Yeah having them train with the male Marines is only going to make this worse.

Hope this works out though. I would love to be proven wrong.

How do you kill women and children?

Easy... You just don't lead them as much.

Might as well, we know sooner or later, in this bizzarro world where we ignore the obvius, lets just pray we never meet a true equal in battle, we will lose badly because of it.

I just do not see the point of this whole women involved in every aspect of military matters. They are a hindrance to mission accomplishment, the lethality of the military, morale, and can decimate unit cohesion.

There is literally not a single upside to having women in the military but more specifically in combat roles.

Most women join the military to trap a man, that is a fact. The American armed forces are weaker because of women being there.

I've come to find some of the best looking women in the US military are US Marines.

I agree. Bad idea. Men and women are not physically equal. As a woman, I can’t stand when I hear another woman talk all big & bad to a man. I’m very opinionated and tell them just bc some guys don’t hit back and almost all don’t even deliver one solid punch as they would to another man doesn’t mean that a man can’t put you to sleep if he wants to. One good hit and we would be out.

I’m the daughter of a Marine and there are many female Marines who think this is a terrible idea. Along with women being in combat.

To be fair ... I witnessed more dudes than women getting recycled or claiming bullshite medical excuses in basic training ...

Women make up around 15% of the military so that makes sense.

They aren't integrating. 1 all female platoon will be part of 3rd Battalion (living in their own squad bay with female DIs). It's only 50 or so recruits and it's not worth activating the entire 4th Battalion staff for one platoon.

It IS a false perception. In the sense that it’s not a perception at all.

I guess their reasoning is them doing x amount of pull-ups for their PFT (which they don’t even have to do pull-ups for their PFT) is equivalent to a male doing y amount of pull-ups. Which doesn’t help their cause because they’re still weaker than men and you want the strongest people you can get in your military.

Exactly.

Warfare is not a relative thing. It’s absolute.

A 17-20 year old male has to 20 pull-ups. A 17-20 year old female only has to do 7 to get the same amount of points. #Equality

In law enforcement, females train with men. They don’t perform as well most of the time but, the training is equal.

thats not the point, police and fire depts this can work but not in military where you must shite shower and shave in full exposed state to everyone around you.

you cant avoid sex or sexual incidents in those conditions

plus the police and fire depts are quite a bit different then the iron man level strength and conditioning training in the military

women and mens bodies are different, you cant change that with SJW feelings and desires.

women are just as capable at tasks as men are but when it comes to brute force strength and endurance, men are far better and can endure more. likewise there are times where complicated situations require mental toughness and skills where sometimes women have better patience and intellect under stress so they are better then men in some conditions, that is just the differences in who we are

I’m just making a point here. They might surprise you and perform well.

I know some female officers that can take care of business.
