Today, there are nearly 70,000 women serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. More than 10,000 are fighting directly on the frontlines. They are not there because of a quota. They are there because they wanted to serve, and serve they are…
The drone revolution: where women excel
The character of the fight has altered. No longer is strength the limiting factor. Now it’s precision, focus, and problem-solving. Women fly the latest FPV drones, command unmanned systems units, and conduct intelligence missions in Ukraine. The Khartiia Corps claims a 20 percent increase in female recruits for combat technology positions. Why? Because a 26-year-old woman operating a drone from a basement 5 kilometers from the front lines doesn’t need to lift 200 pounds. She needs math skills, discipline, and the ability to stay cool under fire…
The more technology we have, like drones, the more historically male professions open up,” says Volodymyr Dehtyarov, spokesman for Khartiia Corps. And women are filling those roles with expertise that’s indispensable…
Oleksandra worked in a bakery. Today she’s a sniper. At 100-meter ranges she practices, her targets are precise. On the frontline, her targets are over a kilometer away. Not brute force but mathematics and discipline…
Inna Derusova, a field medic, saved over 10 soldiers in the opening hours of the invasion before she was killed. She was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine...
The United States, Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Poland! These are militaries that opened every combat role to women. None of them regretted it. All of them benefited from accessing talent they’d been leaving on the table. Poland has increased female military service by 15 percent year-over-year. Not through quotas or mandates. Because the military realized that capable women make the army stronger.

Remember folks this was all fomented by our bestest favorite negroe and the hillary...how many are dead on both sides and all because of a NATO moniker.....
Here we go again- the push for women in combat. Direct combat is no place for women; combat is organized murder and even many men can’t do well in it.
Warfare will increasingly be based on our intelligent machinery against theirs. A lot better than maimed and dead soldiers.
Star Trek had an episode that took it to the next level with virtual warfare.
How did women in the US military do against the Taliban in the trenches in the Afghanistan war?
Warfare ultimately comes down to man vs man unless one side surrenders.
There is a big difference between the type of military you can use when you are being invaded and the battlefield is your own cities, towns, and farmlands.
If America was being overrun then females and old men would make sense, but when putting together a lean hard expeditionary force you need the leanest and hardest because numbers are limited and you need every ounce of per capita muscle and testosterone driven aggression you can get, everytime you replace a man with a female you are degrading your capabilities.
Time for Rush’s All-American first Cavalry Amazon Battalion?
If draft
No college deferral
Men and women
Yes, I agree. Just like that old joke about the 60 year old veteran. I can’t run so I will stay here and fight. And usually a lot better than the young guys. The old guys already survived a war.
Only if you think 50% women in the military doesn’t degrade the military and increase our chances of being defeated as a nation, and at least increase our American dead.
I think I mostly object to women in combat but only those that fit in the ideal woman picture that I have in my mind. I don’t want women to get shot in their boobs. I think there are women that would be good in combat but they should be in women majority units so they don’t threaten the lives of men who are going to have to take care of them.
Operating a drone from a basement five miles away requires practice. Math skills would be of little necessity and coolness under pressure would not factor because they are far away from the targets.
I think the article expands on the skill set but it’s excerpted.
so what. If they want to fight, let them.
I remember Patricia Schroede from Colorado, being at the forefront of forcing women into combat roles.
Luckily i was in the navy when ships were still all male. I heard all the horror stories from my shipmates who stayed in.
women shouldn’t be in combat roles.
There are plenty of other jobs where they can serve.
What’s the protocol for female POW’s who are being gang-raped by savages? Immediate capitulation? Didn’t see that coming...
So - you’re actually a man? Real men fight - and don’t try to push it on the women.
I remember the first Atlantic Fleet “coed ship”, the USS Vulcan sailed to the Med in 1978. when the Vulcan returned, half of the females were pregnant and allegedly two of them were pregnant by the captain.
