I never had females in my units. But I saw the what went on in units that did have females. Trust me, women have no business being in the military. Or at least they should be assigned to female only units. And I don’t say that because I have anything against women or think they’re not equal to men. I say it because of human nature.



you are using anecdotal evidence to support your argument.

so no females should work in IT in the Military?



That or put them female only units.

Again, I’m not saying there are no jobs that females can do. In fact I think other than combat arms, there are plenty of jobs they can do. The problems though is when you put men & women together in units.

What's wrong with a little workplace fricky fricky? I rolled through a couple female servicemembers. Y'all are mad because you weren't alpha enough to get you one of your own.

Neither did I.

Again... I spent 7 years on active duty as an infantryman... I disagree with you here.

I could be onboard with this.

Overall I agree that co-ed units are problematic. However, 100% excluding all females from service would be dumb and a manpower mistake.

I chose BoB because it provides a visual reference to a true story of a C/O shutting down in combat and costing lives. It's a story that most redblooded American men have seen.

Everything you fear a woman doing in a combat zone is personified in Lt. Dyke

We also know he isn't the only overly emotional leader of Easy Company throughout that story.

Any male servicemember not wrapping his shite up is an idiot.

Women who get preggo to avoid deployment should have to pay back their enlistment bonuses when they are processed out. They should also be disqualified from VA benefits

I am former Navy. Served on Subs. We had a number of females working in shore repair facilities. It wasn't difficult to strike up a conversation that lead to fun off-duty activities.

it was more tongue-in-cheek than a serious argument. I totally agree it can F-up readiness when a female gets preggers. But I have also seen males intentionally break their arms to avoid a deployment

Could you provide a link to your published research work? You clearly are a learned man wiser than everyone else.


LINK

quote:

GAO found that: (1) the overall attrition loss for enlisted women was 48.6 percent, or 4.5 percent higher than the 44.1 percent rate for men, but the basic pattern of attrition losses for men and women was similar; (2) womens' rates tended to be slightly higher than mens' when measuring the intervening periods of the enlistment terms; (3) attrition losses during the first 6 months were primarily due to inadequate entry-level performance; (4) during the last 6 months mens' attrition rates were generally higher, primarily due to misconduct, drug abuse, or unsatisfactory performance, while women voluntarily left due to pregnancy; (5) womens' officer loss rates were less than 2 percent higher than mens', but the rate difference was greater for each individual service, except the Navy; (6) except for the Army, men tended to have higher officer eligibility rates after the first term, while women had higher officer eligibility rates after the third enlistment; and (7) mens' retention rates after 3 years ranged from 7.9 to 9.9 percent higher than womens', which ranged from 3.9 to 4.4 percent higher after 4 years, and, after 20 years, womens' retention was higher by 3 to 9 percent.
