women in the military, even if it costs lives? (Time out:0 days after 01-04-2003, 03:11)
Yes, women in the military.
Yes, but only non combat, even if it costs live of combat personel.
No, no women in the military.
Bananas, many, many bananas. Have you ever seen a banana spider? Huge man, chew your toe off. Your little toe, sure, but still, you want it right? My point is, big spider. Not like we have here. Here, we step on them and worry not for our little toe. In a banana plantation you gotta think ahead.

I left the military before it became politically correct. We had an occasional ensign "notool" around for laughs but that was about it. About the time I left things were getting more touchy-feely but we weren't as high tech then either. Our SINS (submarine inertial navigation system) for example was just an irrelevant bug that we used to enjoy watching it going into the rocks. That always irritated my officer friend when I would let it wander off the chart. He would come up to me and say; "WHERE ARE WE??!!". I would say something like; Well we all know that this silly thing doesn't work so why pretend that it does? That always got his attention but he had a hard time catching his breath before he could come back at me some ridiculous order. Anyway, I suppose there is a place for women in the military now. Maybe in the galley or something...

I wouldn't go. But thats a personal desicion. I'm not good at taking orders or following on them.

Then there would be a number of matters to be taken in account that happen to women that are not in the military but in work enviroments normally associated with men only.
not in any order but it happens you know...
-getting looked down upon
-getting looked up and down and up and down upon.
-getting overlooked. period.
-not getting a second look. workwise.
-not getting the good job if your not the looker type.
-but shame on you if you're the looker type. because what the hell is someone like you doing in a place like this?
-and so on.

so i would be worried if i was in a combat position and the guy that would be supposedly covering my ass is too busy looking at it.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

LTEC!, I agree. In combat, I'd say many men would not be comfortable with a looker, because they would think she got the ranks because of being a looker, and she couldn't be a good soldier. Or they'd be too busy to check her out all the time.

If she was not a looker, they could think that she can do the job, but then again she must be a lesbian who enjoys humiliating men. It's not easy being a woman!

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

There probably would be a mighty force to contend with if they scheduled combat for specific times of the month.

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

The comment is not only uncute but logistically not doable.
If you look at it from the humorous point it might work (ah the rage and agressiveness would make quite a few quiver in their combat boots)
but since you've never had experienced it personally i should point out there are a number of additional factors going on that would impede battle to happen.
so
thats a no go.

I think if they can pass the same physical, mental, and emotional tests they should be allowed into whatever division they qualify for. They should not alter the tests in any way - if you meet the requirements, you're in.

Suffering from ads?

I think all-female units should be created. To do what? Well, I'm still working on that one, but the point is that women can kill just as efficiently as men can when push comes to shove.

Maybe an all-female boomer and/or attack sub crew? Special forces? Military police? Infiltration? All-female infantry units (OK, maybe that one's a bit far out)?

We've already got them aboard Navy ships, on the ground in rear echelon areas (and piloting gunships?), and piloting warplanes ...

Anyway, it's about time we brought some "Amazon" troops into more prominent play.

Put an end to popups!

Why was it ok to say 'Don't move! Even your pubic hair won't grow!' loudly, but banned to say 'Don't move! Even your tits can't shake!'.

Isn't pubic hair present in both sexes?
