Women can't soldier good
>they couldn't carry all this gear
Correct, now start your next waste of a thread, maybe a le doggo one?
>they wouldn't even make it through boot camp
>Guarding an isolated, unarmed, handcuffed, helpless prisoner
>Combat
Cool joke, user.
>being in an insurgency is the same as being in the infantry
Look at all that gear they are carrying, those backpacks must weight a ton.
>women succeeding in ancient propaganda pictures
I'm sure they succeed in modern propaganda pictures too, user.
Women fucking bleed out of a hole with a high chance of infection every month. Did you know that?
3rd world women could do it, American women can't
This. They're used to not having tampons and shit. I fully believe the Filipino women I work with who hates socialists could be effective in combat against them.
Now load her up with a seven day ruck, a SAW with 800 rounds of 5.56, armored vest with soft inserts and plates, her trusty MICH/PASGT, and send her out for a week doing 20 klicks a day.
I went through OSUT with a woman who I say with complete sincerity was the best private in the platoon. She was tough, strong, and stoic. I would go to war with her no problem. It should be said that she is a fire fighter who has spent the last decade doing bench presses and dead lifts during her ample downntime. Half our females didn't make it, and the small ones suffered possibly debilitating injury. One particularly tragic case, the smallest in the company was determined and focused on graduating. She had the heart. She really did. She was just literally physically incapable. Her hips are fucked now. Women should be discouraged from joining. The ones who know they can do it will do it regardless.
>Women still can't be drafted
Given the logistical issues introduced just to get the 0.1% extra recruits that are women:
Who want to join
Are allowed to join
Are capable of passing training
I just see it as a huge fuckaround and extra cost for a tiny numbers boost, you would probably get better numbers by using all the money needed to allow females and gave it as a signing bonus.
You just know.
>Given the logistical issues
Not to mention the debilitating effects on group dynamics and morale. Except we're supposed to ignore that because it's not pc.
Seriously though you have a unit full of men and 1 or 2 women. Even if the women aren't attractive it's going to be natural for the men to start wanting to fuck them.
I worked in mining (99% male) and guys were fighting over the most horrid bush pigs you have ever seen. Things that you wouldn't consider after a bottle of scotch were making big bank as hookers.
There's a reason so many women in the military get pregnant in the service. If they're surrounded by men all day, those men are going to want to fuck them eventually, no matter what. Big surprise, women want to be fucked, so some fucking is eventually going to happen.
Combat engineer reservist here, route clearance. The unit has more women than you'd expect. They get no special treatment. They're sleeping in cramped vehicles with the rest of us. When we go out on field training and spend days in close proximity, you know what happens? People fuck. You know what it does to unit effectiveness? Nothing.
>route clearance
>reservist
Your opinion is worthless and you're not experienced enough to know it.
This. My 63 year old mom can tote an ar15 on a hike and shoot it well, but she can't ruck to modern standards. Neither could these gook chicks.
yes, that picture totally checks out the whole list on that post
Isn't this nlf propaganda meant to recruit horny teenage Vietnamese incels from the country side?
Probably.
>"One French officer went as far as to call them ``the greatest infantry in the world.''
>More than a decade later, half the members of most Viet Cong units were women, many of them just teenagers.
>Reports from U.S. soldiers in the field found Viet Cong women ``tougher'' and ``more disciplined'' than their male counterparts."
>You know what it does to unit effectiveness? Nothing.
Navy here, you couldnt be more wrong
stop being evasive
>they are carrying as much gear as my 63 year old mom can
lol not up to standards still
>pack weight 90 pounds
easily up to vietnam era US army standards
yeah how about up to modern standards lol
nope
>shit that never happened
people on this board are so fucking gullible
I don't doubt it, a mate is arty and has a bull dyke on his crew. She has something to prove so puts in twice the effort of all the guys, she can't sling shells for as long but follows all regs to the letter which is 70% of being considered "good" in peacetime.
To be fair for a regular ass mechanized rifleman, 90 pounds is the upper limit of what you're gonna carry. If you're just doing purely mechanized patrols -- jumping in and out of the trucks with bare minimum combat kit -- you're probably looking at closer to 60 or so.
This is why:
Defense > Offense(?)/Patrolling
Any day.
Third world women are immensely more powerful than coddled western women. They know the world is rough and that they aren't owed shit, so as a result they're tough as fuck. That's why African women can carry big ass buckets of water on their heads and why some 80-year-old babuska can till a field pulling the plow by herself. They're cast from an entirely different mold than the women you're accustomed to.
>The British Army has had similar problems. In 2011, a senior British Army officer wrote that the Taliban refer to British soldiers as “donkeys” who move in a tactical “waddle” because of the weight they carried in Afghanistan, which averaged 110 pounds. The officer continued, explaining that “our infantry find it almost impossible to close with the enemy because the bad guys are twice as mobile.”
The VC lost ten to twenty soldiers for every American they killed.
They may have won a strategic victory in the end with their overwhelming numbers and willingness to keep up the fight longer than we were, but I'd hardly say they're a good example to follow in terms of effective combat troops.
Yeah they have gone full retard with all the gear these days.
I get that in a conventional war you need the guys carrying everything for move the front but in wars without fronts (every western war since Korea) there is no point in carrying a weeks worth of shit when you RTB daily.
That's why Russia has all these BTRs
Those cunts didn't do shit they only slaughtered chinks.
> navy
Because you're a bunch of faggots and the female officers are blackmailing you to get the D.
But muh exoskeletons
Few things strike fear into a man's heart like an angry babushka with a rolling pin.
What really gets me is in all recent wars even if the guys only had 1 days supplies and did get cut off a chopper could have 2 weeks supplies delivered to them within that day.
It's not like they are going to stave to death because goatfuckers are holding the road back to the FOB.
>bull Duke
Not every woman has the genes, proclivities, or was raised to be a strong armed tomboy. obviously the ones that are would be more likely to enlist therefore you'd be more likely to encounter them. but the average American female wouldn't last a week without her makeup and Instagram
Phone posting is cancer
I agree completely, I was simply stating that I believe had that happen because it has also happened with a mate.
Oh, I misread you're post.
She's kinda cute.
>this is a reporter, btw
stay mad
>get absolutely BTFO
>s-stay mad
LMAO
I'm not mad about biology.
And you're the one who felt the need to start this thread, faggot.
>pic related
It's you.
The Brits had absurd excessive gear in the Falklands too.
lmao, spartan race or what ever obstacle race is not only for military personnel
>amputee serving in anything other than deskjob
>inb4 photo ops totally count as real operating
War rape is my #1 fetish
>the cut in the middle is where they edited out a random guy strolling by at a normal pace
Either bait or completely clueless. Here’s a (you) regardless.
Why post that gif mate?
Imagine ravaging one of those gooks soldiers
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That shit was legit. No fucking reason to out someone at a straining moment in their life. How she handled it dosent really matter. What matters is that he published the video with the sole purpose of ridiculing her.
Considering how she handled herself in the situation she had no business being in the army.
Full-grown men aren't "up to modern standards", bud. Have you seen what 6 years in 11b does to a man's body? Exploding kneecaps.
>a random guy strolling by at a normal pace
How did she get ahead of him?
>this pic is real because i want it to be real
The french are a bunch of faggots anyways. No one cares what some twink officer of theirs has to say about fighting.
They started at different times, retard.
This comment is so retarded, I'm not even sure how to respond so I'm just gunna call attention to it so that other people can think whatever they want.
It's real cause it was posted by the guy who took the picture.
The boobs, arse, cute giggles and pheromones would be a big distraction 2bh
