This isn’t related to Weissman, but this isn’t the first time the FBI let a known killer keep working just because he was an informant. Check this out. Interestingly Mueller is involved in this.

Nothing short of him stepping down will do I suspect
10h old
nothing happened
To those who think women don't want to be placed in danger for work or in defense of their nation

`A 1997 study by the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center found female sailors often forgot to take birth-control pills and experienced more unwanted pregnancies and higher abortion rates than shore-based women.`
Wait, what? Japanese warship?
I thought they didn't have an army anymore?
'self defense force'
Japan has a pretty massive military
Also, why call it the SDF when JDF works just fine?
Constitutional fiction
Would it be too similar to the JTF-2 of Canada?
Anyway, my point is to show even in a country not in North America or Europe is still seeing success with such changes
They can't recruit enough young people. Turning to women makes more sense for a military than going with mercenaries.
Their anime industry is worth $19B USD.
That's pretty damn successful.
@DrYuriMom Japan does not engage in any form of combat. There is no way to gauge success or failure without such a test.
Though for navy and air force personnel, raw strength and durability isn't overly important.
Exactly. Even Heinlein placed women as pilots and ship personnel in his earlier works
Were I overlord I would mandate some long-duration birth control and mandatory STD checks after shore leave and leave them to it.
I would have no problem with the idea of mandating injectable or implanted birth control
Constantly losing personnel to pregnancy is a financial burden that militaries shouldn't have to put up with.
Agreed. Planned pregnancy after a certain term of service and being able to return to service afterwards should be permitted. Treat it kinda like temporary detached assignment and obviously a requirement that you have plans for care of the child when on further duty.
No different than a widower man who is on active duty and still guardian of his kids.
However, I think Obama was wrong to force to force ground combat units to allow women. The USMC did a detailed study about why it's a bad idea and it was ignored in favor of political correctness. Both the military and those few women who attempt to fill that role are going to suffer.
This is why women were medics in World War 2...
No they weren't.
Nurses, not medics
Medics serve with the troops in the fighting
Nurses serve in the rear, in hospitals and triage sites
Okay, fine. Wrong word...
If you're not a native English speaker, you're forgiven 😃
In any case, there are women medics and corpsmen now, which I personally think is fine
