Do youthink women should be allowed to serve in hand to hand combat in the military?

How often does that occur?

When was the last time a marine or army soldier actually used a kbar to kill something other then their catered meal? :rolleyes:

Btw: You can delete posts. There is a option.
 
Apparently she never used it. Notice how you avoided the question.

Also, she is one woman. Merely because she had such a experience does not mean all women should be barred.
 
Allowed to serve in hand-to-hand combat? I suppose I must be missing something here. Why would any soldier use hand-to-hand combat in anything but a last resort? And if it came down to that, I'd certainly hope the women would have some training to defend themselves.
 
That is telling it like it is Marc.......The left treats the military like a social experiment, and off the record senior military officers will tell you exactly that.......

During the Gulf War the USS PUGET SOUND a destroyer tender with a 1000 men and 300 women onboard was deployed for a 6 month period......

Upon her return over 100 women were pregnant......The ship was nicknamed the USS LOVE BOAT........
 
I do support women in the military, and a story about two women who wanted to get back to their old lives after leaving the military isn't going to change that.

Why not let a woman decide for herself whether she is qualified to be in the military instead of deciding that for her? I read the article there and I didn't find any good reason. Is it just because women have a more difficult time in training? After all, that is what the facts of the story imply there, that even if a woman wants to go through training to have the same opportunity to serve and protect her country, we should deny her that right. Or is there another reason?

That story pointed out facts, but facts don't just speak for themselves. The reasoning behind how those facts translate into the conclusion that women should not be allowed to serve in the military is still a mystery to me.
 
If you haven't noticed, the military is a social experiment, and I am far more conservative then you.

The US miltiary is the first military to use only voluntary troops on a wide scale. That itself is a huge social expirement. While most of the basic command structure is taken off the English system, how we use our military and how the people in it react is another social expirement.

It's funny how you say stuff from authority when you have none yourself and can cite none as well. I think you're making that up.
 
Yes treason, show how little you have to say Show how fundementally weak you are. Show that when faced with facts, you have nothing.
 
Hehe.. well, it takes two to tango, or in this case, make a baby... Perhaps all men shoult be fixed before when joining up. That ought to solve all the problems with rape and sex-purchases as well...
 
Well I hope its you and not me that enRAB up in a fox hole with a 5 ft 100 lb female that has you back in hand to hand combat.........

ReminRAB me of the 5 ft 100 lb police woman that got over powered by the scum bag in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago...........

Anything to be politiclaly correct for the left............
 
Your right it does take 2 to tango but the man does not get pregnant and leave the ship or his duty station forcing another person to do 2 jobs to keep up........
 
Old Army story - A training Sargent was giving a lecture/demo on bayonet fighting to a group of trainees and said, " If upon thrust your weapon should strike bone and stick, fire the weapon and let the recoil unstick the blade". Noting a frown on the face of a trainee he asked, "Any questions, soldier?".
The trainee replied, "Sargent, if I have any bullets, there's not going to be any bayonet fighting".
