Women on the front lines...

[CSP]

Women clearance divers... I think not.

There has already been one mate.

Just like there was a woman that topped the SAS training course about 12 years ago in the Army.

I dunno man... chicks can be pretty tough. I hear child birth goes for hours and can be incredibly distressing. Pretty sure I've heard of one or two 'men' not coping too well just watching it, let alone doing it themselves!

There was a guy on TV once who put himself through a simulated childbirth (I think they were using electrical stimulation to simulate the contractions), he couldn't hack it and quit. All I am saying on this is give them a go, if it doesn't work then just end the experiment.

Haven't heard of any here in CDT4, then again I've been told the only reason there is no women CD's is that it would cost too much to kit them out with specilized diving kit. So I don't know.

Herp herp herp herp.
Do you not think if women could give up during child birth they would?

Hmm, quick question, those who think this is a good idea, have you ever served in the defence force? At a guess, I would say most will sya no.

A very good read that.

Hell yes. I just wanted it to end with my first one, but sadly you can't just quit.

Now the Australian military is being ridiculed by foreign governments... Saying things like "I guess the men are just too tired or don't want to do it any more".

I lol'd when I caught the end of that on the radio this morning.

I wonder which foreign governments... Saudi Arabia maybe? I don't think it'd be western governments.

yeah... because they treat women so fairly anyway .

was that an ankle exposed in public? stone her!!!!

[calaiscruzer]

I reckon if a woman can't pick up a fellow soldier who is 10k0kg+, throw them over their shoulder then run 100m to safety...then i reckon they will be no help in a danger-close situation. How many women could do that?

lol are the Arab women allowed to drive Humvee's or No? Tanks?

what happens if a female gets captured ?

does she assume and accepts the risks of what will happen to her before being killed

British, US for a start. Has been happening for the last decade with all this airy fairy feelgood crap.

Am I missing something? The US and UK would be laughing at us as the post I was responding to says? See below..

I think the answer is obvious. If she's going to go to war she has to accept that shit happens, and if captured some sick bastards on the other team could do what they want with her.
Didn't you hear each girl going into combat will be given a tube of superlgue which she can use if things turn nasty.
