What a disappointing comment.

As a former Marine, I see no problem allowing women in combat. Some of the females I saw in the Marines could kick my arse and not break a sweat.

If the wimmins can train and pass the requirements right along with the men, I say no problem.

P.S. The first two (both officers) have already flunked out.

I'm of the opinion that women should not be on the front lines. It's not like you can call in when you're menstrual. dumb ####s.

I, too, am an advocate of setting a standard that everyone must pass to advance, regardless of gender. Lowering the standards to accommodate women hurts us pretty badly by ensuring contention instead of encouraging cohesion or acceptance.

They are gay, so it won't matter.

Seriously, if they can meet the requirements, why not let them in combat. I would think anyone of your friends dead would be a distraction. An angry women is more scary in my opinion.

I realize this is a very controversial statement I'm about to make but I hope the next step is to either require women to sign up for selective service or to do away with it altogether.

entire NON Combat Units were sidelined in the 1990's in the run up to Desert Storm, because women did not want to get deployed to combat zones over seas ...

.... so they chose to spread their legs like good little whores, get knocked up, so they could stay home ......


yes that was meant to be insulting ..... do not sign up for the JOB then cop out by getting pregnant .....


I think NO Women should be serving in front line units .... combat or not

but if you are going to allow this, there should be mandatory BC until the enlistment is over ..... you want kids, get out
