There is no trust between men and women in the Army right now because of the lynch mob mentality out to get any man who utters something that someone might find offensive. No man that I know ever counsels a woman alone- or does anything alone with one. Oh- and let's not forget the issues with deployment hook-ups (remember Petraeus?). If you've ever served in a NATO HQs deployed and watched the insanity as everyone hooks up like it was Spring Break...
- Most countries we deploy SF to can't handle women instructing men or hanging out with them in the bush. This could affect our foreign policy --- what do we do in the event of an international incident? http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/S...ce-2882935.php
- The US Army is really all about being politically correct. They are about outcomes- not opportunity. If they were about opportunity then Airborne School would still be hard like it was prior to women going there and we wouldn't have separate PT standards. And separation boards wouldn't be kicking out good male soldiers and keeping terrible females to meet quotas. And Ranger School wouldn't have had so much attention... So- no-one has ANY trust that the leaders will just allow women to try out--- no- everyone is pretty sure that no-one will rest until there are a certain number/percentage in.
- The real motivation behind all of this is social change. http://smallwarsjournal.com/print/32801 This is very different than what our allies have done. Instead of just opening jobs to women- American interest groups are trying to drive out the traditional heterosexual male culture in this country- starting with the military... |
I guess you don't mean "hook-up" as in "Stand Up, Check Equipment, Hook Up, Check Static Lines,..."
