I think the Marines just demonstrated that women aren’t cut out for intensive combat roles.
Women can indeed do special ops jobs.
But then you could hardly be calling them women at all.
They can’t. Period.
Women don’t belong in combat. Women don’t belong on submarines with men. Woman don’t belong in special ops.
Liberals want to make the issue about equality. It isn’t about equality. Male and female were not intended to be equal and they aren’t.
“already driven us to do some different things in terms of educating the force.” Translation: Either you accept women or get out. Commanders, if women don’t get into your units, it will reflect on your evaluation reports. Now, everyone is educated.
The Layman's Answer that regular "UNINITIATED" people can understand is - The NFL, MLB, or MBA are all Team Sports - there are no women and there is no ban on Women, they are just not able to compete at the highest level. Special Operations warriors are the ultimate team players requiring a certain mindset, passion and physical capacities.
If women want to be channeled into something special, try the NSA or CIA where the physical demands and the skill set women posses (deception) can serve them well in stalking their prey.
Finally, in Special Ops not all men fit on every team and each one's psychological profile and/or skill set will determine who is matched up for missions. Not everyone is interchangeable even among the best of the best
Right. The guys who do the job now are suffering from "major misconceptions." I guess its because they didn't take the Feminist Studies courses in college that the media took.
All you have to do is see in the real world how many women are playing professional football, basketball and baseball that pays millions to individuals, for performance and see how many women make those teams. - Tom.
That would largely depend on”The Job”???
But the vaginocracy has determined that there will be women in Spec Ops. For now they will be content to wash out a few, and not change the standards. Then it will be the next “war on Women/glass ceiling to be broken the training standard will be reduced and voila! , we have women Marine Infantry officers etc.
No matter that people will needlessly die because of them...
Sorry to get off topic, but that headline sure had problems. At first glance, I thought it was 'US special ops 'forcing' skeptical women. Perhaps it should have read,"US Special OPS Forces DOUBT Women Can Do Their Jobs."
I know it's a small thing and I am putting on my flame retardant suit.
Simple solution is to make it an ALL female unit. Males rely on them only in the minimal way, if at all—firepower.
I have no problem with women in the military as long as the standards are not lowered to push women in those roles. It’s the same way with a job like a firefighter. It is a job that has certain physical requirements so that the job is done properly. As long as a women can meet those standards, then sure, let her be in the special forces. If they cannot then sorry not everyone gets to be an astronaut.
Women just are not combat commandos.
I just takes too long to nag a terrorist to death. :-)
For the last phase of SF training.
I jumped in with 110 lbs in my pack/on me.
That was about average for our team.
We humped about 40 miles in difficult terrain in 2 days before our link-up.
Put a woman on that team - and each man load just went up 15 lbs.
They tell us that gays have to be gay, “because it’s their nature”. However, we’re supposed to ignore the obvious natural differences between men and women.
We will never have true equality in this country until the Democrats demand that all females between the ages of 18 and 55 be forced to sign up with the Selective Service.
