do you have a problem with women in uniform?
Women serve just fine in uniform, and I believe they can serve in any MOS if they can pass the physical requirements necessary for the job.

do you have a problem with women in uniform?
As I first said, before the original thread got hijacked, there are several MOS that women excel in, and in no way should be denied those jobs because of their gender. And I believe the claim that combat experience is necessary for advancement is preposterous. General David Petraeus had never been in a combat theatre before Iraq. Most of the noise coming from the left about women being suited for infantry duty is theoretical, not real-world. Are there women capable of combat duty? Sure. Probably any woman who is a strong swimmer or marathoner could pull her weight. But these women rarely see the US Military as a viable career choice. Israeli women for instance see military service as their birthright...they would never be denied the chance to protect their country. American women on the other hand, see military service as a source of personal benefits ie; educational and mortgage discounts after service. I'm generalizing of course. And I would add the physical expectations of modern combat have changed considerably since WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. Our modern force travels by mechanical transport now instead of slogging. The terrain in the ME is considerably different than in Europe or Asia. Still, all things considered, every troop in a combat theater is in essence a rifleman whether they're a cook or a truck driver. Jessica Lynch found that out by taking a wrong turn during the run to Baghdad.

You ask a question, then viciously attack anyone who doesn't agree with your pre-conceived notion of right and wrong.

I spent a lot of time in combat, and I don't want a woman near me in combat for a lot of reasons.
You think they can cut the mustard? Fine, say so and tell us why.
And I'll tell you why it's a bad idea.

If they can do the job and want to serve in that role, they should be allowed to do so.
The main problem a woman with a combat MOS is going to encounter is people with attitudes like yours who want to see them fail.
Anyone who has been in combat knows that troops will surprise you and sometimes the meekest troop will do the bravest thing and some little guys can hump the most whatever ya need.

This is why I lose patience with dimocrap scum.....
You erect a fallacious strawman in order to put your own scummy self on the side of what you think is 'right'.
I don't want to see women fail in a Combat MOS. That's a lie. Which makes you a liar.
What I don't want is to see women DIE in a Combat MOS because they can't do the job or, even worse, cause another Soldier to die because she can't do the job...... Or, worst of all, cause the Mission to FAIL because she can't do the job.
If there are women out there who can meet the TRUE stringent requirements of a Combat MOS, I would not only be okay with it, I would be all for it.
Here's the truth, the Combat Arms is where all the 'Rank' is.
Latrine Orderlies don't get promoted to SGM or Lieutenant General.
In an Army Infantry Platoon, TO&E calls for 5 Sergeants..... Out of around 35-40 men. In a Company, there can be one Master Sergeant, a Sergeant First Class or two and as many as 10 Staff Sergeants and 20 buck Sergeants.
It's where the rank is. That's what this is all about and that's fine with me.
Tell you what.... And spread it around to all your libturd pals..... You stop acting like pre-pubescent, lying little bitches and I'll stop calling you names.
Just.... Just fucking stop it.
