I asked a question about why women are not allowed to fight in all the positions of war that men are....I just did not know why...well, of course, some smart mouth man said "Go play with your dolls, war is a boys game"...Well, to him I will say: Anything men can do, women can also! But men cannot have children (not that you would want to). Also, women can get pregnant without a man nearby, we just need his sperm. LOL Some women are even stronger than some men! OK OK.... I love you guys but someone made me go here!

Many armies around the world permit women to fight on the front line, however most western countries (US, Britian, Australia to name a few) will not allow it.
This is not because women are insufficient in any particular area - although I would hate to see a women try and carry a wounded soldier from the battlefield, but because men would instinctively try and protect them from danger and therefore increasing their vulnerability.
I believe women play a massive part in today's military however I would not want to be on the frontline with them.
I'm not trying to be sexist, but this is reality. Some women are stronger - most aren't. Women can get pregnant without a man - but it is unusual.
Face facts love - some things are best left the way there are.
But all power to you.

Look Women Are in combat roles just not Combat MOS's personally i think women would be fine in most combat roles but society just isn’t there yet if you feel strongly enough about this please feel free to attempt to change it.
Just because your a girl doesn’t mean you wont be in the fight. Nor does it mean your weaker in anyway i would assume that this guy has never actually been in Combat to have an opinion like this i have seen even some of the strongest physically men in my life hold their knees and cry like children when fired upon its not wrong Combat is hell and if you let it get to you for even an instant it is likely to happen.

Sorry, lady. Some guys are so fantastically moronic.
You might also point out that in the military these days there are a ton of jobs that don't require the degree of physical-force type strength that men enjoy, and a lot of jobs that require more resistance to exhaustion, and high awareness levels.

Sexism, racism, and other Issues still remain rampant in the world we live. People everywhere will be fighting for some right or another for the longest time. I mean look how long it took to let women vote. Women had to fight for rights in this country that allot of people took for granted, Same thing needs to be done in every aspect of life.

Most Combat Arms/ direct combat MOS soldiers have no desire to have women in those type of jobs. So, it's not going to happen anytime soon. There is no need or desire for it, and the public will not get behind integrating those positions anytime soon either.

If women can do so much then why haven't they changed the non-support laws so that women can finally take care of themselves?
