Sorry but im not trying to come across as arrogant pompous sexist or even the slightest bit rude on the subject. Im just stating my opinion. And in my opinion most women cant do the same physical work that men can do.

Someone in the women strike back topic said it nicely: Men are good at two things, Lifting heavy stuff and killing spiders.

When a woman shows me the desire as well as the ability to hump an
M-60, 3 boxes of ammo, grenades, and her rucksack 20 miles then Ill say Good Onya.

When they have the same physical fitness requirements as the men Ill say, good, its about time. Why should women get a break just because they are women.

Youd be amazed how many women cant even do 20 pushups after 6 weeks of basic. After six weeks many still struggle to do 10 let alone 20. Now how are those individuals going to carry all the stuff I mentioned before? They arent. Its that simple when they can do 40 pushups and 40 situps I'll say most excellent [img]smile.gif[/img] You carry the damn 60 now [img]smile.gif[/img] Its not that women cant make good soldiers, most dont want to be. And of ones that DO, only a portion have the physical ability AND mindset to be good soldiers.

It starts with desire and it ends with desire. If one wants something bad enough one will achieve it.
