Should women be allowed to join the army/marines/navy?

Question

Your opinion, yes or no?

Answer 1

Yes and no.  I am a woman but I am not one of those people that think women should be able to do all the same things that men can do, because we can't.  They are already there and I do not care that they are in but there are drawbacks.  On the ships, they have to have separate berthings and bathrooms, they can be distracting.  The military didn't have to worry about sexual harassment or maternity leave or being PC in front of a woman.  I hate when women want to be treated as equals but then they get pregnant and they get out of deployments, and sit on their behind until the baby is born.  Bring on the thumbs down but I would rather they were not in, unless they were doing desk jobs or something like that.  

Answer 2

Where have you been for the last 33 years?  There are no separates branches for women in the military, women have been joining the Army, Marines and Navy ever since the separate branches were eliminated in 1975!

Answer 3

They are allowed to join and currently serve. They however are not allowed in combat roles, which in my opinion does not show true equality for the feminist movement.

Answer 4

I don't see why not. Anyone fit for service should be allowed to serve.

Answer 5

What do you mean "should"?  Are there any countries where they are not?

Yes, absolutely they should be allowed.

Answer 6

They are and yes I agree.  

Answer 7

Of course! Woman are capable of everything!  

Answer 8

Of course they should.  Feminists rights activists will strongly disagree with what I say next, but facts are facts.  Women should not be allowed in combat.  In a combat situation, you rely on instinct, primal urge, and survival skills.  As instinct, you will take the role as a protector of women, and you will make mistakes.  Chances are, women could very well cause a higher casualty rating simply by being there, regardless of how well they are trained.  Is it fair, of course not.  but it is nature.  Some would argue it isn't fair men don't have babies, but we must follow the laws of nature.  Women don't belong in combat.  It sucks, get over it.  But absolutely they should be able to serve their country.  There are several hundred jobs that do not involve infantry, that will still allow an active and rewarding role in our military.  Not just nurses and cooks.

Answer 9

Of-cause Its not just men who make up an army it is women also.

Answer 10

I served in the Air Force with and under the command of women. They were just as capable as the men. But I served in a support role and never saw combat.

Personally I believe that women, in general, should not serve in combat. It is a physiological fact that the human female body isn't as well suited for combat.

Now let me get off here before my wife kicks my a$$.

Answer 11

Yes...but non-combat MOS's

To The MRS~ Thats great hun...I hate when military spouses think they know everything about the military just because their husband is in...get your *** outta the kitchen because all that pie baking is obviously got to yer head.

Answer 12

As long as they are not in combat MOS's. They have proven to be somewhat disruptive and degrading to the service over all, but they have their place.  

Answer 13

wow..."The Mrs." is a fuXkin r****d...lmao...an-y-who...ofcourse they "should" be aloud...everyone deserves the right to defend and to serve
