I'm gonna go ahead and assume you've never served in the military?

Its not about becoming mentally stronger. Males think differently about females. Christ were suppose to open doors for them, take the hit for them, and for some reason care about their feelings then we go to combat and its all suppose to change. It just doesnt work like that and more males will get killed trying to protect those females. That might change in time but how many lives is that worth?

Yep.

Plus, you have to think about other issues as well. Do women have to carry tampons and pads around in their pack now too? Or do, we just let them bleed all over themselves? Or do we pull them off the front line for a coupe days because it attracts bears? By the way, most athletic women won't have periods. But still...

What happens if a woman does get pregnant? Did you know that if a woman gets pregnant, they can opt out of the rest of her tour and go home? How does that make you feel when deployed to know that your platoon mate can go home whenever she wants. All she has to do is screw "Butch" in the lean-to. Now you and your team are left getting deployed with some scrub you barely know who just transferred in from the Nat-Guard.

What happens when two guys fall for the same girl? We all know what idiots men become when they have the opposite sex around them. So what happens when they start fighting over her? What about unit cohesion then? Men, especially those barely 18, are a raging meat sack of hormones. What happens when they're deployed, they miss home, they miss football, they miss good food, and they miss sex too? So now you want to have a ratio of like 1000 men to every 1 women grouped together in a small space, with death and boredom everywhere you look?

You think rape might happen more?

This is far more than just the "men have to suck it up". Anyone who thinks that, doesn't understand the ramifications of everything involved. Sorry.

Those problems all already exist with the way we currently deploy. At least in the AF...and 90% of the time AF is deploying with the Army so...

Like it or not women are in the military...the military claims equal opportunity in pretty much all things. It was only a matter of time until that ban was lifted. I think there will be incidents and hiccups...it's probably going to be better than you fear and worse than the higher ups claim to expect.

But thats the AF the only ones seeing combat are the pilots. You cant possibly think that the AF conditions relate to the army and the corps which actually have infantry units.

I prefer my women with dinner rolls. Carry on.

tampons are quite compact about the size of a marker wouldnt take up much room and i dont see the difference between that and having to shit/piss yourself like i've been told soldiers have to do

i cant imagine it would be that much different from some chicken shit shooting himself in the foot to go home

let em jerk off

if they can shoot if they can fight let them be on the front lines in a jet a tank whatever if they are qualified to do the job let em

That may have been true when you were in. It's not even close to true anymore. At least at my current base damn near every deployment we (comm) gets is a joint tasking with the army....many of those taskings end up being outside the wire with a Ranger unit. More than half of my shop has been in live combat...and we're a damn network shop. I'm sure it differs between career fields, but at least in comm any slot that the army can't fill with their own folks, the AF fills for them.

Your telling me you dont see the difference between a service that doesn't even have an mos for infantry and the ones that do? Im not saying that no one in the af sees action. Im saying there is a big difference between the army/corps and the af/navy when it comes to front line troops.
