Hmmm as you know this is a widely discussed topic in the military area and parts of social life, whether women should be allowed in the front lines in battle.

Now there nay Sayers of this topic say
that men are physically better for front lines. For example I recall this woman who had a article in one of the magazines (time magazine i believe) said, that the physical testing for the Marines was too high for women, and not only that but physical expectations for women in army are also low. And that is the reason she failed the testing. However, whats intriguing about this was that over 20 men also failed the test.

Furthermore there have been talks about lowering the expectations, qualifications, for women to join the Marines (Elite combat group)... and many are saying it is justifiable.

And then there are soldiers who say that when it comes to missions, sometimes their proirity has to switch from their mission, to saving their commander or group leader because she is a female. Now its not as simple as " oh they can just leave her and continue on to doing their mission".. problem is that when women are captured it just doesn't mean automatic Fatality... it means rape and many other things along with it. And men soldiers have to bear that in mind.

Another argument for the nay sayers is the thing about "periods" and etc and the materials for it. For example, having a seperate "laterine" for the female. And so on.


The arguments for them being on the front lines are the same as others.

- Should be allowed for equality in gender
- Women can do anything men can
- Military is being prejudice.


And you know furthermore.

So now those are the arguments.. which side do you take? what is your take on this matter?

Women are physically weaker than men, so they might have issues carrying or dragging fellow wounded soldiers. Other than that, i see no real reason as to why they shouldn't :|

Personally there are some things women shouldn't do.
I don't think they belong on the front lines.

LOL there are obviously other things, but the points i listed are the most important in my mind. Also the sh1t about getting captured and raped just sounds horrible.

But hey, i'm all for equality and for people to have the freedom to make their own choices. More power to them, if that's a path they want to take.

My English professor's friend was pretty close to experiencing the "rape thing". I believe it was in libya or one of the middle eastern/northern african countries.

She was officer in charge of her group. and as the officer she was in the front, when some local "terrorists" ambushed them. She told us that instead of trying to kill her (like they would for men), they tried to capture her alive instead. And she just couldn't help but keep think about the things that could happen if she had been caught. And she said she looked in the mirror and saw her second in charge coming into help her out after he saw what was happening. But she kept telling him to get back in the vehiacle, but again their priority now shifted to make sure their officer was alive. Because normally if it was a male, he would've been dead, and they would have retreated. And after this incident she resigned.

X_X so eh, i'm not even sure on my take on this.

Actually all the safety rules are their for men. Isn't really double standards.. just simply the mentality changes.

It's true. Also I don't think people can comprehend how heavy ammunition is.
Plus all the other stuff you have to pack around. It's insane.
Unless the woman is the Hulk it's not easy. They should stick to jobs that are better suited for them. Like a medic or a cook.
