I believe that if woman are capable to pass the test that say they are qualified to join let them join.

 @B9YMXBR from Kansas  agreed…5mos5MO

Women are almost no different then men as we all bleed the same red, they should get the same opportunities as men and do the same things as us.

 @B9YLZF6 from Illinois  agreed…5mos5MO

I think if a woman vollenteers for the military, trains, and shows herself capable as any man, she should be allowed to be in combat with no questions asked.

 @B9XVCFZ from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree; also, as military technology advances, the practicality and importance of physical strength is lessened and replaced with mental/psychological strength.

 @B9XSMDH from Nebraska  agreed…5mos5MO

Well, everyone should be able to fight for what they love. But it shouldn't be just men; it should also be women. Women can be as strong as men if they put their mind and body to it.

 @9GYMQ2M from New Mexico  agreed…3yrs3Y

Women are competent and should have equal rights with men. Women who go through the training shouldn't be denied just because of their gender, they like all people should only be denied if they are not suitable and haven't undergone training.

 @9FMP6RNRepublican from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Women are physically weaker than men. If I am fighting in the military and I weigh 250 pounds I want my comrads to be able to carry me out of the battle field. Also I do not wish to see women go out and die in a war. I believe it is our duty as men to fight for our country.

 @9VLJB7C from Washington  commented…2yrs2Y

But some women join the military to also fight for their country, are you saying that women shouldn't have any right to serve and fight because it's a man's duty to do so?

  @PatriotPundit from Virginia  agreed…2yrs2Y

Informed Social Issues

Exactly. My opinion is they can join if they pass the exact same tests and are placed in all female units to prevent... uhh... scandal between men and women soldiers. But a problem with that is when the women are captured, which as soldiers they likely will be, r*pe will be a big problem. Our enemies don't care about the Geneva convention, they never have, and they never will.

 @9G6CZ73 from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

I think that if the women wants to be in combat and goes through all of the training that they should be allowed to because they already went through the training. But they should not make people do it if they don't want to.

 @IamSirius32Green from Ohio  agreed…3yrs3Y

Women are not any less capable than men. It feels unconstitutional to deny a woman from serving in the military.

 @9FPB5H8 from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

If people are truly concerned about this being a problem, people who enter the military, including men, should take a course for sexual assault. This would also be beneficial because men being raped by other men has happened in military history. Though, people should not have to be cautious around women because of this, they should be treated equally and be able to serve in any form or combat they wish. If someone were to rape someone else they should be kicked out and charged if the victim wishes. If a woman were to get pregnant from sexual assault in the military then the criminal should pay child care until the child is 18, if they decide to have the child, and should pay the medical bills if they choose to get an abortion.

 @BB9YMJ5 from Texas  agreed…4mos4MO

Referred to the past 50 years of sexual assault statistics in the military deployment, statistics, comparing overseas deployment and stateside sexual assault statistics, and it does not bear out an increase

 @BB4WMWPWomen’s Equality from California  agreed…4mos4MO

Research from the U.S. military shows that women who meet gender‑neutral combat standards perform at the same level as men, and real‑world data supports this. For example, women have graduated from elite programs like Army Ranger School, and studies from the Marine Corps found that women successfully completed over 90% of required combat tasks when held to identical standards. More than 30 countries already allow women in combat roles with no evidence of reduced effectiveness or readiness. Allowing qualified women to serve strengthens the military by expanding the talent pool and ensuring that the most capable individuals—regardless of gender—can contribute to national defense.

 @B8T54HSDemocrat from Delaware  agreed…7mos7MO

Women should be able to have the choice in what they wanna do with there life and if that means risking it in combat so be it. It was their choice and women's life choices should not be determined by men that clearly feel threatened and overpowered by a women's with higher intelligence and skills.

 @9G8ZNH9Constitution from Illinois  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I think that you should not be putting other soldiers in danger because they have a genetically weaker person in there squad.

 @9HN7DX8 from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

I don't know much solid data on this issue but I think that if the military has a job to do then they need to put their best people on it to be successful. To me is all about the numbers. If a person can pass the physical requirements to excel in a combat role then send them to the battlefield where they can best serve their country.

 @9GZL4XJ from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

If they feel like they are as stong as they say they are the should be able to fight alongside with guys.

 @9LTFVVLDemocrat from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

Many times, women have proven to have a persistence, even in cases greater than that of men, for the same reason that women can be in combat and serve their country.

 @9GF5X2N from Kansas  agreed…3yrs3Y

Women and men are put through the same combat training and do the same routine. they are held to the same standards when training. if they go to the same forts as men then why cant they have combat roles?
