Secretary of Defense Orders All Combat Roles Open To Women.

And from what he, and the Chairman of The Joint Chiefs said yesterday, it will not be on a "volunteer" basis. If you are assigned to a combat infantry unit, women and men will share the exact duties.

The Marine Commandant has requested an exemption for woman in full combat roles, I guess they will have to rule on that.


The next step is to require all US citizens to register for selective service when they turn 18, regardless of gender.

I guess it's about time.

No beef at all. Like I said. It's about time.

You're advocating another draft?

I for one am all for women in the military But one example that comes in mind will she be able to pick up and haul out an injured team member during a fire fight? that goes for men too. If you are not physically or mentally able it could endanger more lives than its worth to be PC just my opinion

We of course, have no draft. They still have a registration for Selective Service in the event that for what ever reason, a draft should have to be implemented at some future date.

From the discussions on the various news channels last night, the Secretary and The President are looking into requiring Women to register as well.

This is a good thing. This give twice the pool to select from, as there are just as many able bodied Women in this Country as able bodied Men.

Wonder if they will have to dig their own slit trenches?

YouRong is on thin ice when comparing Israeli women to the hookers he knows.

Will never work.
It is equal til one gets shot and they show her on TV a mother of six, leaves behind blah blah.

Then you will have the white knights out there that will do something stupid to save a woman and ten men die.

No thanks. Been in combat and see the queens of the day and how people act.

They deployed a whole team to get one pretty girl out of harms way.

NOPE!

I'm not sure that all the women we have in the armed services want this? I'm sure many of them joined for other reasons. Right?

Btw...have you ever seen a woman throw a ball? Yup.... How'd you like to be sitting next to that when she has a grenade in her hand?

[TheDaliLama]

I'm against it. Men act differently around women. They are much more protective when they should be killers. Also captured women get raped and that also affects our leaders judgements.

Bad idea.

It's may not be fair to women but there is nothing fair about war.

For some it may.

The comment I heard yesterday had to do with excessive training injuries.

I'm not sure there is any way to prove it except to go to war with an equally matched foe - which for the time being we do not have.

My personal opinion is that I do not want women fighting on my behalf. I certainly do not want my granddaughter in combat. If the men of this country can't fight our wars, maybe we should turn in our man cards.

I guess when they have PMS they'd send them to the front lines?

Ahhhh.....the wound that never heals.
