Not only would they be forced to carry as much weight in a combat setting--but they would also need to be alert to dangerous surroundings. There is no time in combat to be fumbling with a makeup kit. |
Woman CAN be capable of all this, if they want to be. Just because a select group of women were unable to do it, does not mean it isn't possible. Also, what did YOU use to Cammo your face in the military. I remember using something that looked awfully like a makeup kit, so your remarks bear no influence on this debate, and only work to discredit your arguments.

This isn't a matter of restricting women to the kitchen, rather it's putting qualified people into military positions that are fit, capable and emotionally in-tuned to do the job. Women fail at all three.

Being someone who HAS worked with women in the military, I can tell you that they are capable of all three. Several women in the military are in better physical shape than the men.

My reaction to this comment could get me banned, but in the future, do not use such comments as they bear no influence on the debate, and only work to discredit your arguments.

Women should stick to what they do best. Women in combat is akin to me injecting milk into my breasts to try and feed a baby.

Your comments bear no influence on this debate and only furthur discredit your arguments.

Again, it isn't a matter of men understanding the word 'no' when it comes to raping or groping a woman. This is the military. The objective of the military is to train young men to become warriors. Adding women to the mix naturally throws this objective into total disarray. Do I need to give you a lesson on the birds and the bees? Social experimentation is fine for a liberal/Communist anti war rally at Harvard Square, but when the defense of our country via the military is on the line--I want the most qualified men to rely on--not some hysterical emotionally inept woman.

All this garbage can be summed up in the fact that you don't agree that men should take responsibility for thier own irresponsible actions when dealing with thier hormones. The US Justice system, as well as the UCMJ disagree with you, and thier opinion on the matter outweights your own sexist agenda.

I answered those questions you had on VA benefits and PTSD. Perhaps you didn't like my answers, or perhaps you weren't specific enough with your questions.

I have yet to see a rebuttal to my claim that VA benefits ARE in fact being cut. I posted a VFW article on the issue, specifically dealing with the issue of benefits for those with PTSD.
