| If it is deemed that women can do every job on the military then every girl in America should sign up with selective service to serve our country in her time of need. If called up, the military can determine to which of every combat or non combat job they go based on demonstrated physical.and academic or leadership capability. It only follows. |
If your logic skills approach your math skills, all my questions about your non-argument are answered. |
In a related thread in Off-Topic, someone pointed out that the men here were well practiced at this, whereas the women doing this were new. I wouldn't discount the value of practicing a skill. But please, let me not stand in the way of you enjoying a little casual misogyny. |
| I'd like a weaker army - it will be safer for all of us. |
This is from an article. I have no issue with repeating the test with women who are more practiced at dragging bodies from the field or making large marches without sustaining stress fractures. Is it misogyny to say that if my boy signed up for selective service so should your - in your opinion equally able- girl? To be assigned any role the military sees fit according to her ability to 'meet the standards'? |
Has our military (the army is a branch) threatened you in some way? |
Thankfully, Americans in the 1940’s did not have your mindset. You have learned in HS what happened in the 1940’s, didn’t you? Or, perhaps you have not taken that course yet. |

Please stop the nonsensical argument Mr. SecNav and all who peddle your battlefield gender equality snake-oil. Women as individual's preform below that of an average male. Coed units preform on average below that of all male units. The goal of our Armed Forces is to 1st accomplish the mission with the minimum cost of American lives then that of others.
The numbers and biology simply do NOT support your argument. Ground warfare is largely based upon "brute strength and physical stamina" in which the male gender is superior. Until technology reduces the weight of machine-guns, mortars, ammunition, water, rations....ect and the need to patrol countless kilometers day after day and week after week then engage in combat the Infantry and Combat Arms ought to belong to the male gender. |
+1 I'm a woman, who otherwise believes in equality. But, simply put, most women are not strong enough. |
And the biggest health threat to women is men. Macho male bullshit has resulted in the murder and rape of women for centuries. If a woman can meet the threshold for performance in combat there's no reason to keep them out of combat. Men who can't meet the threshold for performance should likewise be barred. http://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php?shows=0_vfhu9ewv |
+2 I'm the ex S.F. that posted earlier. Came back to brouse. This is a good point. I can tell you that the average weight we carried on missions was in the neighborhood of 110 lbs each. |
Because men feel protective of women and don't focus on the job at hand as they should. |
Thank God the founders of this country didn't agree. |
You sound a bit angry at men? anywho, I hope you get drafted first and put to work in combat . I'll sure they can find some job for which you are able. |
Pot meet kettle - sounds like you have some anger issues yourself. And stop being silly. The last time people were called up for the draft was in 1975. We have an all-volunteer army. |
