Women in combat

[John Dibble]

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.

Ditto.

Yes BRTD, we know you're obsessed with communist rebel women.

[John Dibble]

Point is, if communist insurgencies can use women in combat, why not the real army? That kind of nullifies all the arguments against it.

AND YOU ALREADY MADE THE POINT! Do you have to reiterate it again and again and again? Your obsessions get on people's nerves sometimes.

[John Dibble]

I didn't make this topic.

I didn't say you did. But you did make your point once, then for some god forsaken reason you made the same point again.

Most women cannot take the emotional environment of an Annapolis or West Point.

Haha, by 'emotional environment' do you mean getting raped and otherwise attacked or harrassed all the time?

I think he's talking about more common situations - you know, like the drill sergeant yelling at you during drills and whatnot.

That's not an argument for keeping it one-sexed, though.  If women can go through it, just like men, then let them.

I wasn't saying otherwise - rather I was correcting opebo's nonsense.
