“I’m done here.”

Yeah, okay.

GTA 20?

Nah, the point is that your entire comparison is moot since half your information was wrong.

The fact that you didn’t even name one female artist in this entire piece tells me you’re trying to stack the deck in your favor. There are many female artists whose husbands emotionally support them and help them as they’re able. You just don’t seem to be interested in looking into it.

NO excuse for this on the woman’s part. There is a Planned Parenthood center only forty minutes away from Murfreesboro in Nashville. She had months to make the trip and have the abortion. All the options in the world don’t matter if a woman isn’t willing to take advantage of them.

I’m all for it.

No, it doesn’t mean they’re weak. It just means that there is a standard of required strength and fitness required to do the job adequately. A lot of women commenting on here seem to think that’s some kind of statement about competence or some kind of moral condemnation of women. I don’t think it is.

Nobody said that, certainly not me, but the people in here questioning the standards because they’re too high are unbelievably annoying.

Ah, I disagree because I’m privileged and stupid. Also, everything is arbitrary so we should outlaw some speech. Your viewpoint is philosophically nonsensical.

Glad to hear that. I wasn’t aware since I quit paying attention after the first round.

I think it’s better just to have the same physical standards for everyone. There are good intel officers all around but swapping physical standards for potentially better rapport with the population just means the intel officer has to be defended or dies first, potentially.

You understand that muscle is heavy, right?

Waiting? In a combat zone? Da fuck are you thinking about? The requirement is so they don’t HAVE to wait and endanger everyone.

No you don’t. You know maybe one or two, maybe. I’ve seen 170 pound women. None of them were “fit.”

Or ever leave the house, really.

Honestly, it baffles me that so many soldiers are willing to just disregard the talents and intelligence of half of the population. All the talk is about strength, strength, strength.

Nice strawman, immaculate, really.

Nice, now carry them a half mile to several miles out to the waiting helicopter on your shoulder along with your pack and rifle and keep up with the guys who are unencumbered. Your brief stint as a lifeguard has no relevance here at all.

WTF are you talking about? Do you think they’re fat? These guys are all muscle so they can carry that huge pack (getting up from prone, getting back down, doing this multiple times), move quickly with it, and also carry/drag someone for a long distance if need be. Upper body strength is a huge part of all these…
