Its also a huge problem because of biologically wired protection instincts. There was a study done, I'll try to find it. Basically, men may ignore orders etc in order to protect the women in the group and thus endanger the whole group and potentially ruin the mission.
Of course, the media never mentions these facts as they imply biological differences in the sexes.

They asked for it, now they're going to get it.
A chance to prove themselves as equal to men on the battlefield. Let's how much male privilege they feel when they're getting their legs ripped off by an insurgent IED.
It's just too bad dozens or even hundreds of men are going to die as a direct consequence of this decision, not to mention our fighting force will be drastically weakened.
When will it ever be enough for them?

If they're lowering the standards to allow them in, they're lowering the standards of their soldiers. This difference is negligible if you were talking about logistical, engineering, intelligence etc, but physical fitness is incredibly important in infantry.
This is bad news. That takes us one step closer to the day the British Army will try the same bullshit.
How long till women want the standards of special forces to be lowered to allow them in?

Another problem is that horny dudes on deployments will be put with women and inevitably "rape" & "sexual harassment" will become a serious issue.
Oh, well.
One of my hopes is that the US military gets slowly defunded. No more foreign wars means they will mostly do maintenance, drills and simulations, so hopefully this development will become moot.

i dont see a problem with this. i was angry when i had to sign my draft papers at 18 and the women turning 18 didnt. this was and still is not fair. why are mens lives worth less?
i do think this could be a problem as a group of soldiers is only as strong as its weakest link. but to get around this just make all female units, that will cut down on male casulities, and rape charges.

This is a fantastic idea. We should have all female infantry units as well. Guys are expendable but when female bodies start piling up the American people will have a sudden change of heart about these foreign excursions and demand their cessation. It will also serve as a reality check about the physical capability of women versus those of men. The body count will prove the blank slatists wrong.

So this means they have to sign up for the Selective Service, right?

I say give it a few years and see how it turns out. If women perform shitty and put their fellow men in danger by their presence then we can forever bring closure to this topic. If they actually manage to fill a role that makes the armed forces more successful, well then that's to the best for everyone. Win/win the way I see it. (well maybe not for the poor sods that will give their lives if women fuck up in the field)

This just speaks to where we are as a country. The WWII generation wouldn't have any of this nonsense.

I ask myself, can I imagine either of my granddads landing on Omaha Beach with a LC full of women?
Can I imagine my grandfather getting pulled from his post after being shot by a Nazi machine gun during the Battle of the Bulge by a lady?
This is a low moment for America.

I don't see a problem with this as long as it means they are opening up the opportunity to qualify for these positions - not simply handing them out to women you aren't up to the standard as set by and for men. Just don't lower the standards.

Who cares? Our military's efficiency in it's ability to invade sandy countries full of brown people is really that important to you guys?
I hope they make them register for selective service too, while they're at it. Lets see just how far equality goes before women realize they were better off under the shelter of the "patriarchy". xD

They should let women do the same stuff that the guys do.
But, they should also make sure and test them women to see if they can lift the amount of weight and score the same exact thing that the guys do on the tests. She should also be able to beat up the guys as easily the guys can.
Only then should she be allowed to fight.

Actually, its a genius move.
Say that women will be assigned to combat, then fewer women will enlist.

Look at all the efforts to get women into STEM fields...they haven't been very effective. The same is likely to be true for this: there will not be a stampede of women going into combat roles...it's just not in their nature.

the hr department of the army is gonna get overloaded with sexually harassment and assault claims.
they say more woman soldiers are raped than killed in combat.
do you think it will get better when they drop these chicks into all male units on the front line?

Someday soon America will have the armed forces it deserves.
