It doesn't matter if a woman can pass the physical, or if she can carry you on the beach, if she's a better pilot than you, or can kick your ass in hand-to-hand combat. Shield maidens!
This is the argument the left wants, that some women are more capable than some men, because they know it's an argument they will win.
It's an utterly irrelevant argument.
Why does our military exist? At it's core, to protect our way of life. When two dissimilar cultures go to war, their militaries are expressions of their cultures. The more successful culture will win and thrive. The inferior culture will either learn or will either and die.
Our culture, our western culture, or American culture, has many tremendous values that have made us the most successful people in the history of humanity. We respect the individual, we foster creativity, we reward intelligence coupled with hard work, and our men protect our women and children.
Why do our men protect our women and children? Because cultures that cherish and protect their women and children defeated those that didn't. Protecting women and children, may seem common sense, but it is actually a unique and defining aspect of our culture, that our military exists to defend.
Putting our women, our pregnant women, in harm's way... what exactly are we fighting to protect?
Some women is a strange way to say a small fraction. Fact is, in the military, men are in peak physical condition for the most part. And those that aren’t are still more capable than 99.9% of women in the military.
The small number that can physically perform with men only do so at the lowest level available. There are MOS’s that women can do. But to pretend they are combat capable is asinine. They aren’t even capable of dragging a toolbox out to an aircraft in the hangar let alone on the ramp. If they cannot get it there, how in the duck is she going to carry it up a ladder or just set it up on top of the wing to do work on top of the aircraft. God forbid the hooker gets pregnant. Now you have spent money and time training a team member who is out of the picture and has to be replaced by another body who will require training. It damages troop readiness and capability while costing more money.
Don’t be a pussy. Women belong in the military, in hospitals stitching up men
All of that doesn't matter. It invites conflict.
Medical roles are an excellent use of woman to support the military.
It matters very much. Under the current leftist push we will lose men and women in combat due to women’s physical deficiencies. They are already in the military in non combat mos’s. Their push is to put them on the front lines.
Your position is one from 80 years ago. Talk about “none of that matters”
There. Your argument is dead.
A position from 80 years ago would be nice. Now all we are is leftists of 2010.
“Technology makes strength unimportant” is the largest galaxy I have ever read. Your hair is a bird. Whether you get it or not, your argument is completely invalid you you must rest upon “technology makes strength unimportant”
You are very wrong and I’m not sure what you are angling for. But you are wrong. We are done here Nicholas cage. Now go get your hair fixed
