Perhaps there are some women who would voluntarily go, the majority would not due to family commitments.
Women in this country do not even have paid maternity leave, so a lot would need to change for the military to be able to be a friendly workplace for women
I know this is shocking, but not all women want families. If a woman wants to do it, she should, but they should not be required.
Some do, some don’t
There is no way that the military could ensure that a mother would not face combat.
Military deployment is hash enough on the families. It is even harder on women who have to leave young children behind.

I've never understood the fascination with women in combat roles. Just the last frontier kind of thing? I was in a combat role, most of the work is hard labor. The loads are incredibly heavy. It's less important that you're some sort of bad ass so much as can your body stay intact for 4 years. That's hard enough on a man's body.

Women in the military have paid maternity leave. They have for decades.

It's not fair to the woman having to put up with those "urges" you all feel can't handle....mentally weak men.
That’s a different topic. This is about capabilities relevant to the rigors of combat. It’s a no hope argument for you, although credit for trying I guess.

You’re a good troll.
Instead of talking about the reasons why or why not a woman would make a good combat soldier, you deflect and mention MAGA or Trump.
Keep up that's why we are here.....because you MAGA are trying to eliminate women from certain jobs even is they are capable like many are because yes you are scared of women. Sorry if this irks you....perhaps I think you are a troll deflecting like a true MAGA does.
Do you have a number for the % of women who can meet or exceed the male standards for those jobs, particuraly in combat arms?
Do you have a number for the injury rate for women when they have a combat load compared to men?
The second is a pretty large concern for those women that meet the male standard. If women who meet the standard are more likely to get injured, then as a military planner how do you address training their replacements (be they male or female), and build that into the training schedule such that the misson of that unit can be carried out without reduced effectivness?
Plus the disability that will be payed out for the rest of their life.

It's worth it to the women who want to move up the chain and for the most part you only do so if you've seen combat.
It’s not about the women. It’s about the mission, full stop.

You know, women have been c
In combat for years and it doesn't matter what you want. Lots of men have done it and most of them have been totally fine. what the f***?
Yes, I know that, but they are weaker and slower. Plus you’re would feel like, ok I have to bail her out if she’s in trouble even more so than a guy. I’m just saying I wouldn’t want to go into combat with women, but I know it happens.
Sigh. I feel like this argument came straight from the last century. Men who have trained alongside women just don't have these Hang-Ups
Real men
