Not if they want to keep their jobs


Will this strategy of threats be effective at the DOD?


It’s not threats, it’s basic conduct. If there are generals refusing to work with SoD then they aren’t doing their job and should be fired. If you refused to do your job, you’d be fired too


+ 1

Those guys are perfumed princes, total political animals focused on their next promotion and kissing the butt of anyone they think can help them get that promotion. Whatever duty or honor to their Soldiers and to our country is long gone, except when they are on camera, giving a speech in front of people, or giving an interview to the media. Think I am wrong? Don’t care; it’s true.

Democrats want to send women to combat, it’s really sick.



That's what being equal means.



If you think a woman is equal to a man in combat, you are mistaken. - a female Vet who was attached to both Infantry and Armor units in combat.

We aren’t. At all. We put people in danger and don’t have the physical strength to be effective in combat. There are jobs in the military women can be effective at, but fighting in combat is not one of them.

Democrats don't want to send anyone into combat. Historically it has been Republicans pushing military action while Democrats seek diplomatic solutions.

But if combat is needed, Democrats do think that women are able to do the job alongside men, and should not be prevented from it based on gender. We still have a volunteer force (for now, at least) and nobody - male or female - is required to serve if they don't feel they are personally up for the task.


Democrats are wrong.

The ability to wage war and fight in combat is not based on personal preference.

There are plenty of men who are not able to do so. Combat Arms is one designation, Infantry is a separate category that only very specific men can effectively fill.

Infantry is its own special beast. Conducting combat operations as an Infantry soldier is not something all people are able to do. At all. Not all men, no women. None. Not an woman who is an olympian, not a female rugby player, not a female bodybuilder, etc.

Democrats are dangerous and should stop pretending they have the best interests of our military and women at heart, because they do not.

Women are in combat in the IDF and other militaries throughout Europe. Do you know who doesn’t have women in combat? Muslims.

You will never see a woman fighting in any Muslim army. Republicans need to admit they have more in common with the Taliban than the Biden administration.

Tammy Duckworth would like a word. You are all absolutely disgusting.


Tammy Duckworth didn’t exactly have a combat experience that makes a strong argument for putting more women into more combat roles.


💯

Democrats want women to be cannon fodder. They think that is equality. It’s not.

Women in the IDF don’t deploy to other countries and fight.

What European countries deploy their women to war in foreign nations as Infantry? Name and detail and cite.

Does the Us/ DoD still place Bible verses and the crucifix on the combat rifles and weapons used overseas?

Why does nobody discuss that Big Defense is one big religious tyranny ran by the neocons and evangelicals like GW Bush?

Despite being officially classified as combat soldiers, women in combat roles are not explicitly deployed into combat situations. They are expected to respond in the event a combat situation does erupt, but are not deployed to areas where there is a high risk of combat. The three mixed-sex infantry battalions and female-crewed tanks are deployed to border patrol duties and security duties in the Jordan Valley, and female soldiers are barred from joining the frontline combat brigades that are deployed in the event of war.[32][33]

Democrats don’t even have facts, they just make shit up.

Early Islam had a number of acclaimed female warriors. Looking at Western history, I can think of only Joan of Arc. Maybe there are others.

Another woman veteran who agrees. People just don’t understand what the military asks of you haven’t served. While “in combat” is a loose term because all military members could be in a combat situation when deployed, in any job, there are certain jobs in the military that should be closed to women for the benefit of everyone. But there are many fields within the military where women are effective and do the job well. Men and women aren’t equal. We just aren’t.

I mean, I still believe in equality - but also: we have entirely voluntary military service. No one is getting deployed somewhere without having known that is a possibility when they enlist. Why wouldn't women be deployed?

Give citations for your claim that European militaries deploy female Infantry Soldiers to fight in ground combat in foreign countries.

You claimed it. Cite.

I didn't claim anything other than I'm not sure I understand the argument against women deploying.
