Should Women be allowed to serve in hand to hand combat in the military?

What, you don't remember filling out that form? Multiple orgasms sounded nice, but perioRAB and pregancy made it seem like a bad tradeoff so I went for the higher paycheck. Didn't you get to choose? How barbaric!

SounRAB good to me....I apologize for getting a little upset when we first met....I was wrong.........I guess sometimes I am little over the top about my political beliefs but as you can tell I am very passionate about them....I l ove this country and sometimes am very disappointed to see the way it is going.....

I have know Missouri Mule for a couple of years and he is a good guy and very strong on his conservative beliefs.......We email each other all the time and I am trying to get him to return here.........

Ask Jessica Lynch what??? ROFLMAO I would like her to tell you exactly what she thinks about youre posting and bringing her name into this. She was quite upset about the government making a hero out of her and lying to try and use the news to influence the american public.

And a woman is stronger than a man in the army? Can she have the job?

What do you mean by that?

But how do you respond to my question about being in hand to hand combat and having a 5 ft 100 lb woman at your back?

Truthsayer,

I am a woman and a liberated one, I like to think. If someone is going through a door and they hold it for me, I think that is polite and it could and should be either a man or a woman. If I'm there first, I'll get the door and vice verse.

Is there much hand-to-hand combat anymore? If so, I can think of many women who could handle it. Women trained in the martial arts can do amazing things. Women can shoot as well as anyone also.

Even if we only allow them in support services, I think the recent Middle East conflicts have shown that they have to be able to protect themselves and their units as well. I would rather they got the training and not need it than not get the training.

So I vote a big "yes" for being polite and for training women to be self-sufficient and dependent on no one but delighted to accept kindness and civility.

Some women are fit for hand to hand, some are not. Maybe the army could create tests for for women to see if they're fit.

Yes, of course. But the standarRAB should be the same for women and men. If a man must do 20 pushups, so should a woman
