“Are you ignorant of the millions of women who DON’T make the demands of the radicals? Are are the “they” in your statement? You haven’t met my wife or my four daughters, or my adult granddaughters. Don’t allow TV to convince you that all American women are like those you see in the streets.” [John Leland 1789, post 12]
“...the buttons that are pushed to launch don’t recognize if the finger is manicured and has a feminine touch.” [whitney69, post 22]
We might think, before declaring preferred moral stances unconditionally superior to historical and physical constraints.
This is 2022, not the 1770s. Physical strength and raw manpower are no longer the answer for all things military. That has been true for more than a century: review the history of the War to End Wars.
Women are superior to men at many military tasks. Combativeness and prowess in mothering are not mutually exclusive.
I think you missed the point of my post. I am saying that the people not in agreement with women being in the military are not realizing the importance of them. But it all has to do with proper screening for job capacity. That’s why the military has MOS and AFSC categories.
“Don’t allow TV to convince you that all American women are like those you see in the streets.”
TV has nothing to do with me. I trained troops in the military for over 25 years for fitness and combat capacity. I know the needs and the difference.
“Physical strength and raw manpower are no longer the answer for all things military.”
But that is one of the major concerns for the entry of women into the business and the publics’ push back against bringing them in. There is no substitute for the physical ability to run a mile for escape with a full pack and weapons. Not all men can do it and I have not seen more than a half dozen women able to get by with the effort. But women do a very good job on the admin side to include combat training and actual behind the scenes work like drone operation. I have a niece that works drones, DOD UAS, for the military. She’s AF in the main command in the deep south. Her’s are used all over the world.
So what the public is up in arms about with the drafting of people that can’t handle the job they are put into is a little ahead of the happening at this time. No one has been drafted so no one has been placed in a career field they can’t handle...yet. But that happens without the draft.

Bring equality to tennis and golf, soccer, running, swimming, etc, before you try and sell your nonsense to our warfighting military.
Females are going to not only drive away the warriors as they are, but they will bleed our military budget dry collecting pensions as they injure themselves doing routine chores and training, and straining backs and joints just to squeak by as a weak, mediocre GI, while they also collect their pensions for mental/emotional stress and non-combat PTSD.
