I have seen countless of articles about female soldiers who want to join the front lines but not a single male interview or perspective of what it's like in combat with a female soldier.
If you really have seen TH-cam videos or interviews of a male soldiers encouraging woman 2 enlist in the front lines please link it. Link it so I can share it. I mean you did say you seen lots. So it shouldn't be a problem for you to link up just one.
Oh I see. Well if you happen to come across one? Please post it on your TH-cam channel. I'm going to subscribe to your channel right now. And I do hope you find one. I'm curious as to what reasoning they would have for posting a woman on the front lines. I have one main reason for why women should not be on the front lines. It's because a man can take a beating and a woman can't. Yes women are fast and agile but they just can't take a hit. I guess that's why they say take it like a man and not take it woman. LOL 🤣 🤣😁😅
You think so. Woman fight for equality right. OKAY THAN SO IF A WOMAN HITS HER MAN THAN THE MAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT BACK WITH OUT GETTING IN TROUBLE.. SEE THAT WOULD BE FAIR. WOMAN SHOULD GET EQUALITY ITS ONLY FAIR!!!!!!
Laura, I agree. The consequences should be the same, so spousal abuse committed by a woman should receive the same penalties as the man and a female teacher carrying on an affair with a student should get the same sentence as a man. I disagree with people carrying on about how women didn't earn this or that in the military. One guy seems so intent on equality that I wanted to know if he thought she died as equally as he felt she should. He seems very disdainful. These same screeds were used similarly when blacks were integrating into the service. Women on the front lines has been going on while this ban was in place. Sergeants and captains were interviewed and said that even though there was a ban on women on the front lines, it was being done. Women were used on the front lines as a matter of necessity and they were injured and sometimes killed, not because they were foolish silly women but because of the hazards of war. So, I probably agree a whole lot with what you might have to say than what you might expect.
Amy class of "68... I salute these woman for a job well done. BUT women and men ARE different, deal with it. "During basic combat training, up to 5% of men and 20% of women sustain a stress fracture, researchers noted, with the most common fracture sites being the tibia, fibula and metatarsals, followed by the femur and pelvis."
2:00 "If I couldn't lift a fallen comrade then there was always another woman who could help me" What if you were the only one left and had to carry the soldier on your own? They'd die in the name of equality 👍
If the female soldier was on her own and had to carry the soldier by herself, it would still be hell of a lot better to die for equality and by defending your country, because clearly, if the weren't any women, the soldier would be alone with no male comrades around him. Bet if you were the wounded soldier you would rather want to be helped by a female soldier than no male soldier at all.
Q C I disagree. While there may be instances where you might need to complete a task by yourself, the armed forces are always instilling teamwork and a no man left behind mentality.
Eugene If you cannot lift your fellow comrade by yourself, then you become a liability, especially during the heat of battle and if no one else is available to give a boost. This is the point I was trying to make. I agree that under normal circumstances, teamwork is paramount. So you see, context is everything.
Q C ah I was unsure who you were replying to so I didn’t fully understand the point your were making. But yeah after seeing what you meant yeah I agree with you.
"I wanted to prove..." Wrong reason and bad mentality. It's not about service and wanting to serve. It's about this new female mentality about doing something just to prove to the world. Well, a team is as strong as its weakest team member. That's dangerous in direct combat in general.
Wow, so much respect for these women. I served in the USMC, very proudly, as a Woman Marine, in 1979 - 1983. We didn't have these opportunities/responsibilities, but we were tough....we are Marines. I'm so very proud to say that we paved the way for these heroines in this video. You can be tough, feminine and do the job required with the proper training and the proper people. We were a "few good women", just like these soldiers are. Semper Fi and HOOO AH to these brave, strong, capable Army GI's, and THANK YOU for your service!!!
That was a sad story about young lady killed in Afghanistan, but so many men and women have died there and in Iraq during the wars in both countries.Seeing stories like that make you so proud of the many people who signed up to defend the nation, and their allies.
Where are male soldiers of NATO now...and your talking about female soliders.. Talibaan long live .. They fucked badly NATO forces men personnel .. You are talking here female soliders.. Hope you realise well bcz your prediction and argument tottaly proved wrong after 3 years of report
Alejandro Ruiz, but your allies do care. If you’re a 100kg guy and get downed in combat, a girl who’s half your weight and the physical equal to a 14 year old boy isn’t gonna be able to drag you to safety. If a unit has to move between positions quickly, on foot and in full combat gear, you don’t want to have to slow down for Stacy who’s collapsing from exhaustion and having a mental breakdown.
