Women have exactly the same physical potential as men, if a woman and a man train the same routine and the same schedule they can get the same physical abilities. Women may even have some natural advantages when it comes with dealing with pain. And anyway, I think if people that want to enter the army pass the exams it`s no SJW craziness to want them there doing what they have to do. It would be SJW if we would force the army to accept LGBTQ and Women based on legislation forcing the criterias to be softer for them. |
Um. No. No they don't. Women just don't get to the same level of upper body strengh as men do, no matter what they do (short of maybe hideous amounts of doping...). Upper body strengh is vital for carrying attilery in the front lines. If one of the soldiers can't keep up they are a risk to the whole team.
Not to mention that the constant weight of gear and ammutition just grinds down on womens more delicate bone struckture and leads to major problems later on. You're not doing anyone any favors by letting them into positions they aren't physically equipped for out of misconceived politically correctness. You will end up with more invalid veterans and frankly, dead soldiers.
Women have been proven to be excellent combat pilots and snipers though and I have no problem with women in active combat. But you need to devide people according to their abilities.
As for LGBT, any restrictions on gay people is utter nonsense. We've always had gay people in the millitary. They are no better or worse than anyone else at being soldiers.
Trans people have a whole string of associated heath conditions and are on constant hormonal treatment. Not sure how and if that would efffect their performance, especially if they were to face a situation were they have no access to their meds. They are also more prone to mental health troubles and suicidal thoughts, but that just might be down to societal aceptance and pressure (similar to how it was for gay people for a long time, gay suicide rates have been going down in the west with increasing acceptance.)
Overall it should be on an individual basis. Anyone who passes can go on to active combat. Just don't lower the requrements. The Israelis have women in the Infantry and the Israelis DO NOT fuck around in their military.
