Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

Yes.

There is little serious doubt that women would be effective in combat; while there are obvious physical differences, training, equipment, and tactics can be used to exploit the positives women possess. For example, during house to house searches, a women is probally bettter at preventing escaltions. Being smaller might be of an advantage in certain roles, such as fighter pilot.

In terms of being able to carry out a wounded comrad, even a small woman could carry out another women, and would be easy to carry out herself. In a critical situation, most women have the capacity to carry quite large loads.

Technology has made physical strength much less important in the past, so that in most roles it's largely irrelvent.

Women should be in combat roles, so they may assert that leadership in other areas as well. The idea that women are in some ways "second class" is still widespread, as can be seen by wage and position disparites. Once women have held combat roles, it becomes harder, and riskier to treat them poorly. It's one thing to pay a women 30% less than all her male coworkers when she is a defenseless women, but quite a different thing when she was Army sniper.

Consider the 1960's civil rights movement. It became chancy to tell the combat experienced killer that he had to sit in the back of the bus, drink from a different water fountain, and have his go to a second class school.

To a certain extent, equal rights have always flowed from service in the military.

Therefore women should insist on being allowed to fight in combar roles.

Answer 3

Yes, women should be allowed to be in combat. The story that women are somehow too "weak", or "too sensitive" to handle combat situations is just a myth - shown by all those gang-banger gun-totin' gals in every major City (and some of 'em even use knives, instead). Those who are prone to taking offense at certain comments: Please note that I did NOT say that all gals in major Cities are gun-totin' gang-bangers.

Allowing women to be in combat might also reduce the number of actual shooting wars, too: If you want to keep the ladies from getting killed, don't start the war.

Men and women fighting along side each other could lead to the men fighting harder to protect the women - and vice-versa. And in a combat situation, there just won't be time for sex......

Probably the best reason to allow women in combat: They have every right to fight along side the men. When the men die, their children are left without a father - why not leave some without a mother? Those kids will still have their father...just like those whose father is killed will still have their mother. In each case the kids will be left with only ONE parent - and there really is no proof that mothers are always better than fathers.

Answer 4

In a country the size of the USA, you would be lucky to get a battalion of women ready, willing and able to go in o combat. This country has been brainwashed by Hollywood to make them think that Women can be front line soldiers. However Alias, Chuck, and all the other shows where women can knock out a dozen men at a time with out ever getting even a scratch is just fiction.
When it becomes time for a fight, all these bold women suddenly cower and find excuses to get out of the fight.
If it was easy for women to fight, then don't you think they would have both women and men register for the draft. Don't you think the military would welcome women disabling IED's under gunfire with such severe shortages of soldiers as it is. It is a logical idea, but women as a group are not that brave.

Answer 5

Yes ofcourse women should be allowed combat role in the military. I truely dont understand how after so many years of fighting for equal rights that once we finally have achevied some level of it that we would think it would be ok for women to not be allowed a combat role.
I have a great friend in the army right now and is amazing. Strong and so good at her job! And being a woman doesnt make her less amazing

Answer 6

No.

1. Instead, they belong in a kitchen. Or else an office, or something.

2. They lack the upper body stength, along with the voice and the psychological make up required to be effective warriors.

Could you imagine a woman screaming at a criminal to "DROP THE GUN!"?
He would laugh at her. Her voice lacks command presence.

3. War is not politically correct, and there is no "affirmative action" in it. If I meet you on the battlefield, hon, male chivalry is out the window, because of your precious feminism which you have demanded (you've come a long way, b*tch!), and you will be getting a hot white load from me before you die, horribly.

So, then, in conclusion, the battlefield is no place for women. Instead, let them remain in the kitchen.

Answer 7

Everybody who joins the military should be taught how to fight and use weapons. Even if women aren't in combat roles, they often are put into situations where they are near the front lines. They need to know how to defend themselves in situations where they could be captured by enemy troops. Otherwise, they are basically sitting ducks.

Answer 9

Yes. But only if they're strong enough to carry wounded from battle and get EQUAL training to a man. In the police force, they don't, and in training for the military they don't. If I'm shot I don't care what genitals the person who helps me has, as long as they HELP ME.

Answer 10

yes, because i think that there are many qualified women in this world for certain "male" jobs. just like presidency. there's probably thousands of women who can do the job better than Bush. evenly so, i think they should all have an equal chance into roles of that such.

Answer 11

Allowed? They should be made to. If they are in the military then they should do what is required of them.
