Turn the role of women in the military back to what it was in 1960 period.

That is not what happened. Obama ordered it and intimidated the Generals and Admirals into accepting it. The ‘studies’ were a white-wash.

Women play a vital role in the Armed Forces...and I'm not just talking doctors and nurses.But the only ones who should ever get near combat *are* doctors and nurses.

Hasn’t Carter already said he was resigning?
He did it to save face since President Trump would have canned his candy assume quickly

They don’t perform the same physical fitness tests. If a woman wants to be in an infantry unit, she needs to be able to perform and pass the exact same physical requirements that a male would have to.
I’m also waiting to see a woman dead lift a 200lb man with an additional 40-60 lbs of gear and fireman carry them 100 yards with no assistance.

Some estimates say that if all combat jobs were closed to women, it would mean there were approximately 300,000 fewer jobs for women in the military. Are we running a military or a Federal jobs program?
To: nickcarraway
Hampton says she thinks keeping all jobs open for women is a motivating factor, and she has enjoyed the competitive nature of being a Marine.Its all about my feels...

'Last year, after a series of intensive studies that took years to complete,
Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military to open all combat
jobs to woman'
Bullcrap...The Marines study said that integrated units preformed much
worse than all male units in achieving training objectives. Carter ignored
the report, attacked the Corps and went ahead with his leftist agenda.

There maybe a total of approximately 300,000 combat jobs in the entire military. The rest are support, logistics and administrative jobs.

For countless reasons, women in combat is one of the greatest follies of the obama years - years that were magnificent for their follies and fiascos.
Unlike say-to-day activity, in which idiotic social experiemnts can be tried by the ill-informed and misguided, the military keeps us all alive.
Weaken that and our fine troopers will die, and eventually we’ll all die.
To: SandRat
I like the idea of “follow the Israeli’s”. Nobody re military stuff is more right more often than the jews.
Seems to me just for one example that women might be competitive with men or even better on flying drones using a joy stick in a safe rear area office that’s either in theater or on the other side of the world.
Out ground pounding and hand to hand combat with other men in the trenches though is an absolute farce NOW and FOREVER !!!!

The number of women who would qualify would be so few that it would be an impediment to a military unit 2 half to observe gender differences in combat situations.
That would be an unnecessary difficulty to place upon the unit just for an occasional female who might be able to meet the standards

"I don't think that they should withhold the opportunity"An opportunity. As if the organized murder of combat is just a "job opportunity"! What kind of sick mind dreams up this stuff? Women have no place whatsoever in or around combat. They don't have the stamina, the testosterone/murderous capabilities, and the combatants sure as heck don't need the distraction women would provide.
No.
