What would be a more effective and lethal fighting force; an all male army or an all female army? Answer: an all male army. If an all male fighting force is more effective then how does adding women to the team make it better? It doesn't. Is an all male football team better than an all female football team? Yes! Then how does adding even one woman to that team make it better? It doesn't. If women want to fight in ground combat there is a simple solution. Just like sports segregate women from men (basketball has the WNBA instead of forcing the NBA to accept women). Women should be given their own, female only combat brigades, regiments, etc. This would eliminate all of the problems of pregnancy, romantic relationships, sexual harassment, etc. Yet nobody has proposed this because they know that women, as a group, would be a disastrous fighting force.

I have, however, spent a great deal of time with combat veterans and tried to fathom this argument without bias. I agree with Mr. Webb, women serve most admirably in the military and in combat conditions. What grips me is the integration of combat units in the Army and Marine Corps infantry. His cogent points do speak to a need to preserve and foster a very important dynamic established by physical and psychological factors unique to combat units. I have also wrestled with the comparison to racial integration; but in the end I have accepted the notion that this issue is based on differences in biology.<br /><br /><br />I think it would be instructive to note how the IDF is currently conducting combat operations in Gaza. To date, over fifty-five soldiers have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Not one is a woman. And the IDF is supposedly one of the most integrated forces in the world. It's pretty obvious that actual combat units going in to root out the tunnels are comprised of only male soldiers, or the casualty rates (if no one is hiding the fact that women are getting maimed and killed) would surely reflect women deaths. So, how come IDF women are not actually involved in front-line fighting, the type of fighting that I'd expect our own forces could engage? What have the Israeli's learned over time about this issue?<br /><br />In the end, I don't know if our Congressional and Pentagon leaders will study these lessons that the IDF could provide us.

If you disagree how about you go on a 10 mile hike after being up for 3 days and set up a patrol base or a defense. Then 2 hours after your rest cycle you get hit and have to relocate your pb. Then your on security or patrol for the next 6 hours and that continues for a week. You don't know what pain is if you haven't been in an extremely physically demanding job. By extremely physically demanding, I mean a job that will push you to pass out. Every single day. <br /><br />I weigh 170, i run a 1900 minute 3 mile, i life all the time, im in really good shape. Yet in the infantry I get my ass handed to me with all the gear I have to carry half the time. You think you a "woman" weighing 120-140 pounds can carry a full combat load the same distance as me? Get the fuck out of here. The DAY women are allowed in the infantry is the day I will stop caring for my job the way I do and I won't re-enlist. Because I will already be dead. And its a harsh way to put it, but I don't trust women especially in the infantry. I've worked with them and they are lazy when it comes to extreme physical labor. They literally can't even keep up with infantry marines on a pt run. They aren't meant for it.

They did not have the constant worry of the grunts providing security for them so they could do their mission. They also didnt have to deal with the problems of just their presence presents to grunts that are stressed beyond belief and just the smell of the sweat of an American woman can deride reason in that mindset.<br />All these folks pushing for this equality, disgusting.

Yes, of course there is. Does this matter? I've served with some weak guys that I would rather have by me than the strongest, fastest woman out there. The issue is that this is combat. Its not just all about mechanics. There is a very psychological necessity in combat. Priorities on the battlefield are going to be thrown in the blender. A whole book could be written on why men and women could not serve together psychologically. Also, a woman's body cannot endure the physical harshness of the battlefield. If a woman was to menstruate on the battlefield, she can't just take a break for toiletries. It would in fact be extremely hazardous for her health. There is a whole laundry list a reasons why this integration wouldn't work. Can a woman physically perform in a firefight? Yes, but she couldn't maintain combat readiness throughout a whole deployment.Ricky Burnettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331994124359754328.post-89232244598509265112013-03-29T06:35:25.981-04:002013-03-29T06:35:25.981-04:00Some of you have watched too many epidsodes of &qu...Some of you have watched too many epidsodes of "Army Wives." There are places for women in the miliatry to serve, but the Infantry is not it. Why do you want to get others killed? The enemy is doing that without your help. Join up. But not to jump into the trenches. Women are too important to be lost on the battlefield unnecessarily. There are too many high profile positions that women can do much better than men that do not require them to compete against the enemy and the men in their unit and that is what it boils down too. You gals know we are always having to prove ourselves. Men are usually accepted. So why not step into a position that requires some common sense decision making. That is where women will shine.

What chemical reactions and emotions occur that may lead to a decision outside of the playbook, driven by unfamiliar sensations that have not been accounted for in training or leadership? <br /><br />"Hey you see that new PFC that check in today? Great ass."<br /><br />We must also account for what “actually” happens when a young woman joins a unit; the "barracks effect" most females go through. Introducing a female into a massively testosterone driven environment causes her hormones to spike. Inevitably, most young ladies that serve find themselves in many relationships with other military men. Look at the rest of nature, we are mere beasts with iPhones. <br /><br />"I'm 22, I know exactly the type of woman I want."<br /><br />Next, age. We are just finding ourselves in our early twenties. The soft and malleable heart men and women possess at this stage offer deeper wounds when LCpl Sally falls favor for your roommate. The ignorance of romantic inexperience flairs and we find ourselves in the age old tale of young love and lust.<br /><br />End-state<br /><br />Tie the beast, the heart, and the age back into the battlefield scenario. A young Cpl of Marines sees the female Marine he fell in love with months before deployment, go down on the field. She sees the Cpl and screams his name to come help. From the flank comes the Sgt she left him for. As moments pass in this firefight, what emotions has he felt? What are some of the things he could do from here? I offer the worst case, he leaves his fire team, exposing their position and now drawing attention to himself, the Sgt and the female down. As James states, if I am on the other side of this fight, I am out to kill. I am going to focus my field of fire on this battlefield version of “the young and the restless”. Now put a fellow male Marine in the females place. This is a scenario the Cpl is trained for. If his leaders vetted weakness out of the unit correctly, he makes the right tactical and mission centric decision. <br /><br />I know there are many men who would make the right decision regardless of male or female down on the field, yet why add a major element of uncertainty from a variety perspectives that can cascade into sheer catastrophe. <br />Sam Meeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331994124359754328.post-1926456565317306802013-03-18T01:47:00.692-04:002013-03-18T01:47:00.692-04:00Amazing. 11/10 would lol again.Amazing. 11/10 would lol again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331994124359754328.post-26175427076022402522013-03-14T18:30:44.377-04:002013-03-14T18:30:44.377-04:00If a woman can do it, I say she does it, pure and ...If a woman can do it, I say she does it, pure and simple.

I see no reason to keep people out of combat based solely on their sex. People are acting as though they will suddenly let all these tiny women out on the field. But if you use some common sense you'll realize that this isn't the case, and they sure as hell wouldn't let any tiny men out on the field either! Yes, IN GENERAL women are weaker, but it stands to reason that on a rare occasion, you will get some that aren't. And if they want to fight for the country I see no reason for them not to.
