From a physiology standpoint, it doesn't seem logical for them to be soldiers. They're not as strong as men and could contribute to more casualties and a waste of more resources that could be used on men. Also, I'm not sexist. Let's discuss this; I have an open mind.


While it's true that on average, women are not as strong as men, there are strong women out there...women stronger than you. I'm not talking about bodybuilders either, I mean regular women. So as long as they complete basic training and pass all of that other stuff, what exactly is your problem?

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Warfare is not always about who has the strongest footsoldiers.

It can be an important factor, but it is not the only or the most important factor. Especially as more and more weapons systems become ever "smarter" and more "stand off".

Men are generally physically superior, but that doesn't mean women are completely incapable of being a good soldier.

I would bet money on it that everyone in the Flood would be killed in a hand-to-hand combat with a female soldier.

I'd probably become emotionally attached to her if she talked to me a lot.

Well, war hasn't been about who's got the "Strongest" soldiers in a long time, nowadays it's more about who has the most skilled and best trained soldiers, from this perspective there's absolutely no reason not to have female soldiers, training and skill is not reserved for one gender.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.

If I was on the front line and was hungry, I would rather have a woman make me my sammich than a dude. So they belong.

that logic makes no sense. And besides I don't think that soldiers are wrestling their enemies so strength isn't a very valid factor.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Why do women think they can make good soldiers?

Past evidence?

  • 11.30.2012 12:08 PM PDT

Haha, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think the problem is that you think of men and women as separate wholes, while there are some women that make better soldiers than some men will ever be.

Strength seems irrelevant when you're all carrying assault rifles.

Infantry is fairly important though. In many of the wars we're facing now, infantry is the most important branch of combat.

Most fighting isn't hand to hand combat. Guns are primarily used, and there is no difference if a woman or a man is holding a gun.

Edit: What the guy above me said too.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I'd rather have an army of women defending my nation than no army at all.

Mostly because they can make great soldiers.

Women can't do many of these things for long or without problems. Not to mention they get periods. That's a problem. A very big problem.

I hope your not serious.

When a high-velocity round impacts, destabilizes and causes an enemies skull to explode from hydro-static shock.... The fact that the finger that pulled the trigger belonged to someone who has breasts? Probably not the last concern that went through that person's brain before it splattered.

There is also a HUGE psychological statement being made if/when a society and/or military normalizes the use of women in combat roles.

For example, the IDF. By having a both-gender fighting force, they are essentially saying (to themselves, their potential enemies, and the world) we are VERY serious about our own defense and this shows just HOW serious we are.
