I think no matter what gender you are you should be able to fight for your country. you should be able to risk your life for what you believe in. Many woman already die in the war now from combat yet we are not offically allowed to be in combat. this should change NOW!

I think a woman should be allowed to assume any position she likes, including the missionary position ;)

... No is winning?

So much for equality right?

It's my personal opinion that in this country if you're not fighting for everyone's rights, you're fighting for nothing.(This includes the gays, the blacks, the jews, the azns, the satanists, etc.) We're a country of mutts right? We came here because we wanted freedom.

Jesus people, are we really going to start segregation again? Really? You want to take a step back? I'm honestly sick of twofaced people who say something's inhumane or wrong and then turn around and fucking advocate something like this on this site. Hell, in general.

It isn't equal if it would be just men. Woman can be just as powerful maybe even more powerful.

Of course. Women have come a long way. Can women not be patriotic and have a feeling to fight the enemy? Women have every right to fight for our country.

It is not in a woman's nature to pick up a weapon and start fighting. however, she has the right. And if she wants to exercise that right, well dammit let her!

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.

Instead of war woman should run most government throughout the world proving to man that there is intelligent ways of solving or differences without spilling each others blood. No war is worth fighting when the results is always the same where they advance is technology/weaponry to destroy human life. The movie saw is a perfect example of that.

War is like recycling the same garbage over and over with no end in site. We are not as intelligent as we think, we are just imitations of intelligence the same way parrots mimic the idea of intelligence. The only patriot is a human patriot that value peace, love and happiness for the entire human and animal race. However, our history shows that we are professionals with degrees and Phd's in destruction with no end in site.

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 still stand by my point that NO WAR is justified. Nature don't fight wars humans and animals do, territory will always be their whether we like it or not.

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

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.

Seriously? C'mon now. I'm female, but I'm smart and assertive and competent and I'm perfectly capable of fighting- and I would probably be better at violence than at rearing child. Also, what does honor or who makes what matter? Especially given how wrong your facts are- most weapons were made by specialists, as soon as people had a large enough volume of people have specialists- i.e., way before large-scale warfare.

Also, WREAK. Mother Nature could WREAK havoc.

Women are physically and mentally weaker than men.

However todays combat has significantly changed and war isn't as it used to be. You can let machines and tools make up for your lapses.

So my conclusion is... not yet.. not until their weaknesses are completely able to be made up for.

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.

First of all regarding mental weakness, picking out one single man does not account for the male gender in it's entirety and making fun of someone does not count as an argument. Also you seem to have no understanding about the mentality of the enemies modern American forces are fighting. They are brought up (or brainwashed) to believe a certain thing and they will stop at nothing to accomplish that end. They cannot be reasoned with. For the sake of other Innocent in the country they are rampaging through, they must be destroyed. As long as there are people who sill not listen to reason, wars will have to be fought until they are subdued. Pacifists will not bring peace. They will only stand on the fence and refuse to do anything.

Sigh... a hippy.

You don't understand war which is why you don't believe in it. I have no problem with talking and personally believe violence should be the last option. But when the last option occurs and war happens... then you go for it 100%. You wouldn't understand, you think everything's done by talking. Probably in your protected little bubble.

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

I knew this would happen. When it comes to the mind people always say men and women are equal. I'm not going to go into that debate.. but when it comes to combat or fighting.. then I will say that it's the same mentally and physically..men are superior. Women do not even come close. You can say what you want about women making crucial decisions... and you didn't almost have a female president.. and we did have a female prime minister - not good at all. PTS is due to the pussyfying of men in general.. and I would also say the term is used a bit too often. However I'm not an expert.. but all this psychology bullshit these days is literally bullshit. Men and women are not similar.. each have their roles in society. That's getting f*cked up now and women want to take on men's roles... society is going down the drain. Not to disrepute women or anything.. they have the most important job in the world of raising children etc... but they don't seem to think that's enough..

sigh....

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.

The U.S. military has performed experiments on this exact topic many times and found that the majority or them don't have the mental and/or physical stamina to perform adequately in combat situations. I am not trying to offend any feminists who may be reading this right now (though I probably am) I'm just laying out the facts that the military has already come up with.
