Talk about a hot bunk...
Big problem is when she gets tired of the long deployment and decides to get pregnant to get out of it.
That is a real slap at professional female soldiers. Yes a small few will use this tactic but so do male soldiers use the "gay" excuse. You use a small percentage to paint the entire force.
This thread is getting a little sexest. There are many roles in the military that women are aptly suited for and in some cases excel. An entire sub crew of women might be more appropriate and equally effective. I would support this instead.
I do not support women on subs for the following reasons:
1. Life is tough on a sub and would be even more so on a woman. It’s not fair.
2. It would be costly to modify a billion dollar weapon to appropriately accomodate both sexes.
3. Most young military men are not mature enough sexually to not allow a woman to be a distraction. They are professional enough, just not mature enough.
Well, since your throwing around completely absurd stereotypes, she’ll either get herself pregnant on purpose or get pregnant after having been gang raped by a bunch of sailors who cannot help themselves, right? I mean, they’re young men, and boys will be boys.
So tell us, what exactly is the percentage of female service members who get pregnant while on active duty?
