re: Women in Combat: What say you?

I challenge anyone to provide evidence where standards have been dropped or reduced in combat arms billets based on sex.

Dude, you are a damn moron if you think the standards haven’t changed. When I went through IOC you had to run the trail fyou saw in the beginning of Silence of the Lambs for a time. However, it was with 60 lbs of gear and an M16. Included in that run was the Marine Corps obstacle course. You didn’t have to run it once but twice back to back with that 60 lbs of gear. Sorry but there is no damn way a female could accomplish that task. I would say also I can not see a female completely a 25 mile hump with a combat load and crew served weapons. I also can’t imagine a woman being about to go longer than a month in the field with no shower and only MREs like I did in Turkey. I don’t have any friends in still that supervise training but it only takes a slight bit of common sense to see that the standards have changed like they did for the Rangers Course.

Unless the enemy is going to lower their war tactic standards to accommodate the women who are on the front line due to lowered military standards then the answer is a "Hell No".

I have been against this since it first began. I shudder to think of all the men and women, and warriors, injured, maimed, or killed because of unqualified women not up to the challenge and demands of being in a war zone.

Nope. As with other political hot buttons, "their body" has a direct impact on the lives, safety, and well-being of others.

I served with one or two that I wouldn’t have minded sharing a foxhole with. Most of em, nope.

They don't belong in combat. Hell, they shouldn't even be voting

As a veteran, I 100% agree on them not being in combat.

As a conservative human being, I 100% agree that they should not be allowed to vote. Too many "feelings" involved in their votes, vs weighing the actual policies and impacts on our country.

I also believe they should not be President/Leaders in large institutions.

Yes, there are exceptions, and for those women my apologies and appreciation...but as a whole, I think it is clear that they should not be voting, unless your political beliefs align with the radical left.

The trope is standards to assess to combat arms have been reduced or altered.

So you are saying women who want to be in combat arms have to meet a lower standard than men, it’s just the same lower standard they meet in the rest of the military?

You don’t have to go to ranger school to be infantry, artillery or armor. In fact the vast majority don’t.

I have a better idea, maybe men should stop being simps and propping up average chicks while empowering them.

They act insane because simps reward them for it.

Nope..

I imagine women could do OK with artillery, drones, etc...

I think the military is actively recruiting nerds for the higher tech stuff.

I heard women are crack shots. If they get a crack in the door, they'll be in. Not to good with vehicles though, too many crack ups. No more cracks about women in the military, this shite cracks me up.
