LFR, putting women on submarines IS treating people with disrespect -- namely, men and the warrior culture. Putting women in combat situations IS treating people, men who are trying to do the job of fighting in combat, with disrespect (see mylife's posts, in particular #302 above).
GET A CLUE, stop whining like a pissy female that this is somehow "demeaning" to women, and start showing TRUE respect for other people. So far, you are the one indicating that you endorse DISRESPECT and (typical of a woman!) insist on calling it a form of respect. Yeeeeeesh.
LOL, nice try.
I think women should be able to serve in the military but not on the front lines under pressure with the men.
Many women already work on sub tenders. They do a great job, but I know that the world on a sub tender and that on a sub are galaxy's apart.
We just don't operate like the surface navy.
Next thing ya know there will be mixed SEAL teams
The only crime your parents committed against the US was only having one daughter.
