Boy scouts? You really are the queen of cheap shots. Our military is exceptionally well-trained.

As long as all the qualifications are equal, they pull equal duties & responsibilities, and they aren't a burden on the divisions or squads they are members of, I only really see one problem: Chivalry. How do you train out chivalry? "Protect the women" is almost built into male DNA.

I see many problems created by women being in combat. Not "fraternization" or even "inability to be equal to the task", but problems arising because men of honor will try and prevent harm to women. I see a captured mixed gender squad being interrogated, and the men giving up information when the women start being tortured. I see male taking risks they otherwise wouldn't take to secure the safety of female soldiers and possibly getting shot or killed where they wouldn't have taken the risk to protect another male soldier.

Equality is necessary, but is it always good?

I would not besmirch the Canadian military. They have a long and proud tradition and have been the staunchest of allies from Flanders fields to the beaches of Normandy to the Middle East.

However, to extrapolate what the Canadian military does to the U.S. military and assume it will work out exactly the same is just silly. The size and scope of the U.S. military dwarfs all but two other nations on the planet. The sheer number of troops in various combat situations is really not comparable.

Again, I'd have much less of an issue with it, anyway, if the requirements for service were the same for men and women. Heck, lower the ones for men if you want to and allow more males in if that's what you really want--but they should be the same.

Another poster seemed to think that the number of pushups one could do didn't necessarily have any bearing on how good of a soldier they were. Fine, then allow men lower requirements. If a good soldier only needs to do 13 pushups, then why can't men who can only do 13 pushups be just as good as a female who can only do that many?

Is that why there is so much domestic violence? Because chivalry and the urge to protect is built into the male DNA?

you're obviously not american--the reason we have so much domestic violence is because for decades we have no longer been raising men--instead, we've been raising little boys and little girls with little to zero emphasis on honor and personal responsibility--raised like cattle instead of being to raised to do what's right and honorable for its own sake rather than to satisfy some expedient desire

Another example of how the administration is weakening our military and exposing our country to a hostile takeover.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

There is no hostile takeover. The takeover is happening from within by our own POTUS and leaders.

Well, yes, yes it is.

You are the one who said how great they are.

LOL! Fit women are attractive. Maybe you think frail, pudgy ones are, but I beg to differ.

If they can do what those men do then they are much more likely to look manly than pretty and fit.

How would taking guns away from law abiding citizens keep guns our of the criminal's hands?

ROTFLMAO! So it can't be that hard to find just one, can it? Maybe you can enlist some of your buddies and make a game of it.

After all, if "just about all my posts are full of Muslim sympathy", it should be a piece of cake. Just one.

You won't find a single one, however.

Your white-knuckled grasp on reality is tenuous, at best.

IMHO, this is a fake posed picture. That gun would knock a lot of men on their a$$. The recoil alone would break her shoulder without a mount.

I do believe I said it was "almost built in". Males that want to beat women are the exception rather than the rule, at least in western society.

Exactly this. And also why I qualified my earlier remark, in the middle of my second paragraph, with "men of honor", thereby obviously excluding those without any.

I agree with you that the picture is posed, but the recoil from an M-16 (which that appears to be, outfitted with an M-203 "under barrel" grenade launcher) is not as bad as many people think.
