How many women were raped or pressured into sex by superiors? Women do not belong in the armed services in my opinion.

Lol! Such a graceful and Ladylike throw.
As though she’s tossing her scented hankie to the danceroom floor so a Beau can pick it up for her.

Women are going to bleed the military budgets dry, not only with their female and mom stuff on base, but with the disability pensions, and they will just take over the VA hospitals.

Not only that, testosterone does more than make muscle. It makes you aggressive.

I was thinking about nurses and whatnot, something away from the frontlines. I mean I’m sure there’s some competent and capable women who can do many things, but keep them out of combat. Men are suppose to be the protectors of women. That’s just the natural order of things. What kind of man would want to send the ordinary woman into combat. They must hate women or something.

Well, the only logical solution is to cancel Boot Camp and give everyone their stripes when they sign up.

Well, let’s lower the standards so the training is not as intense. Maybe we can award medals for the fastest nail polish applier in a unit.

Absolutely. And that dose of testosterone does matter. Combat veterans I have known are aghast at the concept of women in combat. And it isn’t because women aren’t smart or capable in a variety of aspects. It isn’t sexist or misogynistic in origin or nature.

It is that in combat, the margin for success or failure, living or dying is razor thin.

And it isn’t just that the female next to you might get killed or incapacitated, it increases your chances of suffering the same fate, both of which endanger the mission.

Biden’s feminization of our military is disgusting.

Looking back on my Airborne days in the 70’s, when woman were ( as an experiment) allowed to go to Airborne training at Ft Bennington, resulted in the large majority taking 5 up to 8 weeks to “ graduate “. Their wash out rate was appalling, 3 weeks for men’s graduation and wings- 5-8 weeks for those few ( very few) woman that would not quit…..

I have to admit, I have never thought for a second about that aspect of things. But that has to be true.

I was at Fort Hood once many, many years ago watching 4 male soldiers built like linebackers struggling to get a track tensioned with a six foot wrench.

Now image a 120lb female soldier tying to do that or humping 70 lb tank rounds.

The whole thing is ludicrous.

Air Force Core Value - Integrity First:

"Integrity is essential. It is the inner voice, the source of self-control, the basis for the trust that is imperative in today’s Air Force. It is doing the right thing when nobody is looking."

Unless you're female. You can still claim integrity despite your Physical Fitness Test (PFT) being far easier than that of your male counterparts.

No thank you. It’s informative posts like yours being the reason I come to Free Republic. I like to learn something new every day and there’s a lot of posters here who know way more about these various political subjects than I do and I learn from them every day. It’s kind off how I justify my wasting so much time on the internet lol. I say to myself well at least I’m learning something new if nothing else.

It makes you aggressive.

There is virtually no defense against a strong, Christian young man. Physical strength pales to the strength of a properly instructed Christian man. Amen.

The sad truth- my strong young Christian man no longer has any desire to enlist in our military. Sacrificing for an immoral, godless, senile old man sitting in the White House has consequences.

America is in deep, deep trouble.

Stripes! Not even. Give them 4 stars with a fifth after finishing basic.
