Women with military experience should decide about women in combat

I was watching a television short that showed how the military go to a battle ground in trucks for hours at a time, having bottles to relieve themselves, no time or place to wash, in intense heat, or cold, etc. At least in the olden days, men matched and could go into the woods or take a bath in a stream, but not now. No woman would put up with that. Women who have been in combat know what it is like. They know about the danger of rape from enemy combatants who regard women as second class citizens and female prisoners as property. Unfortunately Obama does not know that or prefers not to know.

I think if a woman is in marines, they are trained to fight just like a man is. or at least they should be. Right??

Hi stary, I saw your discussion and could not agree more. I think war is terrible. I also agree that only women with military experience should make any kind of decision regarding women going into combat.

Yes, its totally up to the female military person. I would never want to be in military on the front lines, that is just me. There are many females who are in the military and I'm guessing would love to be in the frontline or not. So its their decision and shouldn't be anyone elses. I think if this is what they really want go for it. If its not what they want then they can say no to it.

Hi it might be able to help them get promted faster if the military is thier life higher rank means more money for the ladies,and I know some who just like the challnge we guys like.yes it dangous,but when the ladies get out of the service they can find jobs in the police dept.usually with no probelm. have good day.
