Right training for the right job, I am not saying that you need 33% quota in NSG for women. i am saying that there are various active combat roles that women can train and out perform their male counter parts in.Good question.
Because the world over, not just in India, there is growing discontent about the basic qualification requirement being watered down at the altar of gender equality and PC. And under pressure from strong lobbies for political gain.
That's a fact. And her I invite you to read up on the debate in the US and Canada for instance.
physically I agree that we are not as strong as men but mentally we are as good as men and modern wars need mentally and physically strong soldiersPersonally I believe that women are simply not strong enough. Plus they have child rearing issues.
yes war is brutal but not only for women.A woman combatant would be more a hindrance for the men fighting alongside her than a help. War is brutal, and a male's first reaction is to shield women and kids from it. That can lead to bad decisions, compromised actions.
I dont see why women cannot work in arty regiments especially MBRL, SAM teams, BRBM deployments, Air combat roles for both fixed and rotary wing sqdns, field medics, support staff, infantry reserve forces, instructors etc.
Hi,
Don't take this as an insult, but from your views stated above, you should read more.
Physical strength is not the only parameter that defines characteristics of a combatant. Women can match and exceed endurance of their male counterparts, along with that they can surpass their male counterparts in presence of mind, exceptional focus, discipline and patience (yes patience, WWII a female polish sniper waited for 3 days in her location for the right shot) . Along with that with the right training and right placement among men, women fighters have time and again proved their mettle on the battlefield in Soviet army, IDF, US armed forces etc.
Fyi women fighter pilots have shown better resistance to higher G forces than their macho counterparts. Also Women combatants have proven themselves as exceptional snipers. Female covert ops have been responsible for changing fates of wars in modern history. So I do think women have place active combat. Absolutely YES!
Female soldiers in Fort Bragg's artillery units paving way for expanded role - Fayetteville Observer: Local NewsBro, arty was one of the worst examples you could bring into this debate.
Arty guys traditionally have more than average wear and tear to normal infantry guys, when it comes to knees and back. Ask any arty guy. Its a brutal job. Second to none, not even the tankies.
And when you get down to it, without getting into heated inter-service debates, in the context of this discussion per se, traditionally the world over, the air and naval wing deployments (except the gunners, again for the same reason, and the submariners, for completely different ones) are not lumped under the "combat role" category, from both physical as well as close quarter perspectives.
how about nowBut what about Economics of such decision.
A Fighter pilot has a carreer of 15 years. If women are allowed in Fighter Pilot role and they have 2 children, nearly 4 years of prime of their career is wasted.
Could an Airforce which has to fight real wars afford to waste resources on training Pilots which would be physically capable of working only 2/3 of time?
Concept of Female fighter Pilots has not worked well in USAF too.
physically I agree that we are not as strong as men but mentally we are as good as men and modern wars need mentally and physically strong soldiers
have you heard about Neerja Bhanot??
Neerja Bhanot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and child problem is just an excuse.
yes war is brutal but not only for women.
and If any woman want to fight for her country then leave this up to her and she is not fool , she will think before joining the war. so mentally she will be prepared for war and training is for what??
training will do the rest man.
how about now
I will be in the intelligenceI would like to see women combatants in Navy n Airforce in full fledged combat role whereas in army women can play active role in sniper unit, military intelligence n some engineering units.....
@levina which one you will chose to kill your enemy?
Haven't tried actually.@levina how is your shooting skills ?
I will be in the intelligence
One of our neighbour used to work for army's intelligence unit. He inspired me. Lol
Not a good idea not only exposing them against enemies but also with so many male around would lead to sexual voilence and crime and will affect moralePlease give your opinions for or against, with rationales.
Please try and keep this clean and not get vulgar in your jingoistic enthusiasm.
