U.S. military allows women in combat

Let me be upfront and warn you that what I have to say about this will not be politically correct. A passage from the report reads:

"The Army and Marine Corps, especially, will be examining physical standards and gender-neutral accommodations within combat units."

Why on earth would something like this be gender neutral? We only want the best defending our nation, and most men can't meet the standards - let alone women. The fact is that women are not wired for war; they are not as strong or aggressive as men. And, of course, what happens when male soldiers are suddenly fighting next to female ones? It complicates matters horribly.

I'm sorry, I don't see any good that could come from this.

[Divair]

Nice job USA. Good to see you working towards equality.

[Tiltjuice]

Which explains why there are no female FBI agents.

Oh wait.

This is why Israel doesn't use female soldiers.


Wait.

But what is the cost of equality, lowering standards for soldiers?

[Pope Joan]

Hey, I know plenty of aggressive women.

Meaning that only in the most positive way, of course.

Standards aren't lowered, there's no need to lower them.

[Nidaria]

This is bad, women should not be put in the way of violence.

Wait.

Granted, Israel has 2.5% of our population and is faced with greater threats.

[Pope Joan]

These Israeli soldiers can and will kick your butt.

Not according to Israel. Or domestic police forces.
And I'm inclined to side with them on this. This "females aren't wired for it" BS just hasn't held up in practice.

Your source says nothing about lowering standards.

It can't possibly be that you're just making shit up, so please show me where you are getting this information.

[Iowa the Nation]

Standards aren't lowered, there's no need to lower them.

The article reads: ""The Army and Marine Corps, especially, will be examining physical standards and gender-neutral accommodations within combat units.""

[Nidaria]

Standards aren't lowered, there's no need to lower them.

Women are not supposed to fight, that is the duty of men.

[The Tiger Kingdom]

The article reads: ""The Army and Marine Corps, especially, will be examining physical standards and gender-neutral accommodations within combat units.""

That doesn't mean lowering.

[Giovenith]

Good for them!

Doesn't mean what you're saying it means.

If there's anything I like about conscription in Israel, it's that it provides some level of equality.

I served with some women who I'd rather have with me than half of the men I served with. Also, this whole "women aren't wired for war" biotruths is a load of crap.

Write an angry letter to Israel.

What do you think it means? Do you think they will raise it?

According to...what?

Misogyny. Misogyny everywhere.

You don't decide that.

Where does it say lower?

[Nidaria]

Write an angry letter to Israel.

I dislike Israel enough with their jingoist policies.
