Should women be allowed combat role in the military?

Question

please logically evaluate your question and write a valid argument please tell me whats on your mind??

Answer 1

Someone wants to take my freedom? I'll do what it takes to fight for it. Woman or not.

Answer 2

There is an interesting and true line from the second Lord of the Rings movie that sums up my feelings (I'm paraphrasing here): women who do not learn how to use the sword can still die by them.

If nothing else, women should be trained in some form of combat for their personal safety. When women are subjigated and not allowed to study or protect themselves, invaders/the enemy will know this and take full advantage, to put it as delicately as possible.

I know one of the big arguments about women not serving is because they may be raped by their fellow soldiers. Rape is not about sex -- it's about power and control, done by those too brutish and ill-educated to behave in a humane manner. A dirty little secret in the military is that men can -- and have been -- raped as well. Blocking women from being in the military will not solve that.

Answer 3

Yes for woman are just as mentally and physically fit in the military to do the job. I was in the Army and believe me when I say they should and some already do like the military police, truck drivers and other support M.O.S's. I think they should be allowed infantry jobs after all woman can be so much more vicious than men when the situation calls for it. For the idiot that thinks woman are too weak for the job, woman recover from and forget pain so much faster than men do or each on would only ever have one child.

old dog-
Recent anthropological studies have shown that as recent as the early bronze age that woman not only hunted next to their men but fought beside them as well. Not only that but it is also a fact the Mongolian step tribes woman till this day train with the men in warfare. The problem doesn't lie in inbred instinct it lies in social and religious misgivings

Answer 4

These days, we have atheltic sports where the women competitors are as strong as their male counterparts - body building, wrestling, weight lifting. If the woman is physically able and can withstand the pressures of combat and torture if captured by the enemy, and she is willing to join this role, realistically I don't see why not.

Answer 5

Only the most able-bodied applicants for combat roles should get them. Some women, however few of them there are, are deserving of those roles.

Answer 6

Yes, I think so. Aiming machine guns or throwing grenedes transcends all gender barriers. Also navigation systems on board bombers are controlled equally by both genders. Targeting systems should be handled just the same. Perhaps certain special forces units may actually be primarily male but we're talking about the military in general here.

Answer 7

I don't believe in fighting but I do believe in equality. If women want to be in combat why should they be different then men? You can't go to a combat zone and worry about your hair and things like that. It would get in the way and might cost lives. But I doubt women who want to go in to combat will be like that.

Answer 8

It is the 21st Century I don't see any reason that women should not partake in any combat roles that men do. That said I could not think of anything worse than fighting.

Answer 9

Well, I would say that if women enjoy equal opportunities as American citizens, then they should also have equal responsibility in defending our country, but

1. Women do NOT enjoy equal opportunities in our country. and
2. The wars the United States fights are not in defense of our country, but are imperialist attempts to police the world and install fascist dictators.

Answer 10

Mistress N answered this question perfectly.

And to the woman who claims woman in bodybuilding and other physical activities are equal to men, name me one physical olympic sport where the top woman's time is better than the top men's time. NONE. NONE. NONE. The top woman are not equivalent to the top men in physical activities.

You think the WNBA and NBA are comparable? Why is this kind of feminist thinking tolerated. It pisses me off and makes men less likely to respect the opinions of very intelligent, strong woman like Mistress N and even Rio

Answer 11

NO.
The hunters and the warriors are the men, it has been for millenniums and it always will be. I don't think you have any idea what it does to a man to see his comrade split open in a field of battle and not be able to do anything about it. But to see a woman whom we instinctively feel protective of is an emotional issue that could cost the battle .....men would go into anxious attacks of blind anger to the enemy, and all thoughts of tactical reasoning would be abandoned. We would probable forsake our training and go headlong into a course of revenge on the battle field and die in the physical rush at the enemy.
To see a woman of your own country in a bloody heap with her chest ripped open and her entrails spilling out is a sight that would literally arrest the objective of a male soldiers training, he would lose it all in a split second.
We can barely handle the emotional havoc to see our own men of our own battalion in that position, but a woman? God help us!
The reality is not a television show or a movie for the commercial gains of MGM and their peers. The reality is that men war. Women stop the wars. Once the female gender has this form of equality globally? Then we as a race are headed straight for Armageddon because there isn't going to be anyone here to stop us!
This isn't a politically correct issue darlin, it is a matter of inbred instinct that goes back for more then seventy thousand years! The last five decades of 'feminism', and equal rights activists are not going to change those basic instincts of men. No matter what amount of political propaganda you throw at men and women alike. You cannot change the basic instincts of a man with a few decades of ignorant wants.
POST SCRIPT: women in the armed forces is a great idea, I've nothing against that. Honestly I do not have anything against that. The managerial skills of a women outstrip a man's ability by a good league. It is an instictive gift the gender has. Logistics, and brain working posts, quarter master posts, these positions and their like are where the women add to the battalion, and the armed forces of the nation. But the battle field, for our sakes, no.
