I have a serous question. Since women aren't allowed to do infantry and artillery as their specialty or job, are they not allowed to go into combat?

[3rdID8487]

@ohsosyd14 Women serve in all many roles that place them in combat. MP, Female Engagement Teams, and more. The first Silver Star for Honor since WW2 was awarded to a female MP for combat with the enemy. A MP convoy that was ambushed by over 150 enemy and 10 MP's. No losses on our side and over 75 on theirs. Rest fled. The female engaged in close (within 10-15 feet) battle and won. Look at the video I attached to this one.

@ohsosyd14 i don think so, coz moset women cant survive when captured, u know wat will happen to them if they get caught, especially by goat fuckers

[3rdID8487]

@hinginana The female that was captured in the start of the war Jessica something, she survived and was rescued. SO they can survive also.

Finally! A real u.s military video with no misleading titles such as "U.s soldiers torture Iraqi kids"

@GamekidCentral There are about 4000 others like it on this channel, have fun...

[hinginana]

@3rdID8487 depends on who captured her, she was lucky that she was captured by gay people loooooooool

@ohsosyd14 ...female rto in a trans unit to be directly engaged with the enemy during an ambushed convoy scenario, etc. So in answer to your question, no women can not enlist in a specifically combat-oriented mos but the nature of warfare in the middle east puts many combat support personnel into hostile situations rather frequently.

[mattaguitar5]

@ohsosyd14 by description, women arent allowed to enlist in mos's that are considered "combat arms" however the type of unconventional urban guerrilla warfare that we've encountered in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade have essentially diminished the concept of 'front lines' because there really is no clear distinction between fronts anymore. Because of this, it puts many non-combat arms (i.e. support) units into play through convoys and such. Its not uncommon these days for some...

i like how liberals say that there killing for fun when there boosting there economy

[TheVKfan1]

My biggest problem with this is the constant feeling of being on edge the soldiers must be feeling. I know I would. If I were to join, I'd try to stick to..less confrontational means of being in.
