              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Bear - 2015-05-02 9:56 AM I don't have a problem with women serving in the military, provided the same standards of fitness are applied to women and men, particularly in combat roles. I don't want to see women allowed into combat roles if they can't meet the same fitness standards that are applied to men. Actually, I can see where a brigade of physically fit women could be serious ass kickers, particularly if they all are synchronized and get raging PMS at the same time. Turn a brigade of these women with raging PMS loose in Iraq against ISIS and watch them run away like a covey of quail on the backs of their camels. In Israel, female conscription in the military is compulsory, with few exceptions......essentially the same as the draft.
You bet there would be some serious butt kicking, all the men have better get the heck out of the way LOL     | |

Vickie and others Doc...he's disillusional.
Bless his heart, he never knew what women, and girls did during WW2. From ferrying planes to working the plants to build the planes that flew, ammo plants, to keeping the farm going. Planting the wheat and corn, harvesting it, driving ambulances. And don't forget the nurses who were on Corrigador. While men went off to the many war's we've been involved in, the female's stepped up to plate to fill the void left.
Never ever make the mistake that women are the weaker sex. He doesn't know what it's like to push 7lbs. out that a little bitty hole....with no drugs! LOL
I've seen my daughter buck bales, bale hay, build fence, pull caves and anything else that needed to be done on a farm, then go in clean up and go teach a bunch of rowdy kids how to read for 8 hours. Come home, and do it all over again while getting a three course meal on the table! The worst thing she ever did was let her husband know that she could drive a tractor! By the way, she has two, TWO master degres!!
So Doc, don't tell me that women can't go into combat along side men. They may not have the brute strength to climb a wall....they'd just do it smarter!
I grew up during WW2 and saw it happen, how women and girls stepped up to the plate. I have no doubt they're tough enough and mean enough to load and shot to kill. .Sooo....where did you get your first hand imformation? | |

Lobo, please. I am very well versed in the roles women played in WWII. I know all the roles they played, and I applaud them....Rosie the riveter, office clerks, test pilots, nurses, drivers, etc.... One thing they didn't do was combat. It was as is should be. If you are so confident that most women are as physically capable to fight in combat roles alongside men, then what is your position on women conscripts in the draft? Since your daughter can pull calves and throw bales, should she be subject to the same draft as men and expected to fight in front line combat duty? Obviously some women can, and nowadays there are some that do, but what percentage?
My comments regarding the PMS regiment was an attempt at humor.....evidently it's not so funny, particularly if you as a reader, are suffering from PMS.
On a more serious note, I stand by my opinion that I don't have a problem with a woman serving in any capacity, provided the standards for physical fitness apply to both genders equally. I challenge anyone to come up with an acceptable reason for lowering standards based on gender. I haven't served in the military, but if I'm in a foxhole, up to my ass in alligators surrounded by the enemy, I'd much rather have someone there next to me who has had the same training and the same standards as I've had. Odds are that someone would me a man. Nobody can debate this. Women can squawk about equality until the cows come home, but you won't find as many chirping about it when that equality is applied to the draft and combat roles for women.
Now....if you want to talk about a man passing a 10 pound bowling ball out their rectum, I'll concede. Women are definitely tougher in that category!

Well, let's just take away all the doughnut and walk those bellies off on the men. You know, the belly where the belt buckle and holster hangs down around the pubic hair cause they don't make them big enough to go over their belly. Hand out mirrors so they can see if their tally-wacker is still there. LMAO | |

I have no doubt that women can pull their weigh in combat. They'excellent snipers, too. Ever see a woman head shoot a squirrel out of a tree. I say a head shot squirrl is no different than aiming at something more substantial. . I've saw an aunshoot four quail in a covey, out of an open window. {She only need four for dinner.} Covey never stopped eating.
Hell, women can already run 200 yard in 5 seconds,jump a fence, with a baby on their back, another in the oven, to catch a 3 year old in the bull pasture playing matador with a snorting Jersey bull. I guess men can do that too with a full pack and weapon.
Never met a tougher bunch than those women who served in the Isralia army.
It's a mans world...until the going get tough. That's when they call in the mean old *****'s to take up the slack. MAAHHAAAA

I agree with this, but it seems this department was sick of the fat a$$ doughnut eaters and tried to do something about it, but the women and their union want nothing to do with it.

But as I stated before, in drafting women especially 18 yr old girls (God help us), I think it will be more costly and time consuming to draft them, than what will actually make it and excel in boot camp and produce productive Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen (or should that be Airwomen). Why draft something where I feel you will get such a small % of a positive outcome. The way the world is and how young people are raised, I have to say I am a bit nervous about those young 18-22 yr old men as well. YIKES!!!

Obviously some women can, and nowadays there are some that do, but what percentage? My comments regarding the PMS regiment was an attempt at humor.....evidently it's not so funny, particularly if you as a reader, are suffering from PMS. On a more serious note, I stand by my opinion that I don't have a problem with a woman serving in any capacity, provided the standards for physical fitness apply to both genders equally. I challenge anyone to come up with an acceptable reason for lowering standards based on gender. I haven't served in the military, but if I'm in a foxhole, up to my ass in alligators surrounded by the enemy, I'd much rather have someone there next to me who has had the same training and the same standards as I've had. Odds are that someone would me a man. Nobody can debate this. Women can squawk about equality until the cows come home, but you won't find as many chirping about it when that equality is applied to the draft and combat roles for women. Now....if you want to talk about a man passing a 10 pound bowling ball out their rectum, I'll concede. Women are definitely tougher in that category! Anybody who can make the cut should be allowed to do the job. Black, white, male, female, gay, any religion.... NONE of those things has anything to do with whether an individual can do the job or not. Go through the process, training open to anyone who can pass the tests to get in and choose people with the best skills for the task at hand. This is how I feel. If they can make the grade, perfect. But as I stated before, in drafting women especially 18 yr old girls (God help us), I think it will be more costly and time consuming to draft them, than what will actually make it and excel in boot camp and produce productive Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen (or should that be Airwomen). Why draft something where I feel you will get such a small % of a positive outcome. The way the world is and how young people are raised, I have to say I am a bit nervous about those young 18-22 yr old men as well. YIKES!!!
Exactly.....it's a low yield proposition. Probably talking less than 10% of female recruits who can make the grade, physically. | |
