Infantry - no.

Pilots - sure, especially drones.

Never eligible for draft, not even for support roles, volunteer only.

Having been in a state of hand to hand combat with women for years now, I think they are eminently qualified and in fact have strategic advantages that men cannot even begin to grasp or resist. They have a specific trap that is nearly impossible to defend against and they also are soft and smell good.

As my combat vet (Korea) Dad said more than once, yeah, that's great for those guys who are getting laid, but what about the ninety percent who aren't?

Anyone who even entertains a fleeting thought about women in combat have absolutely no clue about the military.

Nope. This is about understanding how inserting a young woman into a group 18 - 30 year old young men who have been selected, trained, and mentally conditioned to function effectively as a unit in the most testosterone-fueled, stressful, extreme conditions that humans experience.

Seriously, if you've never been in that environment, just shut the frick up because you don't understand how it works.

Do they have to sign up for the SSA like I did when I turned 18?

Our strongest women are weaker than all of our enemies male soldiers. We should only send our strongest and best. End this crazy wokeness.

100%

anyone who thinks women should be in combat roles doesn't know shite about operational readiness and their opinions should absolutely be disregarded as nonsense and ignorant.

It could work. Women have used 'violent PMS' in court as a defense when being charged with murder. If they synchronize their cycle the commander could check the calendar and see when they are about to explode. Then, give them weapons, point them to the enemy front and yell: 'Those men said you are fat, ugly and stupid! Go kill them!

As a woman, I think I should have the freedom to choose IF I want to serve my country in the military, and IF I want to serve in a combat role.

BUT, I shouldn't be allowed to do so by changing/lowering standards. IF I can't compete with my peers (male and female) then I have no business being in the military or any other field. I have no wish to be an AA/DEI puppet.

They don't belong in the fire dept and in most police jobs either.

A blanket statement like that is dumb. See my post above!

Ever get into an argument with a woman where you were right? How many times did she cry?

This is truth, but not reality. I can't think of any job that is considered a predominantly male based profession that hasn't lowered their standards to allow women to be hired.

I know for a fact the N.O.F.D. and N.O.P.D. lowered their physical standards to give women applicants a better chance of being hired.

Put them on the job, but not in actual patrol work or front line firefighting.
