Women in the military (any nation on Earth)

[ChickenTacos]

What are your thoughts on women in the military?

It doesn't matter what country you are from, currently live in, or are rooting for. How do you feel about this topic? Should our sisters, wives, and daughters be allowed to put themselves in dangerous situation? Can they handle it effectively? Would they hold a squad back? Can their emotional structure be trusted in such conditions? 😬

we don't belong there imo, most women are too soft

[TheHogfather]

Long ago war used to be about plunder and spoils, and women used to be part of that plunder. It's funny that we've come from going to war to take the women, to sending the women off to war.

It depends if they're like Abby from The Last of Us Part 2 or not

1) the meatgrinder does not care about your skin color, gender, age, wealth. As long as you have legs and able to carry a gun.
2) nowadays the wars includes "pushing buttons". A chimp can push buttons. When you're a radio operator i kinda thing women can very much do the job of a man.



3) Russian "night witches" say hello to you.

no, we should ban everyone from serving the military men and women alike

[the vampire of time and memory]

I don't like the draft but nobody wants to serve in the military when there's actual possibility of seeing combat, I would prefer that men and women were drafted equally, rather than just feeding all men to the meatgrinder

there are plenty of jobs women can do in the military, that's a non issue, most countries accept female volunteers into the military

of course, you are wishing to deny any who would want to service their country? both men and women serve in my countries military (georgia).

countries like usa have this strange belief that women should not be serving in combat roles alongside men, but other countries, especially those in east europe/eurasia, figured this out a long time ago. you are not having the "luxury" of only allowing any one kind of persons into the military.

when you are a smaller nation or one that recognises that all peoples can love their country, when you fight for causes beyond the scale of your borders, you do not discriminate. all peoples can serve in the military, if you would not be trusting your any fellow soldiers in your unit because they are women, then YOU are the weak link in the squads cooperation and trust, not them.

While I appreciate your addition to this topic, I 100% disagree with this quoted segment here. That is an unrealistic mindset. If there are clear weaknesses, one should not trust that weakness.

a nation is one race one language one faith one culture.
having kids is the most important task for woman to keep the nation alive.

economics can always improve later.. no amount of depression or labour shortage is reason to pull woman of the important task of producing offspring

and a nation can afford to loose halve its population, as long as all ot looses is all but 1 man, as even one man can inpregnate all the woman.. one generation later nothing will have happend numbers will be as they would be had nobody died.
but every womb lost.. is a deadblow to your nation lowering your population thus your nations size and power and prosperity forever.

thus only as an exteme last resort.. when otherwise the entire nation would be genocided.. should woman be asked to work and even than you want to keep them as far away from danger as you can.
(so producing ammo/nutses not frontline troops)
so woman in the army should be a last resort amongst te last resort.. only of everybody else already has fallen.

to people in the US war is something you are sent off to far away, while to countries that have borders with actual warmongers it's something right at their doorstep and on their mind every day, americans simply can't conceptualise what it's like

They shoot just fine. They have the same brains. Why not?

this is a good point as well. many countries in east europe, eurasia, middle east, we are all sharing borders but not all of us are getting along. another reason that yes, we do not have "luxury" of discriminating who can and cannot be joining our military. usa has not fought a war on its soil for 150+ years, and last one was a civil war. my country had a war on its soil about 17 years ago...when i was growing up. and unfortunately, it is seeming there will be another in my lifetime.

and in this war if it comes, women and men will serve alongside one another again. all soldiers are bound by the blood of comrades, and it is having nothing to do with their gender.

Classically women have been spared due to needing to repopulate after you kill off the men.

This is where the ugly rich dudes who kept themselves out of harms way become popular.

Of course this weakens the society over time by breeding with the lame.


My personal feeling? I think they should do whatever they want, if they can handle it and want to who am I to stop them?

That said I don't think they should get special treatment. Eat with the guys, shower with the guys etc.

When I was in the Navy we had some women on the ship for training. They had special sleeping quarters guarded by marines. Basically treated like little princesses. That was kind of annoying.

the sexual assault rate in many militaries is extremely high, even when companies are only comprised of men. i do not think it is about being treated like "little princesses".
