Women in Combat.........it's Back

There are some tough ass women out there. I have a cousin who could probably kick the butt off of most of the male posters here. So sure, why not? Because if they're captured by extremists they might be subjected to inhumane treatment? That already happens with male soldiers and women in non-combat roles.

EDIT: shouldn't this be under the politics sub-forum?

When I was in, I served with some damn good women soldiers....but honestly, they were in the distinct minority. I would classify somewhere around 70% of the women soldiers in my "sphere of experience" weren't worth the trouble and I wouldn't trust in combat.

I also consider the upper body strength thing to be a big, honkin' deal. I could have hoisted someone bigger than me over my shoulder and carried them out of harms way if I ever had to. Maybe 10% (if that) of the women I remember could've done the same for me and my 6', 210 lb. frame. In other words, I was hardly a giant, by Army standards.
 
From what I understand the IDF allows women to serve in certain front line infantry units but isn't that done out of necessity? Israel has the population of Virginia in a land area the size of New Jersey surrounded on 3 sides by those who would wipe them out if they could.

I've never had the honor of serving and unless the continental United States is invaded by China in the next decade or so that probably will remain the case.
So I will gladly defer to those who have and who are.

womens have eyes for details, so i'd rather put them on logistics.
anyways nowadays war doesn't need any big muscle, with all those modern weapons, so i believe wont be hard.
just in case if they get caught they will be gang banged for sure, lol.
 
Hmmm...

I fail to see the humor.

well he might not have meant it to be funny. maybe.
but either way it's true. '
If we kill these guys, we'll get laid too!"
i think it will give any enemy more balls(for lack of a better word) during any combat knowing they are fighting women.
also, is this really necessary? don't we have enough men to fight?
also, the distraction element. any scenario of soldiers in a war. lets say there are 50 soldiers stuck out in some shitty combat zone.
2 of them are women. its a no brainer to understand that at least half of the soldiers will be trying to fuck those soldierettes.
i really see no point in this but I do see it for what it really is.
Allow them in combat, then watch the discrimination and sexual harrassment lawsuit roll in by the truckload.
then the media can have a field day and The White house can grandstand and spend millions "fixing the problem"
plenty of money to be made on this.
 
Jessica Lynch was sodomized while in captivity. And this is while she was in the care of hospital staff.

Imagine that happening in the badlands of Afghanistan where women are no more valued than goats.

Yeah, not funny but highly likely.

But lawmakers in Washington know what's best.

Years back I worked for a Yugoslavian woman that was handed a gun at 14. It was at the time of the breakup and she was trained if needed. She got out of there before shit broke out but her brothers fought. Tough lady with a body to die for.
 
I'm married to an Irish redhead. I'm convinced that women do well in battle.

what i load of fucking shit, so you are telling me that TRAINED soldiers in a COMBAT ZONE would actually be thinking about trying to get laid rather than doing their job and trying to keep themselves and their colleagues alive???

You have seen a woman before havent you? :rolleyes:

If a woman wants to be involved in combat and is judged capable by her superiors, why not? :dunno:

In 2009, Major General Anthony Cucolo, running military operations in Northern Iraq, was forced to deal with the serious downside of that reality. As a result, he initiated a policy under which troops who got pregnant–and the men who got them pregnant–faced a court martial and possible jail time. Cucolo issued the directive because he was losing too many women with critical skills. “I’ve got a mission to do, I’m given a finite number of soldiers with which to do it and I need every one of them,” he contended.

Yet consensual sex is only part of the problem. A military report released in January 2012 revealed a stunning 64 percent increase in violent sex crimes within the U.S. Army since 2006. The most frequent sex crimes for 2011 included “rape, sexual assault, and forcible sodomy.” The report further noted that while only 14 percent of the Army is comprised of women, they represent 95 percent of all sex crime victims.
