Even as men and women aren't held to the same standards, women are now officially capable of being infantry, and not just infantry - Rangers. A small number of women have expressed interest, and an even smaller number have qualified. That par for the course no matter what you dangle.
Quote:What would society think if I say women have to give birth to children and stay at home because that’s their nature? Well, that efforts to change that.They'd think..."duh".
Quote:But where are the efforts to change this view of men being expendable? Of opposing this idea of men going to war?You wont get the latter from the military, and you'll only get more ideas of more expendable people, from the same.
Quote:Of course the causes of war go beyond a gender issue, but someone has to fight wars. Who? Men.Everyone fights wars, whether they're officially allowed to serve as combat arms or not.
And yes, women are also affected in the battlefield. When the men get there, at some point in the war.
Honestly, warfighting is the absolute worst example of a structural inequality based on the ambiguity of gender to the detriment of men. It's a thing, sure...but among like things, the smallest thing. Ever shot a man in anger? The number of men that it even conceptually effects, in the west, miniscule...and all of those men are volunteers.
Can you imagine how huge my vagina would have to be to show up here on the boards and complain that the service I signed up for on a whim was rough? Big...giant..pussy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
