Women in war

As long as women have enough fire in their heart to want to join any dangerous branch of the military, they should rightly be allowed to do so, or you are denying her the freedom of dying for her own country.

We, as men, should honor them with the dignity of soldiers, as our own ancestors did in The Great Russian Patriotic War, in the North American Civil war, the French Revolution, on Gandhi's War of peace, and countless other times where valor was in need.

These women will face the great dangers that lurk in the insanity of war. We should also make them aware of what war truly is, and that there are places where their gender could make them a target and whether they admit it or not, a weakness. And if they are called to go, they must answer.

Only if they're not hot. We should save the hot ones.

Sorry disagree.

If women are going to be part of the war, they need to be behind the action.

Why?  What happens if she gets captured?

Lil POW babies are going to come popping out.

When this happens, a whole load of BS is going to happen.

Women behind the front, not in it.

I'm sure all of the women with the strength, courage, and conviction to serve on the front lines thank you for your concern.

LOL lev

Cherlie are you familiar with the term freedom and all the implications that come with it?
You obviously are well aware of every single risk if you choose to go fight for  your country.

No one needs you to nanny over them.

animal... it boils down to this..  We don't need em..  we have plenty of men.  women in combat is a huge pain for everyone and for what?   we don't need em..  no benifiet for the cost.   PC isn't good enough.

I also believe that women doing mens jobs and being treated like men is bad for everyone in the long run.

Yea..doent it pain you guys to watch a movie KNOWING that this hottie chick is gonna get wasted? I'm like..such a waste... those genes need to be continued.
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Ask Shoshawna Johnson, 501st Maintenance, US Army, single mother, POW.  She was behind the lines.

If they can meet the same pt standards that infantrymen are required to meet, how hot could they be ?

I have no problems with women holding combat arms MOS as long as they are bodily capable, in other words they would have to meet the same pt standards as the men .

I would also want to stay upwind of them after about the first week in the field .
