Next step is the required sign up for selective service.
That's only part of combat. Sometimes the enemy comes to you. And yes, when the enemy is not an army, but the working next to you, you are on the frontline.
I'm an artist, I know the shape of a woman and why they cannot keep up with a man. They have an hour glass shape, we have wide hips and our shoulders are broad... As an artist you learn the differences (not the junk) between a man and a woman.
I know this from my art - I have asked the question already.
The wide hips are a problem.. A good problem if you want to have children.
Sitting around and waiting for the enemy to come to you is a losing strategy.
No one is arguing differently. The fact remains, the battlefield is less defined and is where they are right now.
This all reminds me of GI Jane (the movie) It was politcal then, and is politcal now. There is no WAY in hell a general sends in women into direct line of fire if they can help it, and the first one that does, and has the result that is fairly predicatble will be relieved of command. All this, sure if they can handle the physicality of it, then let them nonesense is missing the obvious political chest puffing this all is. All this is is some powerful womens lobby group (over the years) not being able to see the forest through the trees. -Or-, if you like, as long as it ain't my daughter the message is more to further womens perceived lack of equality and is worth the sacrifice of a few daughters to get the recognition. Politicians, like elitests, have never in the history of mankind, ever had a problem letting someone else take it up the you know what, just so long as the bigger picture is realized, and or furthered.
This will all be great until females start coming home in body bags at the same rate men do, then see how long this little social experiment lasts!
Tim-
The Battle on Roberts' Ridge didn't happen in the rear. The objective is to keep the enemy from threatening your lines of communications and the only way to do that is to take the offensive, seek out the enemy and destroy him in close quarter combat, by use of speed, terrain, tactics and firepower.
Well there you go. I know an African American who thinks we should return to slavery. Based on your logic here, we should. When will you learn this type of tactic is ineffective?
iNot sure why you think this is an effective rebuttal on your part. It is not a question of whether you can find a battle that was four forward, but whether attacks also have in the rear. The point is e battlefield is not "out there," but everywhere.

Pentagon to overturn ban on women in military combat roles | World news | guardian.co.uk
Personally, I'm fine with this as long as they physical requirements are the same. If you can't lift enough or run long enough, you're putting other people in extra danger as well as yourself.
Did you even read the article?
Unless of course the enemy is in the rear. Do reread what I said.i
You can't defeat the enemy in thr rear. Infantry doesn't operate in the rear and YES women serving in combat arms units IS THE POINT OF THE THREAD.

Yeah, if they invade the super fobs and are hiding out behind the blizzard machine at dairy queen.
If you disagree find the worst part of town you know and ask the police officer if he would prefer a male or female partner.

In which case it becomes the front and all support elements are redeployed to a more secure area.
Spin it how you want, but decisve combat operations don't take place in rearward areas.
Yes there is. It's everywhere outside of the cushy super fobs where 95% of the military is placed. You're more likely to be hit by a car on one of those fobs than a bullet or mortar round, and there are US cities more dangerous than them.Only in traditional warfare. There is no front in what is going on today.
Ik, which decisve battle took place in the rear during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Name one!Only in traditional warfare. There is no front in what is going on today.

Bet I can show those places have been hit from the inside when I get home?
