Of course it would be tough, really tough. Nevertheless, short term hurdles isn’t a good enough reason to just leave them in squalor (assuming the “Dear Leader” and his minions lose power). S. Korea is an economic powerhouse. North Korea would just make it more affluent after a teething process. That teething process…

Without nukes, that would be impossible to do before NK leveled Seoul.

Again, it’s not hard to skirt F-22 in this situation. It’s more or less a given that they’d be aware of where Raptors are stationed. At that point it’s really simple math to plan a mission where bombers skirt the area where a scrambled F-22, even at full afterburner, would be incapable of getting into weapons range.…

This! Man I don’t understand why you don’t see people pointing that out in the media. In Crimea and Russia it’s all about who’s a “true Russian”, and that their civilization has been in the same place for a thousand years.

Eh it’s kinda doubtful. They can skirt the N. Pole and get their massive AhSM in range, then sprint home. The Raptor doesn’t have enough of a speed advantage to chase it down unless it’s already very close. This is one where the Raptor has minimal advantages over traditional 4th Gen interceptors (like the F-14). Sure…

Wow. I’d quit posting.

I hear ya. Be patient. It’ll happen and it’ll work well. It may just take sometime. This really is kind of revolutionary. All those countries that have used women in the past, usually did so out of desperate national need, it had nothing to do with integration and equality (i.e. the Russians and Israelis). Even then…

Because I’ve done buddy runs and firemen carries, in full kit, with every guy in the company.

You’re not getting it. It’s has nothing to do with one person’s, or a group of people’s actions. It’s so much bigger than that.

What are you talking about? We routinely practice casevac from the field to Medbird, HMMWV, Stryker, whatever. Men routinely firemen carry a buddy plus his gear...

There’s some other things that need to be dealt with. Mainly copious amounts of training with those men. If they just rolled new females into say, an infantry unit, like they do with males after graduation/schools/whatev.

Meeting these physical and testing standards is just the tip of the ice berg. I have no issue with women completing these schools so long as standards don’t change.

Wut?

I slept with a multitude of hammered women in college. Alot of women had sex with me while I was hammered in college.

Cheers Tyler.

Yeah, fearing the loss of a less advanced Predator could compromise higher-end platforms is literally the only thing I can think of.

You couldn’t possibly be a bigger tool. “I was always against the Afghanistan invasion!” Really, you were always against the invasion that the vast majority of the country and world still feels is justified? Not everybody else followed us into Iraq. Everyone did follow us into Afghanistan.

Dude I literally don’t even know where to start with you. I’m dumbfounded. Honestly.

That, very well might be, the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. Well done...

I’m not even saying we need to maintain a parts supply or any of that. You can pretty much cut the small amounts of cash dedicated to maintaining them and still store them in a way that will keep me useable (with a little refresh) if we ever have to dip that deeply into the pool.
