Figuring 80% of high school graduates, don't quality to enlist, because they're either physically or mentally deficient, I would say more than ever they need too be. The obesity rate and physical fitness, is an atrocity. In fact most of these parents should be charged with neglect and child endangerment, for the way there kids health is. Let alone their Maths and Science's are at about a 7th grade level, on the average leaving high school.

Seperate living facilities for women are very expensive. Women can't always do their share of the work (they can shoot the rifle but can they load and unload boxes of ammo from the truck?).

A military unit is built on male bonding. Women interfere with that.

The platoon's position is untenable and the platoon needs to retreat. But the women in the platoon are not strong enough to hike thirty miles in six hours with full packs. Do we leave them behind to be killed or captured (and probably raped?). Do we make the men arry their packs? Do they abandon their packs and sleep outside in minus 3° weather?

For so many reasons women should not be allowed in the military, medical personnel excepted.

Seriously. It seems that some people think all women are fragile, weak creatures. I know several women who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not exactly weak creatures. And I also know a guy who was discharged because he had gluten allergies.

Last year in Sturgis a buddy of mine and I walked up to Tittie Alley, the main drag through the campground, and it was all a**holes and elbows. There was a hot little piece of a** on her bike and she'd burn off her tire every once in a while. As she was in the middle of a burnout, a guy walked over and flipped her kill switch and walked off. Cool as a cucumber, she put down her stand, walked over and popped that f**ker right in the mouth...it was hilarious!

1. Lower Standards
The standards set by the military to join are completely different for men and women. The standards set for men are much higher and more strict than those set for women. While they may be capable, there is no way that a women could be as physically able as men of the same positions.

2. Ethical Problems
Placing women in areas that are majority male could put them at risk for sexual assault and harassment. Especially in combat areas. This would raise an entirely new world of problems in an unnecessary environment.

3. A Likely Target
Many of the combat zones that the United States military is deployed in are misogynistic societies that do not respect or fear women. This makes women soldiers at a much higher risk of being captured, tortured, raped, or killed.

4. Swayed Focus
Men instinctively want to protect women. Placing them in areas of high risk and danger could cause these men to become unfocused from goal of their mission in order to protect the women.

5. Relationships Forming
It is not secret that when you place young men and women together, especially in the intimate conditions of war zones, relationships will form. This can make life very uncomfortable for people interacting and dealing with couples that have formed in their groups.

The Mongol princess Khutulun didn’t just wield a sword at her father’s side on the battlefield, she was also famous for fighting off male suitors… literally! The daughter of the Mongol ruler Kaidu, who presided over a vast realm stretching from China to Afghanistan between 1280 and 1301, Khutulun became the king’s chief military adviser in his war against Kublai Khan of China. Despite his daughter’s celebrated martial proficiency, Kaidu ordered the young princess to settle down and get hitched — mostly to quash rumours that the two were incestuously involved! Khutulun agreed, but demanded that any suitor must first take her on in hand-to-hand combat — the first challenger to prevail would win her hand. To up the ante, vanquished opponents would have to pay the princess a fine of several dozen horses. She supposedly fended off as many as 100 amorous contenders and amassed a small fortune in the process. Undefeated, Khutulun eventually did agree to marry, although who she chose or why remains unclear. Some say it was out of love. Others suggest it was to protect her father’s reputation. Kaidu supposedly wanted the throne to eventually go to his favourite daughter, however one of the king’s 14 sons rose to claim the throne following the ruler’s death in 1301.

Yes, I was a miltary policeman in the Marine Corps, 1973-76. They were just beginning to allow women in the MPs at that time. They wisely did not allow any of them to go on patrol with us, because our main job was wrestling drunks, and women couldn't do it.

Do you ever watch Law and Order/SVU? Notice how the character Olivia Benson flips men three times her size around like they were made of feathers? That doesn't happen in real life---ask any cop.

Once the Femanist movement took as stand that there were no physical difference between a man and a Women, they lost me and many more women..

No one can deny there are differences.. Just look at all the transgender MEN beating all the REAL women.. Why?

Women have a role.. Bigger roles because of Social groups promoting women's rights..

The Social Movement Groups just have to stay honest and admit there are things a man can do physically that women cannot.. And there probably are mental things men can do that women can't, but I don't think its many..

YES they belong in APPROPRIATE positions within the Military...

Women "belong" anywhere they qualify to be.

Nobody "belongs" anywhere. That's to start with.

As for what I know the real intent of the thread is, I would remind everyone what the true role of the military actually is.

It isn't to provide jobs, it isn't to give certain people a chance to prove how tough they are, and it isn't to play political games for either national or international politicians' betterment.

It is to defend the country from physical harm from other countries militaries. That means that when some other people start killing our people, these military folks take on the job of dealing with them. If you don't have any first hand or even second hand understanding of what warfare on any serious level is about, then good for you for being so lucky. But don't open your mouth, or start typing on your computer to make declarations about who should or shouldn't be in the military, because you are too ignorant to have a valid thing to say.

Warfare is about the physical destruction of societies. Every part of them. Women, children, civilians and soldiers alike. Because it's about everyone being in mortal danger, that means that everyone will be involved in the military in time of war, whether they think it's "appropriate" or not. So as far as I can reason out, since everyone in a society IS involved, everyone should be able to participate in the society's defense.

I think if we are going to allow women in the military then we should force them to register for the draft.

I don't always agree with you, but this is one of the times I do.

Well articulated.
We ALL have and play a part in times of war.

No one is excempt.
Albeit different degrees and facets for various reasons.
