Question by Kev: Do women really belong in the military?
First and foremost, just calling a spade a spade. The only time I worked with women was in the Navy. Man it was bad. Women did all the easy work (if anything) like paperwork and men did all the tough jobs. They were getting themselves pregnant to skip out of deployment. I transfered to an all male command, and it was a thousand times better. No PC enviornment. No pregnancies to deal with. None of my subordinates had females to fight over. No chemistry between anyone to interfere with their jobs. Didn’t have to take up their slack. All this money spent on women could be put to better use. It’s is my opinion women don’t belong and I want to hear all of yours too, provided any “yes” answer uses logic rather than basing your answer on reasons of equality or PC correctness.
@ Jackie- Adapted? Hah! Are women in general going to get as strong as men? Are their bodies’s reproductive sytem going to shut down a few months before deployment. How exactly? If you or anyone else truely believes women are just as capable in the physical department, let’s take a lesson from our Israeli friends. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/11/01/israel.soldiers.ap/index.html
@Rich K- In a way, we’re not in total disagreement. On shore duty, it’s just like any other 9-5 jobs, very few, if any problems. Deployments are the biggies. Maybe those initial glitches weren’t really initial, were they.

“Getting themselves pregnant”?? Wow – that must have been some trick – have you considered writing a paper on this phenomenon? I don’t want to be in the military, because I’d have to put up with people like you, but if some other woman wants to do it, I think it’s fine. I’d much rather have a woman at my back than a man – women have quicker reflexes, better eyesight, and a better sense of smell – so yes, I think some women belong in the military, and as you’ve demonstrated so clearly, some men DON’T belong anywhere civilized.
