In a first, women of armed forces to march on R-Day

[SarthakGanguly]

@SarthakGanguly - Do you think it would be sexist of me to think that most of the ladies I've seen on the first page look more like teenage boys with pony tails as opposed to ladies ?

It is because most ARE teenage boys with ponytails.

I am also against reservation for women in armed forces. Recruit 'em only if they 're fit and efficient. But govt shld not stifle their growth within the organisation if they 're capable.

Allow me to play the Devil's advocate on this one. Please do note that this is just for the sake of having a different point of view. I do not necessarily hold these views.

The following are quotes from the Israeli experience wrt women in combat roles.

“History shows that the presence of women has had a devastating impact on the effectiveness of men in battle,” -John Luddy in July 27, 1994, for the Heritage Foundation backgrounder.

"women have been barred from combat in Israel since 1950, when a review of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War showed how harmful their presence could be. The study revealed that men tried to protect and assist women rather than continue their attack. As a result, they not only put their own lives in greater danger, but also jeopardized the survival of the entire unit. The study further revealed that unit morale was damaged when men saw women killed and maimed on the battlefield,” - Luddy.

It is of course possible to mitigate these effects by forming all women field formations, but then the question arises, how far up the ORBAT structure do you go with all women troops? My guess is you'd need to get to independent brigade level at the very least, with divisional level being the preferred level.

And then there is also the question of the effect of female casualties on the commanders, the government and finally on the nation. Will this nation be able to accept large scale women casualties? And what happens if the fear of female casualties causes commanders to make unsound choices?

why ? men can't be feminist ?

nothing appear more sexier when you have to salute a woman in the morning. I used to be an aide to a female general for 6 month driving her and her kids around .

I had my share of fighting alongside women, and let me tell you this, dont underestimate what a woman can do in a Macy Sale and dont underestimate what a woman can do in combat. When you train them, they become armed and dangerous and should never be pissed off...

Most men are egalitarian , not feminists. They simply claim to be feminists.

I appreciate your pragmatism, but this is not Vietcong or any people's militia. Here there is an order of battle and requirements are extremely stringent. Why do you think the US army is reviewing their standards by " gender neutrality" ? They are lowering them so a dozen or so women get into combat MoS to make PC crowd happy for votes.

Yes. Maybe two are every year. Does that mean the entire armed forces setup needs to change to accommodate these two?

I bet that 'when you train them, they become armed and dangerous and should never be pissed off' comment didn't come so much as from observations in combat as it did from making the cardinal mistake of criticizing Mrs.Hungary's cooking !

You damn male chauvinist !
