Females can be effective in the military - look at Russia (WW2). Weren't there women in the ranks of the Viet Cong? Don't the Israeli army include women?

Hate to burst your bubble but women are just as capable at a lot of things that men are.

Some women are effective in the military but not in an infantry unit and definately not Jessica Lynch. Burst my bubble? 20 years in Infantry units would give me an idea on the effectiveness of females in the military I would think.

She didn't give back her Bronze Star though did she? Got a medal and didn't even fire a shot. Got her book deal and was proclaimed a Valkrie for her fighting ability LMAO but the other female soldier didn't get anything like that and she was captured also. Go ahead and make more excuses for her.🙄
John Kerry gave back his Vietnam medals didn't he? And he was called a coward for doing so.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Better re-read the story. He claimed it wasn't his medals. I don't think anyone called him a coward for doing that. He was called other things and was denounced for the medal incident.

What are your ideas about the effectiveness of females in the military? What is it they can't do as well as men?

In certain fields they are the equivalent of their male counterparts but in the Infantry they can't handle the weight of their field packs or the NZ Army term kit which can weigh as much as 100 kg or more.

So no women can handle that much equipment?

Well you won't answer my questions so I have to go on to another subject. Get a pawn star or is 20 dollars too much money for you living in Shangra La. Or wherever you think you live.
