Well, whatever guys.

Most of you are being really sexist, which is disappointing.

I'm leaving the board and I'm not coming back.

So whatever.

Goodbye.

Can't you just discipline them beforehand? Like setting down ground rules? That's a gem. How do you discipline them before hand to not get pregnant so they will get discharged? The problems discussed above ARE REAL. And the kind of 25-50% issues he's talking about would be worse in a frontline comb...

If people are so bothered by the idea of mixed units, then why can't they just have separate units for males and females like someone else suggested on a previous page?

Would that satisfy the naysayers?

Soldiers go on R&R. Soldiers get drunk. Drunk people fuck, whether they are supposed to or not. Why do you think such a large percentage of females get pregnant in the military as it is? Do you think they are so dumb as not to know the consequences of unprotected sex? By saying that they DO kno...

Or for that matter, that women and men can't control their sexual urges around each other? And what's with this protecting thing? I hear this argument a lot, but it doesn't make sense to me. Why do you think the male soldiers will go out of their way to protect female soldiers? Is there any proof f...

Have you served in a combat unit? If you haven't, then your question is moot, for you are incapable of understanding. We in the Army have someting called "Esprit de Corps," upon which we base our morale. If the situation I described took place in an Infantry unit, where morale is paramoun...

No, I haven't served in a combat unit, but just because it happened in your unit, doesn't mean it will happen in every unit, or happen at all. There is this little thing known as discipline.

OK, I don't think women should be in the infantry for pretty much the same reason Ming gave us - it's not so much that some women couldn't fight, it's that the presence of a woman would affect the effectiveness of the men in the troop - by spending too much effort protecting her. How many of you gu...

I should add that wrestling zombies might be a bad idea. In Romero's universe zombies seem to get stronger the longer they are around. In NOTLD, they weren't too strong, but in Day of the Dead they were ripping people apart. Grappling might be a bad idea. Eh. I'm talking about mobile, shambling cor...

If women can meet the requirements, let them in.

They should be able to serve in any branch of the military they please.

All your friend has done is repeat the "it's a choice" argument without backing it up. Homosexuality, and indeed all sexuality, is more complicated than that. Plus, his attempt to dismiss animal homosexuality is feeble at best. The presence of AH destroys the "unnatural" argument...
