I agree... I would most certainly be punished more... in fact.. I would probly not be punished at all if I did so to a man and.... people around would probly cheer.
If however.. I did this to a woman... I would indeed be sued to death after my jail term if... if I survived the beating that the men watching would deal out.
I don't think that you or I would have it any other way but... you can't have it both ways... you can't be equal and not equal so far as combat goes.
If you were a man...you would understand that combat is two people fighting as much as it is a war.
This is fundamental.. it is a difference that can not be denied.. we are not at all equal.. this same mentality carries through to the military... it is a bad idea to put people in this situation.
Women are raped in the service and men are confused and the whole thing is simply a bad idea.
I think that there a plenty of jobs women can do but there are plenty that they should not do.
I do not want to pay my taxes for substandard soldiers or police or firemen for instance... women 99.9% of them are substandard in those fields and the only way that you can make them fit is to lower the standards.
lowering the standards may fit a PC touchy feely ideal but it is a rip off for the citizen.

Hi Lazs,
I read sincerity in your post and understand what you are saying and why.
I do so hope you realize, I have don't have a personal quarrel with another because they have differing opinions and believe you feel the same.
Opinions are opinions.
Yours are yours; I have mine; others have theirs.
I thank you for doing a service to women everywhere by being the protagonist for the views you put forth in our friendly discussions which, no doubt, shed light to many on an important topic.
I am seriously heartened by the delightful number of men here expressing their respect and support for women... and women in combat... and in once case, for their military boobs.
BigBMAW, perhaps some day you can have the honor of pinning a metal on a chest such as hers!
We can agree to disagree and we have previously found common ground on other related issues. I have your quotes. I never expected any more than that.
I like you and respect you and look forward to future debates on a variety of subjects. You speak your mind and I can not help but respect that.
Being a Moderate, I have views which are divided between Pro-Republican and Pro-Democrat... balance is the key, in my opinion... not too far to the right; not too far to the left.
It's time to throw out the Rupublicans to punish them for 8 years for the total disgrace Geo. W. Bush and his Republican Congress created. What a bunch of facist hacks they turned out to be. hahahaha What a big disappointment.
November '08 is on its way and I am registered to vote!
mmmmm...
socialized medicine... that will teach them to go overboard with that ultra conservative crap!
and lets see... oh yes, the hate crimes bill lets get that signed cause Bush and Co has ensured enough backlash to create the Thought Police, uhhh... and the coming vacant seats on the Supreme Court, to the left they go.
Oh, and make amends to everyone one we crapped on internationally who were once our friends.
I will leave your "mano y mano" threads alone... mostly.
hahahaha
I have no interest in verbal fistfights and forum brawling!!!
