jobs that are lethal should be held to the highest reasonable standard to ensure the ability of those who want to do it

im more optimistic

should be, but not necessarily is so

yay independence day!

but on initial analysis i agree

uniformity in military is always preferable for different reasons, morale, use, ability, etc

ya

with the anime

ew

galm is red now

Here's another analogy that comes to mind: In Afghanistan, the best trained, most well-equipped military in the world (the US) went up against a band of illiterate goat-herders with old AK-47s from the Soviet Union. Certainly not equals in many respects, yet the Afghanis fared extremely well, not because of their physical prowess

specialization of military can only occur and operate if their is a base layer of uniformity to rely upon

better dead than red

topography?

knowledge of your environment can be an equalizer

yes

also

The privilege doens't end at PT standards either. They can usually get away with doing less work in various 'shops' in the Air Force, where i was. If it's too physically demanding, it's easier to just stick them at a desk instead of actually working

technique can always give you a leg up against an opponant

the guidelines of warfare u follow

It therefore may not necessarily be a disadvantage to have women in combat. It's not their physical prowess that matters, but how they are applied, tactically, in the battlefield

you could watch a UFC event and see the effects of technique versus physical power and how sometimes just technique can help you overcome an opponent

speed over power

Are you suggesting 'tactical titties', @GloriousLaserChicken ?

im short but i bypass many tall ppl playing bball

tactical titties indeed @Fitzydog

Just gonna say this as someone with a father who has PTSD, people who have those loud illegal fireworks that sound like artillery shells and grenades need to go fuck themselves.

it sucks

Yeah, I've never even seen combat, and even this is giving me anxiety.

my parents dont like it either

i'm not sure how you could effectively deploy men and women in mixed units where injuries don't increase, infighting doesn't happen and pregnancy doesn't occur. Three major issues for mixed units imo.

even having a pet, fireworks can be way too loud

lol no self control

im so glad im non sexual

you can't put men and women into tight confined spaces and expect nothing to happen

im in california, most fireworks are illegal due to fire hazards 😦

Quit your fucking virtue signalling

pft

everything is illegal in commiestate

@Fitzydog what's going on?

u are more than welcome
