US to open all combat roles to women

[DARKSEID]

I can see how that could cause a lot of unnecessary drama and complications in the ranks.

Men always act different when you introduce women into a situation. Women can turn a brotherhood into a dick measuring competition.

they can't carry the loads.

men can barely.

read a lot of guys with knee, skeletal issues coming back from the war because of the weight of their combat loads.

Yup. My back is ****ed up and im only 24.


Hell it started hurting in SOI when I was 18.

It's going to be a huge mess. I can't believe they're doing this.

armor is what 20-40 lbs. depending on plates?

plus 60-80 lb. pack?

plus weapons?

IBA weighs about 30 pounds, but when you wear it all day it takes a toll. Plus that **** digs in your back.


Pack is about 70lbs, plus water, food and all that other crap it could be 80.


All in all, it kills especially on long hikes, longest hike you do in SOI is 12 miles. When you get to your unit it all depends on your CO. We hiked a lot though.

not sure how i feel about this either. i wouldn't have the slightest idea what i'm talking about, but i'd probably lean toward the side of it being a bad idea.

[SilverMiles]

This is a terrible idea.

[SouthPawHitman]

I'd go AWOL with a vagina in my platoon.

[paulf]

Kind of a lose-lose.

But you know what? I'm sure there are piss-poor male soldiers that **** things up for their units, too.

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Great idea.

Being realistic our current enemies (and for the forseeable future) are all Muslim.

Pieces of **** are more valuable than women in an Islamic society.

Being killed by a woman is disastrous to them to say the least.
