Suspended.

woman should be allowed to serve equally with men if they want to.

do you think woman would be equally effective in battle as men?

 

[superblytrife]

If they want to be on the front lines, I don't see the issue with it.  
I can't believe Santorum could potentially be president.  $*%* is absurd and says a lot about the U.S.  Damn shame.  

 

[AZwildcats]

the women at my school seem to struggle with the rigors of driving an automobile, much less fight in combat

 

[vendetta]

I don't worry about women being able to handle combat as well as men. I worry about women who fall into enemy hands being raped. If they accept that risk then by all means go ahead.

 

[ar guy]

I see an issue when our physical standards aren't even the same.

 

[Nike Jordan]

Bye bye, female vote.

our own troops rape the women there. there was a news lady saying how they should "expect" to be raped and a politician that said something like what do you expect in really close quarters.

I was about to say that there is truth to this because we are physically different. But there are standards that soldiers have to pass and if a woman passes it then she's ready to fight. Strong men and strong women >strong men and weak men

word to Starship Troopers

[jd214]

He's right...

That's all I'll say.

 

[monstar1]

But yeah I'll take G.I Jane on my side anyday. Both sexes should be able to die for this country so I don't have too.

No, it doesn't.

We'd be the laughingstock of the world if we let women engage in armed combat.

 

[antonlavey]

I don't see any physical limitations when it comes to women being able to use a gun and certain weapons, just as long as the gun/weapon is the perfect weight/size for them? One of my friends this tiny vietnamese girl was going to work on dudes in paintball---women can be VERY effective in combat if they are trained to maximize their strengths

They are nimble, quick, stealth and can fit in tight spaces--women are the perfect assassins

 

[hugebird]

This premiered at Sundance recently, and they estimate that 30% of servicewomen are raped during their enlistment, and they are more likely to be raped by a fellow serviceman in Iraq and Afghanistan than they are to be killed by the enemy.

  I mean,  you would have to have a very butch woman to do this. Not a girl who is 5'3 110lbs. I mean, sure, gimme a 5'8 woman who is brolic and hard as nails anyday.
