Spouse Buzz ^ | May 9, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 05/19/2012 11:01:09 AM PDT by QT3.14

The topic of women in combat has always been a touchy one. Many feel that while women should be allowed in the military, they do not belong in jobs that place them on the front line. Others believe that women are just as capable as men and should be given the opportunity to take on any role within the military.

Given for some of what passes for “men” these days, I’m not real sure I want to be in a foxhole with either of them!

Many comments at the link.

The reason this is being pushed as I understand it, female officers are prevented from certain promotions because they lack combat assignments.

The qestions that should be asked is:

1. Females claim they are 'equal' for jobs, so why are they not protesting non-stop on the right to be drafted?

2. Politicians are pushing combat assignments. Why not the draft issue?

I think there should be several all-female fighting female battalions, cycled into the front lines according to when they are at their feminine meanest.

While irrationality is seldom a plus in combat, rage generally is.

They make nice trophies.

It's all about equality. Equal access to serving in the military should necessarily include equal opportunity for advancement, equal risk of danger, equal standards of performance (to include physical fitness standards).

If allowed to join the military, women should be required to serve in combat.

Any comment I might make will only appear to make me look like a sexist, when in reality, it is quite the opposite. I have such respect for women, that I would not want them to put in harms way in combat. On the other hand, who am I to stand in the way of someone who wishes to fight heart and soul for their country and its values.

NO, NO and NO! It is instinctive for a man to want to protect a female. Why turn two guns into one? Let’s not violate God’s ways AGAIN, shall we? It’s bad enough a soldier has to worry about being snuck up from behind by another thilly tholdier.

An Army with faggots and women really isn’t an Army is it? The Women In the Military Program (WIMP) is a dismal failure.

Depends on the woman and the dimensions of the fox hole I am sharing with the woman.
