You are making a weird claim to authority you don't have. In this case, mentioning your lack of authority seems pretty reasonable.

Go back to your video games and Fox News, because those are nothing but conservative talking points. The ACTUAL LEADERSHIP of the military disagrees with you.

I can tell from your s and ou that you’re not ‘Murican. I think our drones are pretty darn standardiZed...

Thank god you arrived on this scene. Needed some credible input from someone with firsthand experience. Thank you for your service and I'm sorry if that's become an empty sentiment.

I agree that women tend to suffer more injuries in basic training, but I think a lot of that is due to designs of equipment to favor men instead of women.

Females don't get yelled at? That's hilarious, because it's a man telling women what they live through.

Um, what is your source for this. “Infantry” to me us 11Bravo, and that has thus far NEVER been open to women. Furthermore, a good half the men who try out for the Ranger course wash out and recycle. Three women recently took the course. Three women passed.

He’s full of shit. I was in combat, and everything he says in just unreal. The best soldier body type is compact and sinewy. These chairborne rangers always claim that they’re 300 lbs with gear and that they have incredible muscles. But they're not combat effective at that size. Furthermore, a casualty that size is a…

I call bullshit on his studly anecdotes about how evil and lazy and weak those guuuuurls are. Unless he REALLY does have the shittiest leadership in his brigade. I went through the 37F course (and later the 97e) and we did those 12k ruckmarches every week. You got recycled if you really, seriously fell out the way…

You know reading your statement kind of makes me believe that you are no longer a marine because you couldn’t cut it. What it sounds like is that you blame women for your failures. It also sounds like you have very little experience with women in general.

This is SUCH utter bullshit. I was in the Army for twenty years. All us females carried our own fucking gear ourselves AND did the fucking 12k. The mythical “300-lb”troop with gear here is lying or a bigot, or both. And *I* AND another 120-lb. soldier carried the fucking SAW. The MP company we worked with had nothing…

If I had a business where women could do a job correctly 90% of the time, and men could do it correctly 45% of the time, and I decided that I would never hire or even interview men for that position, no matter what their qualifications, I would be breaking the law against discrimination based on sex.

You understand that “I would say” isn’t actually a valid data point, right? You are making a guess based on no scientific or verifiable data, and based on never having seen combat yourself with either men or women. Not to mention that if passing the School of Infantry is “not hard” in comparison to actual combat, that…

No one should be called a bitch, and if you’re saying that women should be excluded because including them requires men to act like decent human beings, your argument sucks.

In all honesty, though, anyone can pretend to be anyone on the internet. Why should I or anyone else here believe a word you say? I can believe that someone told you those things, but even you yourself can’t know if they’re true or not. “What happened” is something you, or I, don’t actually know. You (claim that you)…

Yeah, because none of those dudes are resentful that they “got beat by a girl”.

Yeah unsourced second and third-hand information from people disinclined to accept their presence means you “know for a fact” that they got special treatment. Seems legit to me.

— If a female is capable of picking me up and throwing me on her shoulders, and running 100 yards with me, then I would not care if she were in combat. —

Oh ok you're making THAT argument. Me out.

Uhhh no, obviously the only things that matter are the things that men are naturally more inclined to be better at. Obviously. Because reasons.
