Women degrade combat readiness. Men (and women) die more often when that happens.

Women win wars by getting lawyers...

that take the money from Men who win wars!!

The military can't be a lifestyle laboratory. People get injured or killed. The feminazis live a sheltered life and have no idea of what the real world conditions of combat involve. If they did they'd be less likely to push forward the nutty idea of women in combat.

I couldn't agree more. I do not believe that women belong on the battlefield. God made us different from men for a reason.

We'll really be in trouble when the Army has lactating regulations for transgendered men.

Seriesly, I've never known a woman who could do the physical work of a man. And I lived in San Francisco, home of many large ugly lesbians. At a martial arts demo, a coven of big ugly lesbians snarled, grunted, and looked tough as they tried to to the easiest task, breaking though a plank with their fists. Every single ine of them failed. LOL! Their fantasies of what they can do should not jeopardize the public or other miilitary personnel. Keep them out of battles.

Shouldn't that be "udderly" irrational?

[Burkeman1]

That is obvious. But this post caused me to think of that female American POW. I can't imagine what she is going through. I hope she is in the hands of people who are not brutes.

"Yet activists are still promoting lower training standards and co-ed basic training policies that disregard the safety of the American people for the false leftist idea that women and men are exactly the same."

I find it disturbing that this approach is still continuing. Of course, standards shouldn't be lowered. That is not even logical. We see the results with the police and fire fighters where standards are lowered for MEN who are overweight or cannot pass physical tests.

However, as a woman, I think women should be able to play a part in the military IF they can meet the same standards men can meet without lowering the standards.
Where that line is, though, I just don't know. Any ideas?

The military does not deploy male soldiers to combat who are not capable and who would compromise the other soldiers.

They are not going to deploy a 100 lb. weakling to the most ardous physcial tasks. This would be true regardless of sex. This is all the more true in a volunteer army. Likewise if a person has a specific non-combat skill that can be utilized, that person will not be placed in combat. They will be placed where they can utilize their talent or skill to the best advantage of the whole military. This is common sense.

The military places people where they can do the most good for the objective desired. I see no reason why that policy would ever change. Set the standards for the tasks required to be done and then apply them across the board. Real simple.

He's ABSOLUTELY correct.

Not a slam on women in the support roles, gotta love them there. BUT THEY DO NOT BELONG IN GROUND COMBAT.

Do they belong in the military?



1) According to The Washington Times, 16 percent of the female contingent on any warship are airlifted out during the course of a year as pregnancies become advanced.

2) In Bosnia, reports The Wall Street Journal, there was one new pregnancy every three days.

3) At basic training centers around the nation, Aberdeen, Fort Jackson, Fort Leonard Wood and the Great Lakes Training Center, extreme instances of sexual harassment have been reported. At the Great Lakes Center, five instructors were charged with gross misconduct, including throwing a mattress on the floor and ordering female recruits to undress. The only service to avoid sexual harassment problems is the Marines, which segregates the sexes.

What? Does this mean that Demi Moore can't really do one-armed push ups?

[goldstategop]

Have you ever seen G.I Jane? Its hard to visualize a beautiful woman getting respect from male soldiers when she can't even pull her own weight.

I watched the eyes of that female p.o.w. and felt the fear she probably felt. I pray they will return to us in good condition.
