What do you think about women in the military?

Question

I work on planes in the military. People usually look at me and say, YOU DO WHAT???

Answer 1

Say any darn thing I want, women have the right to what ever they have the ability to do

Answer 2

Good for you. I beleive women have a place in the military although my approval is not across the board.

I still do not believe that they should be in front-line positions or on ships. We used to have a riddle in the Navy, "What happens when you take 17, 18, and 19 year old kids away from mom and dad then put them on a ship at sea for six months at a time? They f***!"

Still, I commend anyone, male or female, ho makes the choice to serve our country.

Answer 3

We had a woman engine mechanic, a woman weapons technician, several women in security police and even one woman fighter pilot. If you can do the job, then do it. The only women I dislike in the military are the "poor little bundle of sex" women who try to get the guys to do their job for them. Fortunately, they don't last long. If you work on planes, you are probably pretty good at it. I know I respect the women at the unit I was in before I retired

Answer 4

The anatomical differences of the sexes does not exclude women from doing most of what men do. I have no problem with females in the military and doing other things. I wish this country was mature enough to eliminate the gender bias. The brain in each sex is only as good as the training it receives. Ability is not controlled by testosterone.

Answer 5

Sweet,
You keep amazing me. Do you work props or jets? I was AF long (kinda) ago. PJ, but my take not just on Women in the military but women cops, firefighters, paramedics, SWAT teams etcetc is hey "if she can do the job the same pay her the same, if she can do the better pay her more and make her my boss!!" Seriously though yeah why not in ALL aspects of life and love. I guess that's the sassy part huh? LOL j/k

Answer 6

I'm in the Army, and I recently had one of my Sergents tell me that women have no place in the infantry because they can't do it. I say that's bullshit! And I hate when people say "as long as they aren't a distraction from the mission, they're ok." When is a woman a distraction when you're in danger?!?! And, if someone is distracted by her body, is it her fault?! Absolutely not!

Women should be allowed to serve on the front lines. I think women have a permanent place in the service of our country.

Rock on!

Answer 7

As long they do their job I am fine with it and that goes for anyone in the military man or woman.

I know women that were just as good or better than working on heavy equipment.

So keep up the good work.

Answer 8

You do WHAT?


If only the rest of American society worked as well as the military in this respect we'd be a lot better off.

Answer 9

Women in the military are excellent because they can do what men do which is rare in the society.

Answer 10

You know what that's an OK job for women. The only thing that women shouldn't do is be able to go on the front line, or get sent overseas in a war zone, let the men do it. Im not saying that to be sexist but thats what I think.

And BTW I can't believe that they say "YOU DO WHAT???"
Thats rediculous! Women can't work on planes!? Come on!

Answer 11

I have no problem. I'm a AF vet, I have two sisters who are AF vets (1 RET) and a niece who is serving now. Bless you for working the flight line area. I was in Comm. I guess you call that IS now.
