New book shows women in combat suffer much more serious non-combat injuries, alleges IDF cover-up.
A new book sums up 13 years of research on female participation in IDF combat units and declares the feminist experiment in the Israeli military a failure. Lochamot Betzahal by Col. (res.) Raza Sagi, a former infantry regiment commander, points to high rates of serious injury among women serving in combat units, and to involvement of radical political groups behind the scenes of the campaign for combat service by women.
.....
"The study found that a particularly high percentage of women who served in combat roles suffered physical harm during their service and will suffer for the rest of their lives from ruptured discs, stress fractures in the pelvis, uterine prolapse and more, Sagi told Maariv/NRG.
While men also suffer injuries during their military service, he said, studies prove that the female rate of injury is much higher and that the seriousness of the average injury is greater, with entire platoons sometimes unable to function because of the physical state of the female soldiers. The injuries referred to are incurred in training and routine deployment not actual combat.
"The idea that there is no difference between men and women in the army is a ridiculous one that has been disproved in all of the world's militaries, Sagi insisted. One cannot defeat evolution. In days in which a meaningful reduction of the defense budget is required there is no doubt that the matter of placing women in combat roles requires reassessment.

Prepare for the Femi-nazis to get their panties in a wad about this article...
OOpsie!
Only uncivilized countries send their women into combat.
>>>>The idea that there is no difference between men and women in the army is a ridiculous
So very true. The Clintons running for the presidency would never change it nor anyone else that I can think of.
Don’t expect reason and logic to sway the morons who instituted this discredited policy. They are morons.
I’m sure there are plenty of women who would do well in combat. There are also many men, especially among our new metrosexuals who are as unqualified at most women. If we had our backs to the walls then, yes, throw everybody at the enemy. But we’re not.
There are probably combat roles for women as aircraft pilots. There are also plenty of vital support roles such as intelligence analyst. Like any tool in your toolbox you want to use the one that’s right for the job at hand and not break one by using it improperly.
The idea that men and woman are interchangeable is a liberal fantasy. I can’t even think why they’d want to sell that image as it is patently untrue.
No Shiite.
I don’t want to protect a woman in battle.
I want to fight alongside men and destroy the enemy
Oh, that guy again....
Tell me this is a joke.
Only uncivilized countries send their women into combat.
BINGO!!!!!!
and for the same reasons, I also believe that there should be and must be a natural inclination to place children with their mothers in custody battles, barring absolute ineptitude...
you can't have it both ways...
Unique fighting skills that take into account women’s physiology could be developed as well as weapons, tools ect. The mistake is as you put it: thinking that women and men soldiers can be interchangeable. They aren’,t but they could be made to be complementary in a kind of a hold by nose/ kick in butt fighting strategy.
What? That women don’t belong in combat or that there really is a Captain Obvious?
“They aren,t but they could be made to be complementary”
I couldn’t agree more. But politically there’s push to make them interchangeable, equal, in other words. I’m not sure I see the reasoning for this, but it’s probably so liberal it’s not obvious.
I agree. There are so many important jobs that women are more than competent to do .. pilots, for almost every type of aircraft; tech jobs, whether in air, land or sea.
And .. with these types of jobs given to more women, that frees more men to be in the combat units.
And .. besides that .. I objected because I could not fathom having to deal with women’s menstruation issues in a battlefield setting .. and all the obvious male/female interaction with that type of high-stress in combat.
For any women that really, really want to go into battle and fight, have all-women platoons. Women won’t have to try to drag wounded men to safety, but might be able to drag another woman. Platoon tasks could be “lighter” so there are less “ruptured discs, stress fractures in the pelvis, uterine prolapse and more”. Women medics would certainly be knowledgeable and empathetic to all womanly issues. No problems with privacy, sleeping arrangements, etc.
I’m half serious here .... and half not.
...have all-women platoons....
***
And make the enemy promise to send only all-women platoons against them.
