Thoughts on the passing scene.

1. Yes, women are better shots than men. Basic fact and why for years the men and women competed at different comps. If you don't believe me then you need to check out who has been wining a lot of the long range comps, a mom and her two daughters.

2. What does this have to do with sniping? Not a damned thing, sorry again. Sniping is a mental and physical act that requires it all to be tuned. Most females are tuned mentally for being maternal. That is the reason why the top female Soviet sniper referred to her targets as sticks. It depersonalized the act, "I broke two sticks today".

3. Soviets used females as snipers and bomber pilots (The Night Witches). Not altogether successful with it. Females were not used in the front line infantry as they cannot handle the strength requirements of moving fast with weapon and basic load over and extended period. The US setting up separate physical requirements for men and women negate reality of the situation and these same women will bitch, (actually won't go only want to stir up shit) if they have to do the same push ups, sit ups etc.

4. The Israelis' experiment was due to the need of bodies and they were used mainly as front line commo and not front line grunts. Again a failure due to the male gene of species survival in which the female is protected to reproduce. Not sexist, just facts and proven over and over. The present Israeli sniper course is taught mainly by women for their ability to shoot and teach. Most are rated teachers. The Field Craft and tactics portion is all male though.

5. Comparing the US with Soviet Union under all out war and needing bodies or the the same with Israel is asking for screwed up results. Apples and Oranges. This is a decision making process based on political BS and not on sound stats.

6. Sorry, keep the women out of the front line infantry units. It is not a good match and Ranger is really asking for trouble. This is PC gone berserk and damned dangerous. Yes, as TS pointed out, we take care of our own, but we do not try to protect our own, we protect the mission and putting females into the mix is a mission problem.

7. I have worked with females under a number of situations, I know how this works out and WILL play out.

8. MOO.

9. Not what you expected was it Teddy?
