Women shouldn't be allowed in combat my spanish teacher put it this way "women are not allowed in combat because seeing dead pregnant women is still not seen as ok" I mean she has a point I don't see the military wanting to keep a women on payed leave for being pregnant for 9 months reality it would be expensive and yes they would hae to keep them out of combat because of the entire pregnancy situation. Also No you can not make a female take birth control just to keep themin combat I mean that's just wrong and even the military can't make you.

Wait, why are women suddenly getting pregnant left and right? It would be irresponsible behavior, in my opinion, for a female marine to get pregnant especially when there is (apparently) a combat situation likely. Any woman who takes their job seriously as a marine would in all likelyhood know better.

[QUOTE="JabbaDaHutt30"][QUOTE="Paladin_King"] Yet they can wield guns just as well. amazing. This may shock you, but thankfully we've moved past the age of battleaxes and broadswords.observer77

ok your going about htis all wrong I mean I believe women should not be combat as well but I wouldn't say it's because they are weak and lak mental endurance.

first of all women are proven to be more emotional than men and ina combat situation that is unneeded distraction. second women have the abilit to physically be as strong as men but they aren't goign to be that way even in the marines I have met plenty of marine women and none of whom feel that building themselves into a male body type is just silly. Alot of women even if they are in the marines still would like to keep their femenine apperance but have some muscle where they need it.

Might be women simply not right for the job, taking on more responsibility than they can handle.

I fail to see how being born with a certain set of genitals can make somebody inherently worse at a task.

The right people, with the right training and motivation should always do fine.

Think about it. If women, on average, can make for good soldiers just like men - why were they so disconsidered throughout history for warfare? Not everyone had to "stay at home and take care of the children."

[QUOTE="JabbaDaHutt30"]Women are weaker than men.dhyce

Thank you for that nugget of wisdom.

Actually, women can exercise and become just as strong as anyone else. Perhaps, they are at a slight inherent disadvantage, but it's easily overcome.

That wasn't even a remotely valid point.

Or empirical proof that they are oftentimes detrimental to the cohesion and efficacy of a small infantry unit..................

Something about Titanic and its sinking was a conspiracy :Phorgen123

That's not ridiculous... at all. You should get educated on this subject. How can ice possibly sink a ship made out of metal? :|
