Same is true for women. If they want to serve let them. Doesnt require much strength to pull a trigger. The smaller you are, the less of a target you are (big tall soldiers arnt a good thing, in todays wars). |
Agree but to only a small extent. You lose me on teh strength to pull a trigger.
If the argument is just about that, then sure. But many times I'm seeing arguments for women being denied special forces positions that are the best of the best. This is where I don't want qualifications to be cut to be "fair" or somethign to anyone. If a requirement is carryign a 250lb pack a mile in 15 minutes or less, then that should remain so. Is that unfair to a 120lb female compared to a 200lb man? Yes it sure is. But let me tell you if you were in those forces and you got injured and needed to be carried to safety. Do you not want someone who can do that?
Women will be at a natural disadvantage in those physical regards. Some could do it, sure. But we shoudl never reduce the strict guidlines to make it more "fair". Our special forces shoudl be hte best of the best. Whether that best is a male or female.
