Untied States opens combat postions to women
 

Why not? Kurdish women are fighting on the front lines.

I've always wondered how this would work.

When I was in the Marines (You knew that, right?) we used to go out in the field for weeks at a time and we looked forward to the times when the motor transport section came out to support us - because they had women in the unit and it was the only time we would see women while we were out in the field.

I can see this as being a huge distraction for our military forces. I am all for equality and women in the work place (women should have the same right to get killed for their country as men do), but this is not the typical work place.... Military forces are mostly made up of younger men, and even more so in forward facing combat units - horny young men who spend all of their time thinking about getting laid.

who cares. it doesnt matter. obama is NEVER going to use the regular boots for anything. & troops are going to be automated, just like pilots are on the way out. there will be specialty jobs needed, but not a big column of boots any longer.

:2 cents:

I'm interested in seeing how well this works out for the Artillery and Combat Engineers.

I'm all for equal rights but some jobs are just better suited for men. Frontline fighters. Hunters and gatherers.

Female Kurds have been known to kill themselves to avoid being taken hostage. Nothing ISIS wants more than to take a female US solider. Remember Jessica Lynch? She wasn't taken by ISIS but their fates the same.

US doesn't go into war much anyways. Just might need to double up on sexual harassment courses. I don't hear about that much anymore, But just the same.

You don't want a bunch of class action lawsuits when a guy tells a girl to grow some balls or something like that.

Maybe we should tie them back up...

Just send them into battle with bleeding cunts...they will take no prisoners!
