The female Russian snipers in WWII, and a few women in the American Revolution, and other women in many other wars throughout history, acquitted themselves rather well.
Oh, wait, I get it! This statement by Donald Trump is supposed to disqualify him from being worthy of serving as President.
You betcha...
everybody late to the party?
listen up people.. http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/female-pilots-launch-aerial-combat-missions-women-fly-history-article-1.805290
it’s already been done long ago
I think it was disgusting that not one candidate said women are not designed for combat and are to be protected.
IMO, women in combat isn’t something that I’d support as a requirement. I think at best, it is a decision that should be left up to each combat command based on what their needs are.
At this point in our country’s serious, serious decline due to a constant barrage of liberal, diversionary ‘wannadoos’ that have to picayune nothing in relative terms to do with the substantive ills we are faced with in this country.
Illegals already here? - get the hell rid of them. Border? - Put a damn wall up and stop them. Unchecked politically driven demographic immigration of religious and refugee sects? Stop it!
No, no, NO.
History has clearly proven there are many woman that chose a combat role and in life or death situations came out the winner.
I know, this sounds sexist in it’s best politically correct sense, but these are not your typical women. The typical woman is very feminine and frail and just not built for combat. I watched many of them in the service. Built to be a mechanic? Yup. But about half of them will let a male counterpart carry their tool box. And an good percentage wind up getting pregnant, probably by the guy carrying her toolbox.
Then there is the tippy-toeing around the males have to do to keep out of hot water from the feminist ones. I recall a true story where some male AF cops had a private discussion about their dogs. The guy who owned the breeders referred to the female dogs as “bitches”, which is a correct term. A female AF cop, not a party to the conversation, overheard the word “bitch” and turned them in for an EEO complaint. I personally knew the woman, she was a feminist.
My point is, if you can weed out all the political correctness in the military, and have women join up to serve just like the male counterparts with out special treatment. Then yes. Women do belong. But until political correctness is done away with. NO, women do not belong. The military is not a social experiment.
Now with regards to Trump going to the commanders to find out, that is just ridiculous. Commanders are people, if they can kiss butt to go up the ladder, and say the right things, they’ll do it.
I still support Trump, but he just got another negative point. I’m getting closer to being a full time Cruz supporter.
“I would really speak to the generals, because I would want to hear that without a political bent,” Trump cautioned.
Works for me!!! Go Trump!
Its possible America might have to adopt the Israeli approach, where all able citizens must participate in basic training.
Not everyone has to be in a mud filled trench with a rifle and a shovel.
It was the perfect answer. He said he would consult the generals. Men and women may be equal under the law—but we are not the same.
IT WAS EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE-NOT JUST TRUMP.
That discussion, on everyone’s part, was the most ludicrous. NOT ONE of them stood up against the feminist regime and stated FACTS about the differences between men and women biologically.
IT’S A CROCK. Where was mr. tell-it-like-it-is, I will build up the military except to put men’s lives in jeopardy within the structure of the system itself.
Read other threads and posts by Freeper vets about having women doing certain jobs. Come to think of it,
the Pentagon and each branch has to set a minimum requirement for each MOS just as the civilian business world does to PREVENT INJURY and meet safety standards.
Face it, within the platoon the largest guy carries the SAW. And hey, there are field artillery and tank jobs women just cannot be assigned.

Trump reveals his own military inexperience here.
Sorry folks. A person is either a complete idiot, or a PC loving so and so to have an opinion like this. And probably a mix of both.
A woman should never be in combat arms. I’m not going thru the list of things why. From personal experience and from that of my brother, father, and my many Army brothers out there; just know that women in combat is beyond retardation.
The title is a bit misleading. Trump would support women in combat positions if the Generals made that decision. Again, from the supposed loose cannon on the stage, a sensible answer which addresses the situation in a meaningful way.
No civilized country should send their women into combat, only at the very last resort...
“Trump: I Would Support Women in Combat Roles”
Trump is like a mirror, he reflects the views of whoever he is talking to. If he was in front of the VFW he would be against women in combat.
EXCELLENT political move. No upside in coming out against women in combat. He can always ‘reconsider’ once in office, after the generals explain the situation.
He must mean Lesbians.
1. It's voluntaryA battalion of anthropophobic lesbians could be excellent in a fight against America's enemies.2. The women's corps is entirely separate from the men's.
3. The decision to establish and/or retain a women's corps, or not, is entirely that of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and for the sole purpose of protecting the nation--and NOT because women (or anyone else) have a right to positions in the military.
