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

Wait a minute! Does anyone remember Joan of Arc?? Florence Nightingale?? Just because history doesn't glorify their use of weaponry, they fought. There were women in the Civil War disguised as men who went to fight because women were excluded from service. They fought for God and Country. Remember those stupid Geneva Conventions cards with the Red Cross on them that Medics were supposed to wave at the invading hoards so they wouldn't get shot?? Are you kidding me? You think we wouldn't pick up a weapon and do what we had to? My group was one of the first medical groups that went in for M16 training when the military finally realized we all had a role in conflict to maintain safe and protect our freedoms. And, that a plastic card wasn't bullet proof

In light of some of the missions SOF may be called upon to conduct, female personnel could only enhance their capabilities. I think anyone who can meet and maintain themselves at the high standards required should be given the opportunity to serve in SOF or any other military unit.

A "Combat MOS" is just that isn't it? Nothing morte should need to be said. Then again, when it comes to the Army, there are many biological MALES in "Combat MOS's who I wonder if they have actually been fighting alongside MEN. In the Corps there are many WM's with breasticles that go CLANK louder than some guys. I will serve alongside ANY Marine. If I were Army, I would still do it. I would constantly watch my six though. Just had an epiphany. I wonder what branch of military invented "Fragging". I have my suspicions.

I agree, I'd go back to Deborah of the Bible, when Barak wouldn't go into battle without her.

With all due respect, I find calling someone "dude" demeaning to a legitimate question.

I'd rather know why they don't have to register for Selected Service.

A CSMAJ came on here, and if I may translate his message: "Quit your stupid bitching and follow your orders." I'm a WAC, and I speak SMAJ (Mostly because I served in a military hospital, and they usually made the most sense in the shortest number of words).

what's the answer? (downvoting and mansplaining aside)

Yes! And have died! Before Ranger school, when it was discovered men can't talk to women and children with out being thought of as insensitive to the culture in the middle east women dressed up just like the special ops and carried weapons. They wore scarfs and jewelry and shocked a lot of women and children but garnered a lot of information. They've been blown up, shot and suffered all the crap that causes a PTS. It would be nice if they could get treated at the VA for it. But as we all know women aren't in combat, right. Now I'm not saying getting a bag of pills at your local VA will solve much but it's a start. As a Navy corpsman how much pain and suffering does someone need to see before it digs in? You can do better than a bag of pills or alcohol. I'm not with out sin but I can say God hasn't let me down. Sometimes it takes a bit to sink in but it helps to understand God turned a lot of the day to day crap to Mother Nature. Your local American Legion, and other vet organizations can help. You need to understand your not broken or wrong. Your mother or buddy will not understand unless they've been there. Your civilian friends lives and drama are more important to them than what ever you did. Chuckle.
SURPRISE! Women can now get care at the VA. Its hard to keep up with all the crap.

The Wacs were separated from the men when I served in combat zones. The Wacs joined to serve their country and did a great job. The new social experiment has failed...

I am so tird of woke questions from a liberal site . As a formal SF in Vietnam you have no clue .
