    Read it very very carefully and see if you can actually comprehend the meaning of the words.

    Did you get it yet?

    And we wouldn't be spending so much money to keep our troops all around the globe.

    As much as I would like to dissolve the standing army and save money, the founders never had to face forces that could be in any place in the world in under 20 hours. Some semblance of a standing army is needed in todays age of travel. Yes, for any force that may try to attack our main land, they would get through pretty quickly, like in Red Dawn, but they would be met with the guerrilla war fare that we faced in Vietnam. Even the Chinese bringing their full force would eventually, over years if not decades, may lose a significant amount of troops before they gave up. But to truly keep us safe, we just need to bring the troops home and keep them on the borders.

    Yeah but keep in mind that NATO and SEATO still exist.
    It would be rather interesting to see how Russia will bypass the former and China bypass the latter or why either would want to since it would exhaust their resources, lead to a world wide economic catastrophe, and multiple millions upon millions would be killed.

    Up to this time, those legs were exclusively straight male. As far as everyone was concerned, this was not a problem so long as these guys were the ones getting raped.

    Double standards, much?

    They used to say the same about women as police officers or fire fighters.

    Where is male rape being overlooked in the US military and what has that to do with the obvious that women aren't physically built for front-line combat?

    What is this whataboutism?

    And it's frequently true, and to prove that point they've been lowering standards in both fields.

    Do you really think those 5'4" female firefighters can carry a 150 body down 5 flights of stairs? Do you really think a woman of that size as a cop can fight off a 300 lb crackhead attacker?

    Why do you doggedly insist women bust into every field that demands a higher level of physical ability and size?

    Neither are many men. I have known women that could kick a man's azz with her bare hands and I've seen them shoot and stab men so no, I don't see how obvious your sexism is...

    Equal opportunity for all.
    Like it or not, it's the law.
    Obey it.

    Many women have tried to meet the male standards. They have failed to. As an infantryman (when enlisted- but I'll always be one), if a woman can meet the same standards as a man, then good I've got no problem with that. All these women you are talking about that can meet the standards, send them to the recruiters.

    Perhaps a butch-type woman and a weakling male, sure. Exceptions, not the rule.

    And noticing the physical/strength differences between men and women isn't "sexism."

    Junk law, needs to be amended. No such thing as "equal opportunity" to begin with.

    Your earlier link? Too vague. I'm not digging around the forum.

    I have woman in my company as we speak. Not one can meet the male standards for infantry school. I had 6/7 fall out of an 8 mile ruck. These women have already completed Basic and AIT for their MOS.

    The core of the issue is the female bone structure. Infantry school is hardest on the bones. You can't lower the standards for females who are supposed to be equally the warrior when going into battle with the same MOS.

    What if the time comes when she needs to do TWO buddy carries? The females I have right now- 3 of them FAILED the buddy carry and had to recycle the next day.

    As I said, I support ANYONE joining the infantry. They MUST all meet the SAME standard.

    Wow you are just confused. Do you want to abolish the standing Army to avoid sexual harassment or integrate bathroom facilities? Make up your mind.

    If you troubled yourself to read my post you would readily discern that abolishing the standing army is in compliance with the wishes and instructions of our Founders.

    See? Easy.

    That has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. If you want to discuss disbanding the standing Army, please start a thread on that topic. But otherwise, it's a sad excuse to avoid the subject matter of this thread. Nice attempt at a distraction though!

    you're not reading anything

    it is an easy solution to the problem raised in the OP - yes we know it's not something you want but it would readily help solve it
