Supertootsday-I just rolled my eyes so hard my head hurt. Women can and are a vital part of a well oiled fast strike military. In the RIGHT role. FYI I saw a whole lot more fat private males trying to get out of work than women. Way more boys in trouble for sexual misconduct than women. You want a soy boy over a woman who is base? Please go right ahead. Have a conversation with an army nurse before you make moron comments. Actually don’t better yet have a conversation with a vet who held one as she died from wounds as she covered her patient. There is A BIG difference between calling out woke BS and going so far the opposite way you become the catalyst for a whole new generation of soy boys skirt chasers. Women can and have served with honor. Putting a heavy pack on and slowing down their team who might get killed trying to protect her isn’t wise. Putting her in a role that serves that team is. Telling girls they can do what men do in the same way men do it is assinine. Telling women who are willing to sign up in war time that they are just there to “spread their legs” is also assinine. Here’s a thought. Let’s recruit the best and put them positions that maximize their capabilities while insuring they are not used by corrupt politicians and leadership, then give them the tools and mandate to get it done.
It is not a moronic statement. I served 2 tours for both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. What I said is true. Does that mean its widespread? Probably not. Is it enough to cause major issues. Yes. Women do not belong in direct combat. They belong in support roles. Period.
Pretty sure I agreed with you on that point. The throwing ALL female soldiers into a dishonorable category IS moronic. Your WHY is moronic. We are NOT designed to fight the way men are that is a fact. We have however served honorably and some of us ( most actually) NEVER shunned our duties got knocked up on purpose or were loose in our morals. THAT I have issues with. There is A VERY good reason men and women should not serve the same roles in combat. Supplied by God. Degradation is not needed to make the point.
On a side note as a woman please don’t judge all of us by the few who are louder and determined to use every advantage for their own personal gains. This is a by product of generations being removed from examples of REAL empowered women. They are wellspring of awful for us all. Females are the gate keepers of family and the knitters of societal fabric but only when we can be honored and protected by honorable men. You seem a man of honor and it is a privilege to support and defend our honorable men. When you place all women in that framework you cut my legs out from under me. We have entire generations that have to be deprogrammed. Boys, Men Women and girls. There is a reason they are going after our daughters so hard. The women who serve that are dishonorable should not get to be the center of attention. Raise the standards hold them accountable and then judge them not by other women but as individuals. Otherwise we will just repeat these cycles. Strong men deserve strong women.
Well said, and will do.
Female combat medics are used in some Brit regiments of the line, they are very good as well. They carry ammo and guns as well as medicines and other medical equipment, they are shit hot.
Competency is sexy. If our daughters learn this they will finally understand their true power and not be fodder for the sex industry. Our power isn’t in our sex it is in our ability to protect those weaker. God designed us to protect our children just as he designed men to protect us. We can stretch that into battle and become a shield for our brethren. This is the heart of what makes a Shield Maiden hot not the corset.
It isn’t our ideal position. I truly believe as a woman we aren’t designed for war but for peace. Having said that sometimes there is no other way to protect your children or future children ( including those that you don’t give birth to) than to take up arms with your brothers. Also there are exceptions to every rule hopefully I don’t have to add that content warning here since I like to think Frens are better at critical thinking.
Rather let me rephrase- I believe women’s wars are fought in and for peace time. The most powerful warrior I ever knew was a prayerful widow who raised 10 amazing successful and honorable children in terrible conditions. THAT woman fought night and day against everything that came at her hoping to get to her babies. 4 were hers by birth 6 she took in off the streets. THIS is I believe our battle front where we were designed to stand and the skills for that can be of use on the military field in times of need.
