I was at the lunch table today and a bunch of guys got on the subject of women in the military. We had a big discussion over it and winded up arguing in the end lol. What do you all think?
Here is my opinion. Anyone who is willing to give there life for this country should be respected no matter if they are male, female, white, black, purple, etc. Also women have been a big part in our armed forces. They are also statistically better marksmen. The point I make is that women are a good improvement to the military and some of our best soldiers are indeed women.
I still stand by my decision saying that it is ok for women to join.
I agree too, I just think that right now, we're seeing the beginning of a very long period of transition. Women are being allowed into many combat roles, but it will be quite some time before they are fully accepted in those roles.
I agree with you USMC. Times are different than they were. Women have a choice on whether or not they want to pursue a military career. I feel it should stay that way. I personally don't want to have anything to do with the military when I'm older, strictly because of my experiences as a Army brat. But that's me, I'm not going to be the one who is going to say no to a woman who does.
i mother can work and be a mom, dads at lest most dads just dont i dont know, there somthing about a mom that dads dont have, so if a mom dies and shes leving a faimly it makes me cry.
This, of course, would become some what of a nature versus nurture thing. It is ironic that I now argue for the nurture side, sort of.
A male is also hard-wired for fatherhood as a female is hard-wired for motherhood. The roles are slightly different, but both have parental drives.
there somthing about a mom that dads dont have
What is that something? On my end, I could argue that a father has something a mother does not have, but that has more to do with my life experience as compared to yours.
i gess it is mothers have a mother hood thing its what we or they are ment for a father in my thinking is to go and work or fight if he has a faimly but a woman whit out a faimly can go out.
I see where this is goin... There's things that only a mother can fix or make right. Same with fathers. But a mother has somewhat of a different relationship with her children. I have a relationship with my mother that no father can fill. I didn't have much luck in the dad department.
Personally, I find that thinking sexist, but here goes:
I agree with you, somewhat. The female is naturally "meant" to take care of children, but I believe this to be a more physiological and sociological thing then a psychological thing.
I agree! We are meant to take care of the family. I believe it's physiological, sociological, and psychological. It's a bond that I can't even hope to describe.
