USS Acadia (AD-42), was pulled off the line during Gulf War I because its crew could not man the ship. Too many women sailors aboard had become pregnant during the cruise.

Ahh, I remember hearing about her while I was on active duty... the USS Maternity Ward

No, the ban against women in combat was lifted in.. I dunno.. 1995? While 84% of women in the Israel military serve in admistrative duty, very few are in combat duty, and only 18% get weapons training. Denmark, Canada.. and.. hmm.. another European country have women in combat roles.

Ummm, and your point?

If you can't keep up with the subject, why do you bother to post?

Listened to G. Gordon Liddy today and heard him say to Col Hack that Isreal does not allow women in the front lines.
Also that since the US doesn't allow women is 'combat zones' they are joinning the millitary police ranks.....big time.
What in the world is this Country coming to!

I agree with what you have said.

Same standards for both sexes, and the toughest can go on.

I can keep with a subject, just not poorly worded (or non-existent) points. But then I don't expect much from those who think that it isn't "fair" that some think women don't belong in combat or combat support units. If you can't make a coherent point in EACH post, why do YOU bother to post?
