Believe it or not, Pachter is right for once in his miserable life.


If he's right why are American women soldiers being killed? I know for a fact that their are Canadian female combat troops I know a few have died and I see them on the news all the time. You saying that women aren't allowed to fight in the US Army? And if women aren't allowed to fight why were several killed in combat including Paratroopers (Which I believe count as combat troops?

Now I'm no expert on the US Army but the US Army stated that 20% of the army is female. If its that high why aren't any of them fighting?

Do you have a link where that says that US troops aren't allowed to participate in combat?

There's something like 12-15 support troops for every combat troop. I'd guess they're mostly filling those roles. But just because women aren't allowed to be in direct combat roles, that's not to say they don't have dangerous jobs where they can come under attack. Here's a story about a recent Pentagon study that recommends women in combat roles, though.

Looks like women are banned from the infantry in the British armed forces, too.


Man just looked it up on Google. Thats bull shit Canada allows women in our infantry why the hell doesn't the US. Though I did read that women are still allowed in air force and naval combat roles. They just aren't allowed in the front line infantry.

I just realized something in Medal Of Honour their is a female helicopter pilot I swear. Its pathetic that the US doesn't let women fight. The whole women are weaker thing is bull I have met several girls (Well 3) that could take the shit out of any guy I know. They deserve to be able to serve alongside men. Heck most of the military activities aren't hand to hand combat its shooting guns and theirs no reason a women can't shoot a gun as good as a man.

Man I just lost alotta respect for the US, but I'm sure they will get with modern times sooner or later.
