Well you can't expect us to not reapply our lipstick.And don't you know we could break our nails trying to carry something!

Well of course, there is that, I had never considered this.

This is addressed to Koppykat and the Bandaidnursewoman: Deegan is right when he says the military should be limited to a one gender (male) operation. To Koppykat: I should have been more clear with the start of this topic by pointing out it was American women I was referring to. Those female warriors before Christ's time were not only built like pro magnum men, but they were forced to fight for their very lives.
Putting 21st century American military women into perspective--they neither have the strength nor the temperment to carry out the maneuvers that I had mentioned in a previous post. There is nothing in the military/combat playbook that even comes close to preparing a person with inferior body strength and an emotionally unstable disposition to perform to the highest levels of a demanding combat MOS.
I'll tell you one thing, I would refuse to go into a combat venue knowing that the person walking behind me was of the female persuasion. When your life or the life of your comrades are on the line--you want to know that you at least have those qualified for combat (both physically and mentally) surrounding you in the time of battle.

LOL
The average male is larger, stronger, heavier, faster, has greater endurance, stamina and agility than the average female.

Please explain to me, in detail, the error of this statement.

Very astute of you, American Woman. I was going to post something similar, but better they hear it from a woman than myself to help nail the point home.

Seriously though, I am very independant and all that sh!t but for real most woman do not belong in combat. I'm not talking military but in actual combat. There is a very big difference. I am 5 foot and no way could I lift anything really heavy or do anything like shoot other people. I have to agree with Deegan though that it just creates distractions. When you're fighting for your life and your country you don't need anything to distract you.

I think that generally speaking more men are capable of the rigorous demand of combat than women. But in the end this is something that should be looked at on an individual basis not purely on gender.

Yeah, like for me I could never do it but for someone like China Doll, who is generally like a man, then I guess they could handle it. But the fact is most women are not like china doll.At least not the ones I know.
