Should Women be allowed to serve in hand to hand combat in the military?

What, you don't remember filling out that form? Multiple orgasms sounded nice, but perioRAB and pregancy made it seem like a bad tradeoff so I went for the higher paycheck. Didn't you get to choose? How barbaric!
 
SounRAB good to me....I apologize for getting a little upset when we first met....I was wrong.........I guess sometimes I am little over the top about my political beliefs but as you can tell I am very passionate about them....I l ove this country and sometimes am very disappointed to see the way it is going.....

I have know Missouri Mule for a couple of years and he is a good guy and very strong on his conservative beliefs.......We email each other all the time and I am trying to get him to return here.........
Scummy, JP Sartre and I are trying to get him to come back......

Take care my friend...Keep fighting the good fight........
 
Ask Jessica Lynch what??? ROFLMAO I would like her to tell you exactly what she thinks about youre posting and bringing her name into this. She was quite upset about the government making a hero out of her and lying to try and use the news to influence the american public.
 
Truthsayer,

I am a woman and a liberated one, I like to think. If someone is going through a door and they hold it for me, I think that is polite and it could and should be either a man or a woman. If I'm there first, I'll get the door and vice verse.

Is there much hand-to-hand combat anymore? If so, I can think of many women who could handle it. Women trained in the martial arts can do amazing things. Women can shoot as well as anyone also.

Even if we only allow them in support services, I think the recent Middle East conflicts have shown that they have to be able to protect themselves and their units as well. I would rather they got the training and not need it than not get the training.

So I vote a big "yes" for being polite and for training women to be self-sufficient and dependent on no one but delighted to accept kindness and civility. :)
 
I think that if a woman was to go into combat with male soldiers there would be a lot of extra pressure on the men.

Could you imagine a male soldier watching a female soldier get captured and possibly raped and not storming in to rescue her therefore putting the rest of his battalion at risk ?

We would end up with a lot of dead soldiers and the females would still be raped before they were executed so the guys died why?

No i defo don't think that women should fight alongside men.
 
You in a fox hole? Hard to imagine! But being a big fat slob you would make an easy target! The Viet Cong were small and many of them women and nevertheless beat the crap out of the yanks all the way to Saigon!
 
Well it doesn't matter if the person beside you that weighs a 100 pounRAB is male or female!! It's how much heart they have.

And I think there are a lot of 100 pound males in the military that would get their ass wooped by my ex.!!!!!
 
Good point. Why discriminate on the basis of sex when you can discriminate perfectly fairly on the basis of qualification? If women can meet the requirements, let them serve on the front line. If not, then they can serve in a support capacity.
 
What is the definition of a fighting woman?

The definition of a fighting man?

I realize I'm leaving this wide open for snide little jokes, but it's legit.

My sister could pin down her husband and make him cry uncle...and there was nothing puny about him at all.

I work with a woman that few men here would bet against when it comes to rigging and moving heavy equipment.

It's all about the situation and if you (he or she) is able to do it and do it well, despite the circumstances.

Yes, women and men should be allowed to fight alongside each other if they are equally matched.
 
Women have served gallantly in Iraq......I don't think anyone is denying that and if a woman can pass the same physical requirements that a man has to pass then I don't have a problem with the serving in combat.....My problem is with the women who can't do that......
