I personally see no reason at all why we shouldn't allow woman cant be in combat situations ive nown many girls who are tough enough to survive basic and even probably special forces

Yes, but just remember, we men have morals, one of mine is not to hit women, now I don't know what would happen in combat, but I don' know if I could bring myself to hit a woman, but when they are shooting at me it is different. After all, women and children first, that is a famous line used on the Titanic. and all this talk about innocent women and children being killed, I think women should have all the same opportunity's as men, and some of the things they said in GI Jane are true, about the Roman soldiers being horrified after they killed a women soldier that they all stood over her body and wept and were then killed by the enemy. I guess I am sick of women saying they wanted to be treated as equals but they don't want to take any of the consequences.

Hi,

hmmmm it was a long read....... took me half an hour to read them all ............quite Interesting though .

My personal Openion : I have no problem with Women Occupying post in Combat Roles

In the modern world.......there are no domains of work that women haven't delved into........ Words such as chairman and cameraman have been rephrased as chairperson and cameraperson........... to accommodate women.

Personaly i don't think it should be done to satisfy a few feminist and it should be a gradual process slowly working their way up.........There were Quite a few Problems when the women Were first Allwoed into the Male Domained Indian Army ...........it took some time for things to settle down for both the Sexes

One Problem that Men Complained of was their Privacy they now had to behave like a gentelman all the time ....( I guess Guys will understand what i mean...when girls are around guys do become gentelman ) ..........Slowly and stedily they Mixed in .

Well Sash wanted the opinion of other people people on the site, who are from around the globe, if women should serve in not only the US military, but world wide.

Quite a few Countries have been using their Services in the MIllitary ..............India is one ............India Employs Women in it's all Four wings of Defence Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.)

The role of women in the armed forces for a long time, was limited to the medical profession i.e. doctors and nurses........... In 1992, the doors were thrown open for women entry as regular officers in aviation, logistics, law, engineering and executive cadres. Thousands of spirited young women applied.........And I have heard the Defence Minister Quote a few times they they are experimenting with Women in Combat roles In Air Force and Army and they may be allowed soon.


In India All three Wings have Diffferent Policies Regarding Woman's Role:

ARMY: EME, Signals, Engineers, Army Education Corps, Army Ordnance Corps, Army Service Corps, Intelligence and Judge Advocate General's branch.

NAVY: All branches of the Navy (except submariners and divers).

AIR FORCE: Flying (Fighter pilot, or a Helicopter pilot, or a Transport pilot), Technical and Administration branches.

COAST GUARD: All branches of the Coast Guard.


Peace

I'm with Redleg on this one (why is that not surprising?) I too remember reading the Israeli study. Women can do the job but we men just can't handle seeing them hurt. That isn't a sexist thing, rather it is completely natural. It is way down there in the biology that we must protect the female at all costs. Nature made us that way not society. Society added the bigotry I've seen all too often. Worthiness is completely a non-issue so far as whining or whathaveyou. My mother is 100% Scot and she was tougher than my Marine father on us boys in ensuring that we stood up for ourselves growing up. My sister was the only girl in the family with four brothers so she was quite able to hold her own. As to physiology, yes it would be unlikely to find too many women who could do the kind of jobs Rangers and Special Forces do let alone infantry. There are many other combat jobs they could do but that isn't the problem. It is men's instinctive need to protect women that would be the stumbling block. Women can and are today contributing enormously to the military in many ways. Flight is perhaps the only combat role that would work. You get shot down well there's nobody there to stand by you anymore than there is for men until rescue arrives. There have indeed been studies that show women have the ability to handle more Gs than men. They also have a greater reaction time and are capable of keeping track of more bandits than men if I recall the study correctly.

women should be in the military, they are just as good as men.

a couple things that have probably been brought up that are my opinion

-women in the military is cool with me but not in combat

-society couldn't handle seeing them being killed, captured, tortured, etc.

-for the most part women are not going to be as physically able to preform certain tasks and that also means they can carry less equipment and might not be able to carry a fallen comrade to safety/medical

-they have lower training standars and qualifications, i would think about it if they were raised to meet the standards of the men and also don't have segregated training becuase that is another thing that gives them special treatment

-the feminists argue that technology has made war less physically demanding and it is more of a bush button war, bs. if anyone here has ran for a while with a fully loaded ruck then you know what i am talking about

@lynch- i have noticed that some people point to her when arguing about women in combat when she when her gun really jammed in combat and she was not able to fire

I would be very careful on voicing your opinion on what PFC Lynch rated and did not rate in terms of her decorations. FYI The decoration Lynch was awarded was the Bronze Medal without the Combat Valor Device. The Bronze Star Medal w/o the Combat Device denotes meritorious service.

As for Lynchs actions in combat unless you were there you can't make a definitive statement on what or what did not occur.
