Why are criticizing women who are in the military when you never served?

That should never, ever be the purpose of the military.

I'm going to disagree. I really doubt there is a woman that can truly handle the rigors that should be required to fly a helicopter in combat. But even if there is, it is still not necessary to put women in these roles. And it is proven that is has an impact on male performance when working with females.

Yet there’s been many and you’re judging one incident. Again it’s funny when ppl like you never served and have no idea how it works comes on here and run your mouth.

When I get on a commercial flight and I see a 40-50s white male pilot vs a DEI hire I feel more comfortable

So American Citizens can't have an opinion about the military if they didn't serve in the military? If women were removed from all "non-administrative" roles from the military... would the military become more lethal and effective or less lwthal and effective?
There are only two options to answer that question. If the answer is more, then why would we continue putting women in these roles they don't need to be in?

I haven't served and I defer to my friend who flew Apaches for the army. He thought female Apache pilots were on par with men: some good, some great.
I had many male pilots who never should be flying or created a god complex. I’m not here to defend this women or any but like anything in life there’s usually more good than there is bad.

Except it's physically impossible for this to ever be true.
Men are built for high stress situations with danger. To suggest women are equal to males in this regard is to deny the laws of physics.

Then by my statement, the woman would not fly.

Why are you criticizing politicians when you have never been one? Or QB’s when you have never been one? LOL

They serve everyday. Keyboard warriors deserve your respect, women do not

Human nature is human nature. Was there some specific insight that you have about human nature from your time in service that other citizens don't have access to?
We shouldn't need to put women in harms way and roles they are not capable of handling. It is unlessecary and shameful.

The problem with women is that in high stakes situations they don’t have the testosterone levels to handle the stress.

There was a woman Apache pilot I remember coming across. Nothing wrong with women pilots. There’s even a woman blue angel pilot. If they got the skills they got the skills

Because we have common sense. Thank you for your service.

I don’t care if it’s a Sasquatch pilot, I care that it gets to and from its destination.. meritocracy is the only way forward.

So you’re judging women who have been selected as some of the best candidates, spend many hours training, belong to the same units that certify and trust men, yet somehow they’re not qualified?

Pretty sure there is a right to “girl boss” in the Constitution. Nice try, Diddy.
