Panetta opens combat roles to women

Teege

Just wondering what the rest of my BOTL and SOTL thought of this... I know alot of you have served or are serving and while I have no issue with woman in the armed forces I think this is a terrible idea! And it has nothing to do with if I think they can run or shoot. There are just so many reasons I dont like this but was just wondering how some of you felt about it.

I am all for equality. With that being said, I am not a fan. It will create more distractions than it will help. I had trained new lieutenants a while back. They were trained as co ed classes in infantry tactics. Acting as the opposing force kne night, me and my team were able to sneak up on an entire platoon and initiate a devastating attack because we hit a male and female in a fighting hole who were engaged in intercourse instead of defending the perimeter. This is only one example of many that keep my opinion on the side of not mixing genders in on the ground combat roles.

Not so much.. I know of a couple cases where they integrated a female Officer onto a sub but only on certain subs ,, not the attack subs, and I dont believe any enlisted females have been integrated, but I could be wrong.
