Drafting women

Well, another one of our country's established values has crumbled. Being a gentleman and respecting women will soon disappear altogether I suppose. It is sad watching your country disintegrate slowly.

Well, equal is a math term meaning same. Since according to the same group of morons that think women = men and “can” be “infantryMEN” and that group of morons think that women should not be treated the same (equal) is just... well, moronic. I’m for going the full 100.... if a woman is drafted and is or becomes pregnant, abortion is legal and should be used to terminate the pregnancy, you know, equal. I say, make things so equal that the obvious stupidity of their false arguments are brought out into the sunlight.

I say all of that and then argue that we should just go back to the way it was, around say, before chicks in the infantry / armor / SF / Rangers / etc because as I’m sure we all know, men are NOT equal to women. Men don’t get pregnant, are stronger physically, and are generally built to fight. Women are not.

I’m glad I can retire.

I am in complete agreement with your views on this matter. That being said you know, more than likely there will never be an airport named after you.

Well, as per this dated article in 2016 18% of Army officers were women and 14% of enlisted were female.

How do we stack up against other large Armies? About twice as many as most.