Actually enemy cares if the soldier is a female he shot her in her leg so that he do not kill her and if the soldier is BOY he will be fucked up and I say that because I was fighting Americans in Iraq we shot the boys only
My experiences in the Army serving with women is I can only think of two female Soldiers which I would be comfortable going into combat with. These are the exception not the rule. I think they make wonderful pilots as well as many other jobs, but infantry and combat arms belongs to the male. Sorry about your offended nerves. Things are not equal. Women make the same money, but required to do half the amount, does that sound fair? I used to have to take females to shower runs from out in the field while us men had to stay. I went from a all male Combat unit to a mixed unit and what a difference and not a good one at that. If they would make the standards the same. Raise the standard for men because we are too fat and NCO's have a lack the ability to properly discipline the Soldiers. If women want to serve they better be able to do it too. The main point I would like to make is one day we are going to piss off the world too much and we will have to fight a real enemy capable of inflicting great damage to us and I feel the current Cover your ass and lefty feel good measures hurts our capability.
Amen to that brother. Females can join the military with the exception of frontline combat. Theres other support roles that need manpower and they can make a difference just like you said pilot or ammunition delivery or Radar support just not combat it will only increase the casualty and distraction moreover the female biology is not meant for vigorously combat causes massive increase jeopardy to health as compared to the males. But I say female snipers or recon seem like an ok exception there no need for heavy weight carry and stealthy most male enemies do not raise suspicion for female spies.
I’m a woman and I agree but only for one reason … having to pick up a fallen soldier . I’m sorry but picking up a 200 lb or more male is no easy task . And during open fire that is important to be able to do and do quickly .
@@Nikki3b0oxX Yep, and also in the bible Israel had a sexist culture because they considered it shameful for a man to be killed by a woman, evan if it was in self defense, because Abimelech in judges 9 in the bible tried to burn a woman along with others who were in the tower, which is why he wanted to burn it down! So in self defense she threw down a millstone upon his head and broke open his skull! Abimelech didn't like that and so he had his male armour bearor to run him through so that we wouldn't be able to say that a woman killed him. So during the times of Judges abuse towards women was allowed, misogyny and toxic masculinity like Abimelech was also allowed.(Toxic masculinity is an inversion of True masculinity.) Thankfully there is not a law in the bible saying that "It is shameful for a man to be killed by a woman!" Because if Our Heavenly Father had said that than you as a woman wouldn't be in the military or learning any kind of self defense what so ever. So both men and women in this culture can learn how to defend themselves and kill if necessary, because in judges 4:9 Deborah told Barak that Our Heavenly Father would give Sisera into the hands of a woman, so Our Heavenly Father is not against a man being killed by a woman, just as he is not against a woman being killed by a man. He is only against those who murder people. And he is only against men like Abimelech who try to murder women and who are against women defending themselves and vise versa. And as a man I will fulfill my role and provide and protect a woman!
I know that I will catch PURE HELL from this comment, however.......... When male/female can train on an equal basis, hump the same weight, do the same strength training AND be able to each carry a 200 pound person to a designated safe place, THEN AND ONLY THEN should they be in theater and fighting along side men. Sorry ladies, this is only one female opinion. Respectfully Submitted
and then there's the romance problem and the prego problem. I've heard women in the past say that isn't their problem and men "just need to get over it." That's like women just getting over pms: it's nature and men aren't going to stop competing for a desirable female (or...in this weird situation, the only female in the squad or platoon). To say that men (mostly 18-22) will just have to get over it or be punched out for harassment is insane since the vast majority of trained war fighters are going to be male in any case...shouldn't the way be cleared for them to be able to do that horrific task with the least amount of distraction and chaos as possible. Men kill people and break things in a disciplined way on command much better when the one thing that makes them want to relax and get comfortable more than anything on earth (female company) IS NOT AVAILABLE!
You may have not noticed but there are women doing it daily and not only in our military. A while back two women received the English Distinguished Service Order, second only to the Victoria Cross, while working as medics in active combat situations. These two women soldiers did all of what you said women can't. They did under live fire and helped multiple 200 lb men survive. Additionally they worked under fire constantly while they attended the wounded and moved them. This all without regard for their own safety.
I have the book "Ashley's War" & it is a great story ;I must read the book again. I am seeing this for the first time. I respect the women in combat so much! This truly tears me up! Great story & these very great women who perform combat duty! These women are so great & must be appreciated by all!
