Should we expand womens role in the Military?

Women can't fight on the front lines? I seriously didn't know. I figured with equals rights came equal responsibility.

No

Yes

No

Here's a novel idea, let whoever can pass the physical tests do what they want.

Here's where good ol' Sturm gets all politically incorrect and pissess off a lot of sthensthitive people. (I know: shocker!)

I don't know if it's still this way or not, but when I was in the Army it was like this: The females of the infantry went on bivouac with the males. Wore the same clothes. Carried the same rucks. Trained with the same weapons. Whole nine yards. (For those who don't know bivouac can last several weeks, during which time everyone stays in the field. You eat, sleep, shite in the field. No one leaves until the exercise is over). Except the women. Every 3 days the busses would show up and all the females would get on them. They'd ride back to base, take showers, and return. The rest of us were left to scrub our nuts with pine cones.

Why did the women get to shower every 3 days? I haven't done the research but I was told that if an adult female doesn't wash effectively circa every 3 days then her junk will start to smell so strongly that it will bother not only her but those around her. MOREOVER: If a substantial group of them didn't bathe effectively circa every 5 - 7 days then their collective scent would be detectable at a distance by enemy combatants.

There were experiments in place re the logistics of providing ample field baths for female fighters.

Why do women wear perfume and makeup? Because they're ugly and they stink.

I bet she's a bull dyke.

Not saying that as a slight, that's exactly where those women should be.

There are certain jobs that will never be assigned to women.

Example: Military adviser in Saudi Arabia

The fact of the matter is that the life of an Infantryman is really hard on both the body and the mind of the individual.

How many Infantrymen wearing the rank of LTC or above or MSG or above have you seen that don't look significantly older than they actually are.

Now imagine a woman going through that same process.

The simple fact is that women have a shorter shelf life than men when it comes to certain types of occupations. The military is one of them.

The fact that they tend to live longer overall is irrelevant.

It will happen one day.

I'll consider the more deeply if you share the name of your Avi
