They are already in combat all the time.

over 100 women have been killed in combat in iraq/afghanistan
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

Its really easy for you lefties to say I don't have a problem with it..........Your not in the military no do you have to face a combat situation where you are laying your life on the line.........If that were the case you might have a different opinion.

Check your hearing aid, grandpa. Post you quoted was me saying we shouldn't put women in harm's way.

And me, a leftie? Seriously.

I believe the figure is 242 and they are all heroes
They not in foxholes in hand to hand combat..........They were support people.
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

You people who are posting yes have you ever been in the military... Did you serve in combat?


You were in the Navy, what combat did you see?

This is not about me my left wing friend but I was in Cam Rahn Bay for 13 months and made 2 ten month deployments on and AOE-1. For those 32 months I drew combat pay....I was a sailor and unless your a SEAL or EOD you rarely are in actual combat.....I will say I am proud of the time I spent in Viet Nam in a support position working 6 and 1/2 days a week...............Now lets get back on the topic of whether women should serve in combat.....Thank you.

PS Oh and please quit posting on my page...I only like to receive post from my Conservative friends and you are damn sure not one of them........This is the last post I will responf to about me in this thread.

Who said anything about treating them as property?

They can serve in combat as long as they have lunch ready. ;)

I am no liberal.Unlike you I would never vote for a liberal.

So in other words you were POG (pronounced pōg )and didn't actually see any actual combat duty and yet you have the audacity to ask if people responding yes to the poll not only served in the military but did combat duty as well?

The one I like is when John Wayne was speaking at some Liberal college in New England..........He said he had no problem with women working as long as they were home by 5:pM to fix dinner.:lamo

I don't agree with JamesRage on everything, but he's certainly not left wing.

One More I have to do it..........When you take the liberal side on every issue you re a Liberal my left wing friend......You may not know it but that is what you are.

If you knew anything about how our military is broken down you would know that the Marines and the Army at this point in our history are the ones that actually served in hand to hand combat..........Don't tell those 2,000 guys that are entombed in the ARIZONA that they never fought in combat............They were Navy my left wing friend may they rest in peace.

Soviet women fought at Stalingrad in WW2. In one battle, a female anti-aircraft regiment stalled a panzer division for 2 days and inflicted heavy casualties before being destroyed. The fighting in Iraq and Vietnam was rather tame by comparison.

I don't think he really knows what he is.

I am talking about American women and the U.S. military. Oh and we lost 58,000 people in Nam. Hardly a walk in the park.

Oh...my...God...

Soviet deaths in WW2: military: over 8.8 million. Add another 12.4 million at a minimum civilian casualties. Comparing that to Vietnam is silly.

And why do you have such a low opinion of American women, my left wing friend?

The point is that even support people are often thrust into combat in today's warfare.

How have I taken the side of every liberal issue?Seeing how you voted for a dirty lib and I didn't that makes me more conservative than you.


If you knew anything about how our military is broken down you would know that the Marines and the Army at this point in our history are the ones that actually served in hand to hand combat.

I am well aware of that fact.Which is why I find it amusing that navy POG has the audacity to question whether or not some one served in combat.

........Don't tell those 2,000 guys that are entombed in the ARIZONA that they never fought in combat............They were Navy my left wing friend may they rest in peace.

Wasn't the Arizona bombed in Pearl Harbor? if that is the case how does getting bombed equate to fighting in combat?
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?[W:

In my 21 years in the military I have never heard of one person be they man or woman who wanted to serve in combat.

Well NP, that's because you served in the blue-side navy. :)

May they rest in peace indeed. But they "fought in combat" no more or less than people in the world trade center did on 9/11, or people in the Oklahoma City Federal building did in that bombing.
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

would you want your wife, sister or daughter to serve in hand to hand combat and live in a foxhole?

if my country and people need me ,l can live in every hole.
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

Yeah, but we don't need them. We have a glut of infantrymen at the moment. We are letting whole battalions of them go. There is precisely zero military need for this.

There is no integrity in your poll, is there? You ask about women, but then in your message state "man or woman." So this is just more of your constant anti-women crap.

I do know people who served in the military who joined specifically to go fight on behalf of our country at war as true patriots - a patriotism by your message that you do not share. Some people want to do their part. Others, like you indicate in your OP, do not.
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

Yes, I think some genuinely do want to be members of combat teams.
 
Re: Do you really think women in the Military want to risk their lives in combat?

You will not suck me into a gay issue here..........My daughter is 5'5" and weighs 115 lbs..........Of course she has a master degree in teaching so I don't have to worry about that.

I was not trying to brin up the gay issue, I was simply countering your "wife' with husband, which would be valid if I was female or gay. Not trying to change the discussion.

That's great about your daughter.

And completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.

technology which was developed by human may not need even men..only robots may have to fight one day :lol:
