Women in combat

[Gabu]

Women should be held to the same standards as the men.  If they pass, then one can conclude that they are as fit as any man to serve.  Obviously, more men would pass than women, but this is not a problem.

Seriously though,

Yes, deffinately. Don't know about drafting women though. Haven't made up my mind.

If you have women who are as capable in the military as men, why not?  If women truly want equality, they must accept the responsibility that comes with it.

Well, women and men aren't physically equal. Depends on how much training involved, but with little training it might not be the best idea.

Not all, but I'm saying that those who are physically equal to men should not be an exception just because they're women.

[Gabu]

Of course, but we're talking about a military draft. Unless they were to draft able bodied women or something. It all depends on how they go about the draft and how much training there is.

All I'm saying is this: if women really want to be equal, they should not suddenly decide that women should be given special treatment different than that given to men when equality would lead to something inconvenient for them.  It's either equality or no equality, not "equality when we like the result".

Women should be allowed in, but they should have to meet the same standards as men for gaining entry. They are going to be less likely to be qualified but if they are qualified, I see no reason to deny them entry.

And they shouldn't LOWER standards so that more women can pass.

Yes, which is something that no one has suggested they do...

Fire Departments, police departments and military schools have done so.

Which is ridiculous and something that never should have happened.
