RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE!

It is shame full on ur part to say like that, asshole!

either give a good reason or just fuck off!

Because it's a matter of military effectiveness. Not equality. The unfortunate fact is that just about any activist group can cry inequality and the whole liberal party will bow to their feet and do whatever they want. God forbid someone should be offended.

No. There is such thing as a justified war. It's part of nature to fight for territory.. but being human we should make more dignified choices i.e. a war that should be worth fighting for. These days most wars should never have been... doesn't mean war should never be.

I agree that a woman's place is to nurture and to build civilization. It's in her nature to be equal with Mother Nature. Just think of it, in one minute Mother Nature can reap havoc on the entire planet. So in sense, the description of Earth as a Mother is entirely correct, she is the ultimate warrior!

You want to see a real battle fought in ancient times then read the Mahabharata War or the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita.

Women did not fight except if they disguised themselves to seek revenge for some injustice committed by some man on the enemy side; thus her opportunity to avenge herself presented itself.

War is never good no matter what era it occurs in. But Ancient warfare had more honor and pride than contemporary warfare. You had to be a martial artist skilled in horse riding, elephant control, and different strategic formations for battle.

In addition, men made their own weapons: bow and arrow, shields, swords, lances, chucks, discus, etc. They knew what type of armor they were using. In modern times someone else makes the weapons and you know what can result.

Wow. So since you were a spouse, you understand what it takes to be in the field for 7 days? Let me, if I may just for you, clear it up a little bit with some facts. I am a recently retired soldier who served in the US Army. I was deployed to combat zones 3 times. I was "in a field" (btw, the correct way to say it is in THE field) for more than 7 days at a time. You learn to adapt, and you learn how to perform personal hygiene as best you can. I, as a woman, was not in a combat MOS, but you can trust me, I was in a combat zone so I was in the same convoys, roadside attacks, mortar attacks, etc. as my male counterparts. I am certified in field sanitation so I know how to make dirty water clean, I know where to put the dining facilities in relation to the toilet facilities, I know how to burn human feces as to not contaminate the area of operations. As far as tampons and clean panties, honey, you do what you gotta do in a war. You improvise how you must when you must. You learn to adapt. I attained the level of expert in both grenade and rifle qualification, I am a combat lifesaver, and an expert in the field of logistics (which is a support MOS, that has been thrust onto the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan) so you do not offend me, your lack of understanding frightens me. It is people like you holding up little U.S. flags in the airports welcoming home our troops claiming to be supportive. Bottom line, I was in combat three times, so I should have the choice to be in a combat MOS.

And some woman remind me of the types that try to run in heels from the bogeymen.

... :D

.."I would love to "throw" any women who "thinks"

- I dont think you could even throw yourself dear lady.

"As a female, we go through certain "monthly/physical" changes that a male will Never experience."--

--??duh

"So next time a "women" wants to be a bada$$ feminist and claim she's just as "qualified" to be a grunt, etc..." --

- You sound like the classic "TrophyWife" :)

I can see you and i are going to get along ;~

On a more serious note :

Your a spouse of a wounded infantry warrior. How very brave of you . It must be very hard for you at times. You sound like you need a break .Sympathies.......

EDIT: 2.52PMNEXT DAY.........whoopsy..... I just did a bit of research. It seems , you say you dont want sympathy.....ok !

BUT I CAN RELATE. No ive never been in the army but i have Post Traumatic Syndrome ,ETC . etc , etc ,etc and not to go on, a herniated disc is no fun either.

No , i have never been in the army , SO WHAT .Neither has my daughter who spent 11 months fighting for her life!

I wont reveal too much of what i know , but , InfantryWife...............Your not the only one .

Do they force people to serve in the US army ? ?

No , you wont get anymore sympathy from me.

Even though your husband may deserve his purple heart , your plight or whatever it is , is not deserving of a medal.

Maybe you secretly desire to go awol.

Those brave women who chose to assist the men in fighting wars do not join the bandwagon to try to prove that they are equal to men.

Obviously your time as an infantry wife has been beyond lonely.

Apparrently despite your husbands CHOICE to be in the army ,you have no female friends ,who were also in the army along with your husband ?

I wonder why he never imformed you of how a lot of those women , who chose to bravely serve in war , are stronger than some of the toughest men he has ever met.

These woman dont join to prove some stupid point that they are equal to man......What a naive and ungrateful bitch you are!

Sad , as all this shows me (AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I DID ON YOU)is that you are a naive trophy-wife , who is resentful for her choices. Maybe you need to grunt up a bit!.........................PS sorry , i prefer not to be a bitch...but sometimes..well...

Wow, that was probably one of the most ignorant statements ever made. Physically weaker, most of the time, yes we are. Mentally weaker, well your statement justifies my point.

Your ignorance has weakened your argument. Go exercise that brain of yours!!! You can do it.

I don't agree with women in combat, nor do I agree with men in combat. I believe war solves nothing. It only serves to strengthen our enemies negative view of us and their resolve to destroy us. It is a vicious cycle and will not be broken until humans perfect the art of diplomacy.

soo maybe men are a little stronger than woman but who decides who is more mentally fit. woman can be just as strong as men mentally and we can come very close physically. Woman make many crucial decisions today that decide our countries future and we almost had a female president so i dont know how you can say woman arent mentally the same. so woman are certanly weaker than others but those are the ones who arent made for the army and can't handle situations like that. Men also have trouble handling situations that are mentally tough. look at the rate of post tramatic stress syndrome from returning soldiers. we are very similar

BullSHIT. You're a bigot, love, and I would quit before I got too far ahead if I were you. Physically smaller, yes, but women usually have better endurance and work more effectively in groups- which is a huge strength. Also, women are just intelligent as men. Yes, there are some stupid women, just like there are stupid men (hey, look at how awful your grammar is!). By any measure, I'm more intelligent than most men- by class rank, SAT score, IQ test, you name it. Have a nice day, Boy Who Will Never Get Laid.

........

First of all, this SHOULD be taken seriously. Women have been oppressed throughout history and are still oppressed today! Women are raped, abused, treated like trash in many parts of the world. There are women in some parts of the world that aren't even allowed to drive. They need to wait for their sons and husbands to come home and drive them to their friends' house or the local grocery store. Step outside your little bubble and realize that this is an extremely serious issue that NEEDS to be talked about.

You realize that your view of women being less intelligent than men is wrong... and instead of admitting your wrong, you laugh and act as if this isn't a big issue and it's simply a small group of women overreacting.

The reason why have been looked down upon in history is because of the view of ignorant, stupid little men like YOU. You fail to acknowledge the intelligence of women because of your idiotic and shameless ignorance (I used the word shameless because you fail to realize that you are wrong). You blame their words for experiencing PMS, when in actuality, you have just insulted an entire gender, an entire sex. THAT is enough justification for women (AND MEN) to dispute your stupid claims speak up for for themselves. You idiot.

Please provide these so called experimental outcomes. I would like to see them. Since 2003 the United States military has had no problem sending female soldiers out to battle. I was in the Army and deployed 3 times, as I said earlier, so I am waiting for someone to tell me that I am not physically capable to do what I did, which was be in combat for 365 at a time, per deployment. Yes I had a weapon, yes I fired my weapon, yes my military drivers license has around 10 different vehicles I am trained and authorized to drive (and we aren't talking neon's). I am not the minority of females here, I am the majority of those that are in the military. So while you are laying out the facts, please lay out the the entire set, maybe a link to these so called experiments because during the entire time I was in the military, I took part in no such experiments.
