If they pass the test like a man has to...then I'm fine. They are being held to the same requirement. if they don't, then go make me a sammich... However, I think this experimental military is going to wind up with a whole lot of pregnant females in combat posititons. I recall my time as a M1 tanker being out in the field for 45 days at a time with little to do. Men and women in close quarters WILL find "something" to do. Each other. Should that preempt women from being in combat roles? No...because I'm sure there are rules now to account for it. But its another facet. |

She was attempting to earn the expert field medical badge
she technically finished the course but was in no condition to assist anyone in a real life scenario. ie if she is your platoon medic and you are in combat with an bullet wound screaming for the medic..you look over and she is flopping around like the video..how happy would you be? How much treatment is she going to offer? Basically, you have to be able to perform your job after the course, I doubt she could. I have known a few medics who received this badge and they told me it was a tough course, with a high attrition rate but the performance delivered in that video is unacceptable for a "go" |

The military has standards when they want them. Not that the Air Force is as tough as the Marines by any stretch, but an 18 year old female has lower standards on her physical training test than a 50-60 year old man that can still do more heavy work than she can. I may not run very fast around a track, but have never been able to change out a tire or brake assembly on a heavy aircraft with a female at the other side due to sheer weight and bulkiness. Not a made up story, just the truth. I'm not trying to be sexist by any stretch, so don't take it that way. But I know you won't.

It may not be cool to admit that women are not equal to men when it comes to physical strength but there is no denying it. Combat is not about equal rights, it is about killing people and breaking things. |

I've had the pleasure of working with women that could operate aircraft loading equipment as well as any man. I've also had the pleasure of pushing pallets that are stuck inside the aircraft rails. Pushing stuck pallets, at times, is about brute strength. Would I rather have three or four lady button pushers or three or four guys? I believe you know the correct answer.

But reality is, females are not equal to men, generally speaking, when it comes to brute strength. I'm not being sexist, it's just simple biology. We talked about this a few months ago, with regard to females in certain combat roles. It's not even just about the ability to do the same things as a man. Quote:

My friend Paulie was a smart one in using real meanings too. He put an E5 female in charge of the load/unload crew. His reasoning was simple. She was a great worker and had a million watt smile. The loads (Loadmasters, who are in charge of the cargo on the aircraft and usually male) responded very well to a young, cute female load team chief who also did a great job. |
