Strength matters very much especially when trying to carry a wounded person off the field. But like I said I know some women that can lift more than I can. That isn't the norm but possible. Again.. Just make the physical requirements exactly the same.

LOL I know some women that are stronger than I am. I am for women in combat. Just make the physical requirements the same across the board. In the Marines Men had to do regular push ups. Women did them from their knees men from their toes. That shit needs to stop. Equal is equal. Either we all recognize and act like we are the same or we realize and act like we are different. Rhino

Damn Good question.. I guess discussing Jock Itch just isn't in the master plan for Dropzone.com.. LOL

US mulls ban on women in combat... I'm interested in knowing how the ladies feel about this??????? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4560847.stm US mulls ban on women in combat By Adam Brookes BBC News, Washington Private Jessica Lynch at her homecoming Private Jessica Lynch is one of the US' best-known soldiers Republicans in the US Congress are trying to pass legislation which would keep female soldiers out of combat. The measure is being considered now by the House Armed Services Committee. Advocates of the proposal want to stop women from working as drivers, medics and logistics specialists in teams which provide back-up to combat units. They say the women get too close to the fighting. But the US army is opposed to the plan at a time when they are having problems with recruitment. Senior officers have said if it passes into law, they will have to pull out 22,000 female soldiers from their current jobs and replace them with men. No front line Women who serve in the US army are barred by law from fighting on the front line. Uncle Sam recruiting poster made famous during two world wars The US army faces recruitment problems But in Iraq, the US is fighting an insurgency - which means there is no front line. About 9,000 women are serving in Iraq and 35 have been killed. Combat can happen anywhere at any time, and women have frequently been caught up in it. Republican lawmakers in the Congress now want to pass a measure which would keep women out of units called Forward Support Companies. The army is deeply opposed to the measure. Underlying the army's opposition are the problems it is having recruiting new troops. For the last three months, the army has failed to meet its recruiting targets. At the moment it looks set to miss its annual target by 15%. Further limiting the roles women can fill in the military will make its task even harder.

Interesting take..

lol

Do you honestly think we KNEW they were BAD as you say when we were "supporting" them?

good one!

And people that haven't fought for it damn sure don't understand.

True.. Yet if he would read later posts I've made I stated that anyone talking about turning any country into a glass parking lot is just wrong. Myself included. But he chose not to read that part

Speak for yourself and not everyone else. Prove what you are saying.. Everything I've read says differently. Money helped but Bush got himself elected.

Why do you keep saying WE? Who the fuck are you? Politicians made those decisions. The American people have little to NO influence on politicians. Hell we didn't even technically elect Bush for his first term. What does that tell you? Get pissed at politicians not Americans. Americans are just working for a living trying to scrape out some happiness. Politicians are all about their own agendas and big business. Rhino

Semper Fi! Sgt. C, U.S. Marines

Go join them in the streets.. You are being immature and fanatic just like those assholes that are in a frenzy over something that never happened. Even if it did.. Their response is totally fucking uncalled for. Stop labeling our whole country because of something ONE person was accused of doing. That is idiotic. But then again so is the vast majority of your US bashing threads.

Go burn a fucking flag if it makes you feel better. Than stop at the nearest store and get extra large tampons for yourself.

To some people... Not to me or any other veteran that has given blood, sweat and tears for it. It's a bit more than a piece of cloth to us.

Any more incidents lately than could be attributed to this? Any possibilities?

Very well said..

It's not a we thing. This tendancy to classify groups of people is why this whole thing is out of hand. Now.. If the whole USA went out and bought a Quran and we had National Piss on Your Quran and flush it down the toilet day.. Muslims would have a real reason to hate the US.

lol on the wife stuff. It isn't a matter of being a tough guy. I just couldn't put up with it. Just like I cannot let a man strike a woman in front of me. It's my belief system and I am willing to do jail time to enforce it. I think most men would.

I wouldn't try.. I would just do it.. Instead I avoid those situations to begin with. Preventive maintenance. If we are at the wffc, and some asshat decides to lite up a flag in front of me he's going down. I'm not going to recruit 20 shitheads and fly airliners into office buildings in his country. Huge difference here Bill. lol

What do those posts have to do with this one? Nothing at all... Anyone talking about nuking a country because a couple of fucknuts is wrong. That includes me.

AnyONE is correct.. I won't declare a tampon war against their whole race for gods sake.. That's correct. Burn a flag in my presence and your "anyones" right to free speech ends at least temporarily. When I'm in cuffs and when "said named person wakes up" he can start blabbing again.. In 6 months when his jaw functions again.. If I flush a Quran down the toilet in front of a Muslim I would expect him to try and whip my ass. Rhino

You have SELECTIVE READING. Read one more sentence further then apologize.. Unfuckingbelievable...

Not saying it's cool... No one said that..
