This is going to get really ugly. Terrible idea. http://www.usnews.com/news/politics...ary-has-to-decide-which-combat-jobs-for-women
I think damn few women will seek combat jobs except for pilots, maybe. Fewer will be able to hack it. If any woman ever manages to pass SEAL training, then she officially has a dick and will do OK. One in a million, maybe.
I don't have a problem with them being pilots, hell they usually have more attention to detail and finess then us males anyway (its why I prefer a female dentist) as for Seal/Delta/18Series Army (green berets for you non military folk) Oh those poor bastards. Because it would be impossible to "single" out the chic in the class, it means the entire group will be punished and punished severely. As if BUDs isn't hard enough. I can see this going the way of Shannon Faulkner. Look for lots of homemade porn involving 3 guys and a girl inside an M1 Abrams tank coming to a computer screen near you soon.
Are they going to do away with the separate standards for men and women, or will women in combat roles have to meet the same standards men do?
Just another added PITA because what exactly do you do? How? Equal pay = equal work right? I bet that doesn't fly. This world has officially gone to hell in the hand basket.
This will be a fuckshow. I'm not a "a woman's place is in the kitchen" guy necessarily but there are some boundaries that should be followed by both sexes. Women in combat just doesn't make sense to me. i don't see the need.
