A country that sends it’s women to fight it’s wars is not fit to be called a country.


Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden are not fit to be called countries? Combat roles are open to to women in all those,,,non-countries.

Israel tried it and it was a miserable failure. When was the last time the socialist countries you mentioned actually fought a war?

“Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden are not fit to be called countries?”

And exactly HOW MANY females are able to pass the selection criteria for Infantry, Armor, or Artillery? Canada, the last I heard, had exactly THREE females that passed selection for Infantry and none of them were actively serving in that job.

Training requirements must not be watered down to qualify Suzie Soldier into combat arms. You put both sexes in deadly danger because Suzie thinks she can do a job she really cannot do. Combat is an equal opportunity killer and not a resume enhancement or fast track to promotion. You must be alive to get the promotion or enjoy the resume enhancement. Besides, this is about putting females in officer slots; enlisted females rarely harbor such ambitions.
