Our military elders do the same thing.
I confess I do not really know if the Chinese Army has women soldiers. Do they? Just curious.

no idea
 
That's why I say let women try... Because vast majority of them wouldn't be able to hold up with the men. Yes there are many men who cannot carry a 100 lbs bag, but there are also many more who can.
however my opinion is, if women can hang with the men, then they earned their spot.

I agree.

Are you fine with 18 year old girls being required to registry for the draft?

No. But that could be a side result if women are allowed to fill all combat positions. Then, if the draft is ever reinstated, they could be forced into the military along with the young men. I would not be "fine" with that either.

Whoever said women lack the stigma clearly is forgetting that many women carry a baby in the womb for nine months and then go through delivery. NOW tell me again that women don't have the stigma?

Do you mean stamina?

Normal pregnancy isn't the same as combat.

They also forget how men behave when they have a common cold. You would think they were dying of flesh-eating bacteria. No offense to my guy buddies, but seriously...come on. We know it's true! ;)

When they're at home they behave one way; when it's a life-or-death situation, they behave another way.

Stamina, yes. Thanks for correcting my spelling error. ;)

Yes, they do have women soldiers. From the looks of this video, they serve as a 60's style armed chorus line, complete with mini skirts and white go-go boots.

Amen. They need to stop generalizing women. Some women are capable of handling it.

Some . . . how many? A large enough percentage to make the assignments worthwhile?

But generalizing men is ok? I do realize your comment was intended to be light-hearted.

I have a relative that has been fighting cancer for a year. He has never once complained. Just a thought.
