Subject: What is your opinion in women getting into special ops?
Delta_Xana    12/5/2006 3:56:17 PM
At the moment, practically every country in the world except for New Zealand and Canada(??) exempts females from direct combat and furthermore special ops what is your opinion of this? should "she" be allowed to prove herself or should combat live up to its steriotype as being all-male Rambo guys?

) Women can't handle the
physical requirements of Special Operations. Take a look at what our
Special Operation units are doing in Afghanistan. They typically carry
around 80lbs+ of gear up the extremely high altitudes in the Hindu
Kush. We are talking hiking up very rigourous mountain trails of up to
10 miles with 100lbs of gear. I'm not trying to sound rude or offend
anyone, but most women b*tch about having to carry their groceries in
the house.


most men can't handle the requirements either kid


I know, what I meant was that men have the ability to prepare themselves for it (ie: do the proper training to get themselves physically fit enough to do), whereas women don't have the musculature (etc) to do that kind of thing.

Woman are for the most part varstly better at just about everything than men, if they take the caveman smacking people with clubs thing away from us as well, what will we be left with?

It is the old case of nature giving women so much power, that it was only right that the law should have given them so little.  But no... we had to go and give them the vote etc etc....

Man power!!! Man power!!! Man power!!! Sorry, this thread just keeps getting more and more homosexual by the  minute .
I could see 2 women going through BUD/S...one is beautiful and the other is a washed up fat witch. A instructor tells them to go get wet and sandy and the beautiful one says "that's looks really cold and yucky, why don't we go back to the barracks so we can warm up"...the instructor and the beautiful one leave for the barracks. Another instructor again tells the fat witch to go get wet and sandy, and she replies as only a fat witch of a woman can: "Make me, you skinny bast*rd. I'll whoop your butt all over this beach...the thought of YOU (!) telling me to go get wet and sandy! How about you go get wet and sandy or I'll come up their and kill your skinny arse!"...the instructor runs and hides.
 
Sorry, I know my sense of humor sucks...I'm just bored.

Before I was married I would have said that women should have the oppurtunity to stand alongside men in SOF.  However, since I have been married, (and know more about women) I have a different opinion.  Unlike men, women cannot go more than a week without bathing because they will develop an infection.
 
On the flip side, women can make effective spies because they can lie without conscience and are able to remember every little detail.

That wasn't so fun to visualise!

I hate to think how exactly in your marriage you found that out!

There is one undisputable reason why women are not allowed in spec op units.
A while ago, a woman passed all of the men's physical quals and were sent into the field as part of spec ops teams (it was SEALS or G.Bs in central america). 

The woman had no problem getting dirty, carrying her weight, keeping up and being quiet, even her period didn't slow her down (spongy bark?).

The problem was that after a few weeks in the great outdoors, no one was clean, but eating natural food from the surrounding area and drinking only water gave everyone natural body odors that blended with nature. Except for the woman.  With their noses attuned to natural conditions, the men on the opposing team literally "sniffed out" the woman's "female specific odor" and were able to follow and capture the other spec ops team. 

So in the end, women under certain conditions are naturally a liability due to natural body processes. Not their fault, but if a team of friendly spec ops men can "sniff it out" so can an enemy, because all men know what "it" smells like.

This post kind of gives me the creeps. The talk of spongy bark and female specific odor will do that.
I >guarantee< you that she didn't make it through BUD/S (or even SFAS).
