I posted this in the Poli Board thread. It bears repeating here...

I'd love to see how a full female crew of 19Kilos would deal with this.....


Or this...


Or be able to do this in under 4 seconds for hour after hour and days on end with little to no sleep....


Or be able to pull maintenance on this....


Or be able to haul this from the ground up onto the top of the turret, mount it, then set the head space & timing...


Hell, for that matter, I'd love to see them just try to work this without losing a finger or causing head trauma....


And finally, wish I could find a good picture of it but there's an engine cover on the back deck right up against the turret that is universally known as the "bitch plate". It get this name because it's a complete bitch to get back into place. I'd love to see any female try to get that fricker back where it goes.


Bottom line... women have no place on a tank crew or any other combat arms MOS for that matter.

I have. Quite a few fat LTC/COL Infantry Officers and SFC/MSG/SGM Infantrymen.

Not all infantrymen are light. Some are in Mech units.

Yeah except a lot of us in here either are or have served in the military. Unlike you.

Too bad there's only one Rhonda Rousey for every 1000 Amy Schumers.

Eta- 1/1000 not 1/100.

A) Why do you feel the need to flaunt that around? Nobody needs your resume.
B) Its funny you assume I haven't.

I don't feel the need to flaunt it. I feel the need to let you know you have absolutely no fricking clue what you're talking about.

No clue about what per se? That I'd rather a mentally stable and physically capable woman protecting our country than someone like yourself?

I would self-identify as a woman for every PFT and CFT

I think it's funny that you put mentally stable and woman in the same sentence.

How many women do you know that could complete a 20k hike with full ruck (around 45lbs) full flak (around 30lbs) and the weapon/weapon system?

I'm not sure but I'm assuming you are saying you can, being that you like to self promote and all.

Rhonda Rousey may be a world class UFC female fighter. But she's still just a 135 lb woman. She would get killed in hand to hand combat with the average fully trained and armed infantryman. And I'm not saying he'd beat her up. I'm saying he'd kill her, as in dead. Probably via a bayonet to the chest or beating her brains out (literally) with the butt of his rifle.
