Obviously, if you can give birth to a baby (watermelon), you are physically qualified to be in the first wave hitting the beach in the next Normandy or Iwo Jima.
I swear, snake eater, that most Americans are so brainwashed by TV and movies, that they really believe 120# chick cops (or soldiers) can deftly karate-kick 300# bikers to the ground.
This separation from reality is going to cost us dearly, the next time we get a “real” war off to a bad start, such as Korea 1950. This time, with women in the mix, to add to the panic of mass retreat.
But the PC feminist fantasists will simply exclaim that, “That kind of war is passe. It will never happen like that again. We’ll do it all with drones and lasers.”
We are going to pay the price for accepting fantasy as reality, before the next butcher’s bill must be paid again in blood.
Agreed. I weigh well over 300 lbs in full kit. Most guys can barely carry me. I can count on a female to haul my wounded ass out of a combat situation? I don’t think so.
I don’t know why so many females get insulted by the idea that they’re just not physically capable of doing these things. Hell, most men aren’t either. I understand combat can find women, too, it happened in Iraq many times, but that doesn’t mean we need to be seeking out women as front-line Soldiers.
Wasn't it the Israelis who tried women in combat? The men couldn't handle them being blown to bits.
