women are different.
Women are the last resort in any military, only for providing logistical support behind the lines when all able bodied male warriors have been exhausted. When you need someone to guard the home bases and factories because all the men have been sent to distant shores or the borders of your country to stave off or fight back an invasion.
Women create life, they are not supposed to take it away, and forcing them to do so is an abomination.
Someone has to make the samichs
It is the LawVirtually all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing in the United States, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service.
The pros are in Nursing and clerical support , The negatives, beyond belief , are in combat. You cannot absorb the insanity of that under pressure,
Women in the military should be treated like men! So the next major beach invasion, send 6000 of them in to secure it. After the slaughter, no more women in the military.
so imagine you are a Colonel reviewing this policy for a group of liberal Congressmen. What are you going to tell them? People getting killed because of social-engineering and politics is a matter for the future. Your career is on the line at this immediate moment. What do you think the majority of people in the position will say?
