Women in Combat

[Shaps]

Nah. I was in the infantry, we had women assigned to us for female engagement. Fucking useless. We had to babysit them and they couldn't carry anything and then they had to have their own sleeping areas and shit so we had to cram two squads into one tent so they could have a whole gp tent to themselves.

I'm not saying there aren't men who are just as crappy. They shouldn't be in the infantry either, but when you lower standards to allow those women in, you're letting those men in too, thereby making the entire force weaker.

Again... I appreciate your guys insight, experiences, and positions... but you're "quoting" me and commenting on things I did not say.

1. I never said women should be in the Infantry.
2. I never said women should be in the training pipelines or serve in Combat Arms Units.
3. I never said change, lower, adjust standards... I stated the standards should apply based upon the job requirements - hence a "baseline", regardless of sex/gender, to serve in Combat Support and Combat Arms respectively.

So again, have your opinions, I'm open to listening... but the rebuttals should apply to what I said, not what you "think I said".

Pretty sure we're all right around 95% in agreement - the 5%, from what I can see from replies, simply has to do with a difference in the terms "allowing" vs. "able to"... and again, as I refer to Conventional Forces "the machine" working properly and smoothly to ensure maximum readiness. I've already made the distinction regarding the SOF community and the "Machine", so won't touch on that again.

The rebuttals are to women putting 95% of men to shame. Some might, but nah... Unless all the weak men just go into the Army I guess.

Help is on the way.

Using Google is super hard for you, isn't it?

Again... I didn't say "women put 95% of men to shame"...

I was speaking about some (not all) women that I got to work with, and they specifically could put "95% of men to shame"... They were utter badasses. And yes, they'd put you, me, and 95% of other males to shame... because they were that good, and that's why they were working the positions they were working.

So again, please read what I'm saying... not what you think I'm saying.

And please, "all the weak men just go into the Army"? ... you think that's a dig? Fucking Marines, I swear. Your guys ego are almost as bad as the SEALs.

Unrelated (kinda), but when I see women UFC fighters, I believe my out of shape & untrained ass can take them in the first round. The key is you have to smack them with overwhelming man power hard and first. In reality, I’d probably get my ass beat down in an embarrassing spectacle, but this is what I tell myself.

Straight up fights - yes physicality wins out most times, etc.

In the military, we're talking gun fights mainly... so there is that :P .

Side note: Appreciate the unsigned Red rep to "Give it up already". Free world, you can have your opinion. I accept the red rep. You not signing though? Don't be a bitch. LOL

Unsigned rep still isn't anonymous. It just takes a couple extra steps to see who left it.

I shoot a lot, and not to offend anyone but most military & LEO that I have encountered at the flat range leave something to be desired as it relates to marksmanship. I’ve never been in a gun fight and hopefully never will. I have had very limited training on tactics, shooting behind cover, moving & communicating with a team, etc. That’s a whole different ball game and I’m sure I would get smoked by anyone (male or female) with real experience. I’ve done my fair of competitive shooting, but IPSC targets don’t shoot back.
