Do you think it is realistic and good training that students at the military school for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape are no longer instructed in methods of resisting sexual assault while held captive by the enemy

Yeah I mean its a given that anybody who joins the army is retarded, and anybody trying to specialize in one of the pointy end jobs is a sociopath. The joke here is that people still can't handle the idea of women being able to do it.

Just shoot him brother

you should tell the US military about this revolutionary new close quarters combat move called "shoot people up close" because i'm sure they haven't thought of it

in my opinion the whole "strength isn't all that important anyway" argument falls apart when you take in account that this is actual war that people are going into, not some funtime soul-searching trip where everyone's free to pursue their dreams of being a cool warrior. being able to pull yourself and your 100 pounds of gear up a wall isn't just a cool thing you can do, it's a thing you might need to do to keep yourself and your entire squad from dying. the reason the military wants you to be strong as gently caress isn't just for fun, it's because they don't want you to pointlessly die because you can't push your unconscious 250lbs squadmate off yourself when poo poo blows up.

i'm sure the whole strength stuff starts feeling a lot more important when you're in one of those life or death situations

Do they get special uniforms that accentuate their curves? The enemy is slower to shoot because he is staring at some rear end and titties.

I am rooting for the girls, but I still don't think it's a good idea to have women on the battlefield. Men are biologically programed to protect and come to a woman's aid. I could definitely imagine scenarios where a male soldier would abandon his mission in order to aid his female ally.

"This is what security should feel like," Horoho said. "You should not have to think about it. It's just there. Historically the design for body armor for women was extrapolated from the anthropomorphic measurements of a standard male cohort. Not surprisingly, the fit was woefully inadequate and decremented agility in tactical environs."

Immediately after donning the vest surgeon general demonstrated her full range of motion in her shoulders and arms by rotating her arms in a wide arc.

"This is amazing," she said.

Through a joint effort between Product Manager Soldier Protective Equipment, the U.S. Army Natick Soldier RD&E Center, or NSRDEC, Anthropometry Team and the Natick Design Pattern and Prototype Team the protective vest has been fitted for today's female warrior.

While providing the same high-level ballistic protection, it has an improved quick release system, narrower shoulders, front ballistic plate insertion, more adjustability in the waist area, and a collar that can accommodate the regulation hair (bun) styles of female Soldiers.

Ask the Israelis if this happens.

In fact, a lot of the people who have been the most vocal opposition to Ms. Griest and Haver are the same type of dudes who would unequivocally support Israel's universal conscription for REASONS.

Honestly, I see Haver as having more of a chance of seeing actual combat. Her Apache experience would probably be useful in something like the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, which provides helicopter support to the 75th Rangers.
