What are your thoughts: disparaging remarks about females who want to earn an opportunity to serve in a combat position.

When I look to my left or my right in a foxhole, all I need to know is that Soldier can shoot, move or communicate. I do not care if they are male or female, or what color their skin may be, or what God they may worship. Job performance and proficiency is all that matters.

I don't support women in combat roles, period. There are plenty of posts on here that address that topic. I also do not support disparaging remarks about women serving their country. Honorable service to nation should be supported and encouraged. We can agree or disagree on issues of policy without disparaging other's service.

Any individual making comments such as you speak of are "INSECURE!"

They need to get with the changing times and accept what the future holds. It has been decided that "Women Soldiers" are now able to posses any Military Occupational Specialty.

There is going to be a transitional period where the insecure individuals I speak of are going to perceive that the standards have been changed or lowered.

The Military is voluntary and anyone who does not like it is free to remove themselves from the Military. You can even request an early discharge if it bother you to that extent.

Bottom line some are insecure in the fact that a Woman will be successful and possibly even be better at the skill they cherish to be held by males.
