Have the women with combat jobs in the Rangers and Special Forces actually been fighting along side men?

Bottom line is if they can’t be held to the same expectations as a man, and standards are lowered to allow them in, then combat effectiveness will be degraded. The “trans” men or trans whatever have mental illness, so this not only degrades combat effectiveness of a unit but creates a whole host of other issues as well. Those are simple facts whether certain people can handle it or not. Look all around you, men dominate certain physical jobs for a reason. Women have had the ability to join and do those jobs for years and yet they make up a very small margin in those industries. Simple answer is most women can’t cut the mustard physically. So let’s keep worrying about people’s feelings and see how that works when we go up against China which will be the equivalent of Japan in WW2. What a joke, get out of the rear with the gear and hump around with the ground pounders for a bit.

Should be easy to find out. Just ask a Green Beanie or a former engagement team member. Either they (WACs) went for cover or they started banging away.

Why will you question them? Are you mad maybe because you could not do it??

There are probably way more males that finished all those SF schools that haven't seen combat than females with the same credentials.

Not exactly what you're asking, but at least some of the push for "women in combat" is intended to reclassify social engineering with local women. Just a pay grab. Having had a supervisor who was a maybe postpartum rage-aholic, and whose husband was section NCOIC, that was bad enough in alleged peacetime. I have done a lot of guy stuff, but there are limits. Or should be.

I am extremely disappointed in the answers to this question. The question was very specific yet the answers had nothing to do with it. If our senior enlisted and our officers can’t comprehend the question then we are in trouble.

Women in Spec Ops ends the debate over men in women's sports. The selective service requirement should be abolished now. Women shouldn't be able to play the female card when it benefits them politically, or otherwise.

LETS HOPE THAT WHEN WOMEN FIGHT ALONG SIDE MEN, THAT MEN CAN KEEP THEIR MINDS OPEN TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. LOL.

It's still amazing what can be found with an internet search.

In my experience in USAF combat rescue, women aircrew were fighting alongside men but most of my experiences with them in those roles were not positive. Women working support roles like maintenance, intelligence, etc., were awesome.
