hello DOC 3 people

Shut the fuck up i am a man and it said that they lifted the ban they still have to meet the requirements to go into combat so if a woman would ever meet the requirements I'm sure she is going to be prepared just as much as men

I'm all for it.  We should take back a woman's right to vote until we extend selective service to cover them.

What difference does it make? Women see combat in Iraq and Afghanistan incidentally, and under no circumstance do they hunt down the enemy themselves or are purposely ordered to enter the line of fire. Its not going to happen anyway. Sorry but women will never be treated the same amongst Infantry platoons, thats just the reality of it. If women were in the Infantry sexual harassment and rape will sky rocket. Women will not be allowed, get over it.

Here's a scenario for you man! Since women can now have combat MOS's does that mean they have to sign up for selective service when they turn 18? Women want to be equal right? God forbid another world war occur and little beauty queen Stacy just got drafted as an 11x or 0311. They don't realize what they are getting into. How's that for you?

women are not as strong as men .they have lower stamina .so when you break down in the field you will endanger the man who has to pick you up and carry you load.

[username0u812ic]

women in combat by thier own admission cannot keep up and perform the same duties when the bullets start flying and people start dieing.

I'm fucking pissed that feminists got what they wanted. I'm in the army and no way in hell I want to go to fucking combat. Dumb ass feminists, why don't they just realize we will NEVER be equal to men.

[foreverinthekitchen8]

One of them dropped the other was forced to drop because she broke a bone or something and she wouldn't give up. I agree with you 100 percent though, no matter how much women bitch WE WILL NEVER be equal to men. It is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for women to be equal to men. Fuck all these retarded feminists.
