And how is she a hindrance if she can pass all the tests?
LOL.....falling back on your failed arguments again. Why don't you just stop bad mouthing the military. The men and women who serve today are every bit as good, if not better than those who served before them. They deserve our support and respect....not your blathering and bad mouthing them.
Pull ups. :lamo
Yes, the next war will be decided by who is better with a battle ax. :roll:
Give me a statistic of who many enemy casualties we caused and we suffered in hand-to-hand unarmed combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, since it appears many believe that still determined the outcome of a battle?
.....how long has it been since you spent much time as a single young female in the company of lots of ramped-up, in-shape 18-22 year old males, who were self selected to have a higher bias towards aggression and alpha-male typology and then trained to think they were invincible?
We had females come out to the FOB. It was the same disaster story it is everywhere else it is tried. The concept of team broke down as everyone tried to get laid. It's a huge problem in the mixed-gender units as well, both on deployment and in the rear. That's why they have to go to all the lengths they do on deployment to try to stop people from hammering away like rabbits.
If we sent our 50 year olds into combat :shrug: sure. Maybe. But our 18-22 year olds suffer from the fact that they are between the ages of 18 and 22.
Now is the part where (typically) the response is "professionalism" and my response is "reality - and in reality appealing to professionalism to paper over real problems results in more dead 18 year old kids"No thanks. I've said enough good-bye's to last me at least until I'm old enough that at least my friends are dying of old age.
Well, maybe those 18-22 year olds need to be taught some professionalism. Either that or maybe they are just TOO young and immature to be in the military at all?
You've never been in the service, either. Huh? Soldiers require constant adult supervsion and that's a reality that's never going away.
The view that the Marines consist singularly of ground assault soldiers is naïve and false. And hand-to-hand combat is increasingly irrelevant anyway. Are men inherently better shots? If not, then the complaint is nothing.
In addition, there are many situations where women would be more suited than men in foreign countries, given that men aren't even allowed in some settings, just like women are not in other settings. There are situations where women would be more persuasive.
One real problem Hitler had taking Stalingrad was German troops were limited only to men, Russian troops were not. Women served not only in front line combat groups, but numerous support roles too.
It has often been pointed out that whether it be Muslim or otherwise, a society that only uses 1/2 it's population are also those most impoverished and limited societies.
Women have some inherent superiorities. For example, on average women can take more pain than a man.
But, on the bottom line, the measure of a good soldier being the one who can do the most pull-ups is - simply put - absurd. Even for Marines.

Women in The Red Army served in all female units.
Are you saying they aren't adults?
Sorry....but despite what you and NP say, we have the best military in the world and the men and women who defend this country deserve respect....not the badmouthing and moaning that you guys engage in.
Pull ups. :lamo

I'm serving now, though not with soldiers but sailors, and I can attest to this. It can be hard to tell the difference between my shop and middle school.
The standards have been lowered so that chicks can pass infantry school. That doesn't create a more effective fighting force, but forcing everyone to meet a lower standard is the onlyvway Libbs can make everyone equal.
We use to have the best military in the world, it's been so dumbed down in the past four years, I don't even recognise it today.
They have actually pulling entire fighter squadrons out of the air in the middle of a week long combat training mission because the entire squadron has to attend mandatory classroom sensitivity training.
LOL....people like you are what bring down our military. I would venture to say that our military is better today than it was back in your day because it isn't filled with the same level of sexists and homophobes that it used to. Keep bad-mouthing the military Apdst....they'll keep protecting you regardless.
Sorry.....our military is not dumb. You do a disservice to the men and women who wear the uniforms when you demean them like that.
Here we go again....Navy Pride bad mouthing the military.
What a bunch of junk.
Sorry....but despite what you and NP say, we have the best military in the world and the men and women who defend this country deserve respect....not the badmouthing and moaning that you guys engage in.
Sure you are. You and NP both constantly badmouth the military. "Of Course"...the military was OBVIOUSLY better back in the day...blah blah blah......typical rhetoric....nothing more....nothing less.
LOL.....falling back on your failed arguments again. Why don't you just stop bad mouthing the military. The men and women who serve today are every bit as good, if not better than those who served before them. They deserve our support and respect....not your blathering and bad mouthing them.
