Women in Combat

Currently there has been a good amount of debate about women being in combat. What are your views, thoughts, and opinions on the matter?

Here is an article that is against this:
http://www.westernjournalism.com/the-problems-of-women-in-combat-from-a-female-combat-vet/

And here is an article that is for this:
http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-7248767.html

In my opinion, if the woman that wants to be in combat and is qualified to be, she should be allowed to do so.

They argue that it isn't just about equality and someone being allowed to do something if they want to, but that it would actually cause more trouble and give the unit that they are in more vulnerabilities compared to another unit that doesn't have a male replaced by a female.

One example being a female not being able to pick up an injured full grown male with their gear on and being able to carry them to safety.

Here is a quote from the article in OP:
"It’s not all about qualification. I’m speaking as a female Marine Iraq war vet who did serve in the combat zone doing entry checkpoint duty in Fallujah, and we worked with the grunts daily for that time. All the branches still have different standards for females and males. Why? Because most women wouldn’t even qualify to be in the military if they didn’t have separate standards. Men and women are different, but those pushing women into combat don’t want to admit that truth. They huff and puff about how women can do whatever men can do, but it just ain’t so. We’re built differently, and it doesn’t matter that one particular woman could best one particular man. The best woman is still no match for the best man, and most of the men she’d be fireman-carrying off the battlefield will be at least 100 lbs heavier than her with their gear on."

Shouldnt be allowed.

Women shouldn't be allowed on the battlefield, let them stay back at campsites to help out/be medics and shit.

Gays = completely fine. Idk why people say they shouldn't, it's a straight dude who likes dicks, get over it.

Why would they even want to join.......
Shouldnt be allowed, unless they were physically capable.

Yeah, they shouldn't be allowed. I read the article where it's against women in combat and there's just too many negatives to risk.

@"Daniel", it looks like you need to defend your case.

I don't really care lol. I just say that if the woman is qualified, can do the same as a man can, and won't cause any difficulties, I don't see why she shouldn't be able to go.

Most of the chicks have bigger dicks than the blokes let them fight.

I agree with the female marine's argument. The battlefield isn't a place for being politically correct when it can negatively affect what is going on and cost people lives.

The battlefield is where we get the job done as best as possible with minimum casualties so that we can protect the people who want to be politically correct and safe at home.

If the woman can pick up a 170+ man when he's injured, while carrying all of her equipment, and carry him back to safety, she can go out on the battlefield

End of discussion.

That woman would have an Adam's apple almost as big as her balls.

But theres other cases, such as periods and what not.
Or captivity, if they get held prisoners, it's obvious the girls will get raped.
