Dunno Sprint - how do you look in a frock?

Quote from "the Australian "newspaper
"WOMEN should be able to serve in all frontline combat units........under a controversial plan that could avert a looming recruitment crisis
The Rudd government wants to lift the proportion of women serving in the defence force from the current level of 13 per cent, as demographic pressures bear down on defence force recruitment over the next decade"

The problem is that the military here is a volunteer force, so even if all the positions are open to women it doesn't mean that the numbers will increase in the military.
the military has been having problems for years trying to get enough people, especially in the trades and other jobs other than rifleman and gun number

You sheilas don't wear frocks when you exercise? And here I was thinking I had you lot sused.

I think its even funnier when blokes think they know how Sheilas think and feel 99.9% of the time your wrong

why is it if a women wants to strive to do something well in a mans world we are insecure and competitive........ this is part of the problem I think most guys just don't understand or perhaps incapable of understanding.

This was probably the same trail of thought that didn't allow women to vote once either.....things change, people evolve women enjoy more things (now there actually allowed too) its called the future think you just kind of need to except its going to happen and move on with life.

I have never done girly things even as a child, I played sports that were predominantly played by guys, I hung around with guys.....WHY? becasue I enjoyed the sports and I thoroughly enjoyed the company and humour of guys..more than girls

does that make me insecure? I don't think so just makes me what I am a person that just doesn't happen to like what men THINK I SHOULD LIKE

Uhmmmm.....eerrrrrrr......uhmmmmmmm ..........YES!

No way, it would be bad for morale in so many ways. Women cannot compete physcially with men in the tiny tiny percentage of combat roles where they cannot currently serve. Men and women are different, physically and mentally. Having women fight along side men is a bad idea and it has NOTHING to do with equality. They are MORALE KILLERS.

i think that the jobs in the military that are open to women and those that are closed to them is right as it is. if a women wants to serve her country there are plenty of opportunities to do it without compromising the fighting ability of the countrys armed forces.
how many people posting comments on this subject have had any military service ?
