the main reason women at least in the british army arent used in these kind of things is that if they are captuered or killed it destroys morale

To say that females have a scent during their menstruation cycle is true. To say that scent can be tracked by dogs is true. However to ignore the fact that ANY human scent can?t be track is would be just as fallible and argument as the former statement.

Before this conversation could begin to gain a shred of credibility, many of you need to realize that you are answering two different questions. Many of you are answering whether women should be allowed in combat while other are talking about women in S/O. Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but women are in combat. Her MOS might not indicate infantry or other combat arms, but from the military brass's perspective, MP's make just as good of shooters.

I am not a SF operator and frankly I have no desire to become one, but many of you need to at least educate yourselves as o what SF does vs. what it appears they do. SF does not hump around the world with 200lbs of gear no matter what the movies tell you they do, this is not Vietnam and certainly not WWII.

The lack of credible information in these arguments is astounding and honestly it?s quite embarrassing that people who are even on a site such a strategy page/servicemen/interested in the military would even make the types of assertions without at least fact checking them.

1. Pregnancy - This implies that all females interested in a SF career have no control over their sexual lives. There are plenty of options here that can be practiced by females. Abstinence, Contraception Intrauterine Device (IUD), and lastly abortion (taboo)

2. Menstruation - studies have shown that fewer than 17% body fat, women tend to cease their cycles.

 - I'd like to add a small caveat about the male hormonal cycle as well. Each man has a similar cycle to women regarding their hormones. It might not be macho but it exists.

3. Strength - The strongest women will never be as strong as the strongest man, that is a given. However there are plenty of females who have the strength to fulfill modern combat day roles as evident by the fact that they have done so and are continuing to do so as you read this reply. PFT's are horrible indicators of someone?s performance in combat. At OCS, there are Marine officer candidates who have 300 PFT scores but couldn?t outperform my lowly 275 in many real world applications.

Remember here, less than 1% of the US population is a SF member or operator. Many of you are comparing these potential women to your girlfriends, wife?s, best friends, college fuck buddies etc. When infect these potential women probably have more discipline than you, are faster than you, stronger than you, and more intelligent that you. These would not be the weak women our society likes to produce but something closer to the legend of the Amazons. In fact, I?m sure that my wife, who was an NCAA All American and All ACC performer in Track and field/4 time State champion in basketball, could outperform most males in this country in a scenario.
