The physical differences aside, men are instinctively “protective” of women...It has been this way forever...It is a born instinct...A combat warrior may have trouble keeping his focus where it should be because of the very presence of a woman...It is something that really can’t be helped.
That protective instinct can and will prevent a combat team from focusing ENTIRELY on their objective....
I’m an Army Vet and women do NOT belong in direct combat. I was in a supporting role for many years; moving bullets, beans and gasoline up to the front lines. That was MORE than enough, thank you!
It’s a different world today and our current enemies are sneaky, blood-thirsty, brainwashed savages. Nuke them from above and be done with it!
Word.
That is true. Israel tried this in the late 40's and early 50's. It didn't work then and it won't work now.
Besides the knee and back injuries, there are the internal problems, such as prolapsed uterus' due to the extreme physical demands that combat might make, just to name one.
The only way women make it into open combat is by lowering standards.
And few women can compete at a male standard of endurance. They get washed out of training.
Feminist dogma simply can’t compete with the fact women can’t do some jobs because they call for strength/endurance/fitness levels that are far above their pay grade.
Denying reality doesn’t change the point that some jobs aren’t open to women for sound reasons that have nothing to do with sex discrimination.
But try explaining the facts of life to the Left.
People keep falling back onto the physical standards. That's the hard stuff.
How about we start with the easy stuff: all women in the military get high and tight haircuts.
Then I'll take all this equality BS seriously.
Sexism.
Republican candidates can easily throw a lug wrench into this disaster by quietly pledging to “restore the military with a focus on mission accomplishment, and no longer to encourage, support, require, or demand further experimentation or social engineering with the lives of our service members.”
Behind the scenes this means to throw out the homosexuals, freaks, deviants, *and* those that supported and support them, to make all combat occupations male only, with strict limits in combat support roles.
It also likewise means to make a revision to the UCMJ about all issues concerning such people, making its purpose once again to be all about “the maintenance of good order and discipline in the military.”
Thank you, my FRiend. I’d wager the vast majority of women in the military feel exactly as you, many years ago Mrs. jaz was a WAC and she feels the same.
There is only one way to have women in combat. Make sure it’s an all female company. That might work out well. I believe women can be equally as lethal as men, I just don’t want 1000s of years of inherrited response to get our guys killed when a female gets taken out. Also could you imagine the psyops win when an all female company takes out a bunch of muzzy dirt bags?
Bull$#!t They feel what makes them special is being damn good at their jobs.
One would hope that among sane, rational, people the toughest part would be actually fielding a combat force that comes anywhere close to what the current/past forces were capable of in individual combat.
But these are not sane, rational people, and neither are their goals.
Well said! You nailed it and it comes from the current CinC and his handlers on down to his appointed lapdogs.
Neither the President nor the SecDefense has ever served a day in uniform.
They hate the military and want to transform it into another social service agency.
You have to be dumb, deaf and blind not to appreciate where they’re going.
How about the Administration and Congress in combat? Regardless of age or gender, how about sending all of DC to Afganistan for a dose of reality as to their rules of engagement and what it takes to win when politicians play games while sitting in their cushy offices paid for by the American people??
NOT sane??
Really?
The Female warriors will be rough and tough lesbians-
Trained in hand to hand combat by the likes of
Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner— psyops taught by Dennis rodman-
how to infiltrate rear areas by GENERAL! Robbie Bergdahl-
how can you say not sane-
LOL-SARC
This country is really being taken over by the leftists
