Does anyone find it wrog that women cant even try out to be navy SEALS??

Question

just wondering

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Well, no offense, but women naturally do not have the muscle that men do, but I do find it wrong.Doctors will even say that women do not have the amount of muscle a man has, but they are more flexible. But I will say that women can be tough. Another issue is willpower. Many people try to get in the Seals, but most do not succeed because of injuries, exhaustion, or they are not fit enough. I mean, if men had a hard time, wouldn't women definitely have a hard time also. I respect women, but I just don't know if many women could make it in the seals. Plus, I don't control what they do. Women should be able to join, but they just can't.

Answer 3

No.. See my other answer to this same question for the complete reason.

Why do you not understand that anatomically this would be a problem.

Do I need to go into explicit detail in the differences in men and women? Get you minds out of the gutter here people. I'm only talking about urination here. Women have a different standard when it comes to hygiene in the military for a reason. Infection is a huge risk for women.

Pound for pound women are just as tough as males. That's not the point. 115 lb female vs. 180 lb male. Same training. Who do you think will be more combat effective?

I'm female and all for equality, but this isn't about equality. We can not and should not reduce the demands we place on special forces. It's impractical and immoral to demand to do a job just because it's there.

There are many ways that you can serve this country and many ways you can prove just how tough you are. There are even many ways that you can fight for women's equality. Go for any number of them, but not this one.

Answer 4

I was going to join the Navy when I got out of High School, and YES I do think it is wrong, but i understand why, for one, women are more delacite, BUT I think any woman can do anything a man can do, also, when you get into a select team like that you become like a family, and therefore it would be as if the women were a "sister" and men are always to protective over women, and it could cause problems during missions.

Answer 5

Not at all. Just because you've seen Navy Seals or even GI Jane on the big screen, you can not possibly fathom what that job is like. Its not the place to be politically correct, that kind of stuff kills people.

Answer 6

Demi Moore did NOT complete SEAL training, that was a movie for God sakes. Do you think King Kong exists? Women in combat units would be detrimental because American males(at least my generation) were raised to protect women. In a combat situation, right or wrong, they would be a serious distraction.

Answer 7

Did you learn NOTHING from Demi Moore in "G.I. Jane"?

Demi's character in the film was in Olympic physical condition, enabling her to successfully complete SEALs training. Good for her. However, even if she is at peak physical strength, a woman's body is just not nearly as strong as a man's body at peak physical strength.

I was impressed that the movie showed a fair amount of honesty at the end. Her character was unable to rescue (i.e. pick up and carry) a fellow SEAL who had been shot.

The point is, even though a woman might be physically strong enough to pass the rigorous entry requirements to graduate SEAL school, it does not mean she is physically strong enough to save the life of another SEAL by throwing him onto her back and sprinting 100 yards to a safe area while under heavy machine gun fire.

SEALs are one of the nation's first lines of attack (not defense). As such, they often face enemies who are at their strongest. I don't believe we should risk the lives of those soldiers in the name of being politically correct.

Answer 8

Sure, but considering that 70% of the men wash out maybe the whole program should have some sort of pre-screening for both men and woman to save everyone's time and our tax money.

Answer 9

It is useless to ask this question. If you want the rule changed, then talk to your Congressman, Congresswoman, or Senator. It is Congress that has established the ban on women in combat and only they can change it.

Answer 10

Women should not be seals, rangers or infantry, end of story.

Answer 11

I think that it is wrong. It's discrimination if you ask me. Some women can do more then some men as well as some men doing more than some women. I think that it should be based on ability, not sex.