This is frankly ridiculous. This attention is precisely the problem. So SOME women did something that men have largely been forced to do throughout time and get special treatment??!!
There's no special treatment. It's just showing that woman can do what some men can't like talk with women and children while performing the average soldier duty
@@redunicorn7760 yes and no ! You are right if this was a "Humanitarian Mission" But its War ! If a Male Solider falls close to her she is his only Lifeline she can't get him to cover at least or herself w/o leaving him she doesn't belong ! To pass her they just to do that Job there setting it up for Failure right off ! I served 30 years just got out a couple years ago seen this happen ! I had Soliders in my Group that when a Solider died we knew it hit us but we moved on ! But when one of the Women got hurt or worse, I've seen them come apart ! Some that were close too her they couldn't even preform ! But I agree with you on as too that particular Job hands down Female all the way ! But there's more too that overall job is all !
Who the hell would care if men had the search these women to get rid of arms that are being hidden and killing are our men these women I have great respect for brave and they give their lives to but I wouldn't give a damn if I was in that situation and there was a woman setting on some Firearms or explosives I'm going to get her ass up off them and get them and I don't give a s*** what anybody would think about it
You know what annoys me is this whole thing about woman making big feminist groups and finding strength in numbers..strength in numbers to that degree is the same kind of thing sheep do. I respect a girl who doesnt feel "alone" walking into a class and and where shes the only girl or have to need other girls around her to feel comfortable. A strong person is one who can stand on their own, doesnt complain and instead takes action to achieve everything they want to achieve. My mom had a supper rough childhood and you'd never hear her complain about fairness or equality, cause it didnt matter to her, as far as she was concerned she had the same rights as anyone else and so instead of complaining she made people respect her NOT by enforcing differences by complaining women this and women that, but by making people respect her by the grit (that didnt need to be spoken outloud or praised by 10 other girls) and actions she took. Thats true strength.
+Skarra Baines But all these women were working with other women, not men and even if they were, we have female firefighters who lift men out of fires. They are trained to be fit and put on muscle.
I commented this before but when I was at the National training center, during an exercise, I was "killed" by a mortar strike. Three female medics pick me up to shoulder height, about 5ft up, took a few steps then dropped me flat on my back. They couldn't pick me back up (I was "dead" and told not to help them) then ONE guy scooped me up and fireman carried me to the APC WITH ONE HAND WHILE MAINTAINING SECURITY WITH HIS M4 IN THE OTHER HAND!!!
You idiotic womb reject..... These female "SOLDIERS" did what you have not the courage. You are so short in yourself, that you cannot Stand A Woman SOLDIER doing what you have not the courage, moral guides, or intellectual prowess to do yourself. Your ego would find your ass back in the states. I have been there and done that, looking on as a 5' 6" LADY Soldier pick a .50 and carry to a fighting position behind a berm after an ambush just north of BIAP and she spread lead.......
No matter what the men around me say, as a man my self, I truely believe women can do anything they want to do. RIP to all the soliders (Male and female) that Canada and USA have lost in the present and the past.
your comment was inspiring and I wholeheartedly agree, but did we need to know your gender? dose that matter? and there is no need to insult someone else's opinion whilst stating your own in the same breath.
david whitehead I stated my gender only because I hear a lot of men that think women are too weak to do the job, and if I said I was a woman, then half the internet would think I'm a feminist or something. I'm not trying to be offensive or anything, just trying to state that as a man I believe women can do more then what society thinks women can do.
But it's true. Men are more capable for this than a woman. If I see a woman that can keep up with the amount of pressure and weight they carry like a man. I will respect that woman because she knows that no body gets special treatment. I'd have more faith with a man carrying me to safety than a woman because we're built to do this kind of shit. I'm not saying this out of disrespect, I'm saying this cause it's a fact.
I believe I can fly at Mach 3 too, doesnt mean its physically possible. Just because I want to believe something, it doesnt mean its a fact. There is something called BIOLOGY.
About time women warriors/soldiers are getting their due! Kudos to all people (regardless of their gender, orientation, race, religion or whatever) who are putting their lives at risk for our freedom! Hopefully, Canada will follow suit (if we have not already).
@@ozarkmountains4947 well those women are obviously willing to sacrifice their own life and fight as possible as they can and they knows their capabilities and that's warrior and ur also warrior...... keyboard warrior.
Darkcatzter Gareborg. This is to arrest the spread of homosexuality in the US army. Marines get live jack off material. Female soldiers also get to practice their hazing skills on unsuspecting enemy women. It's kind of a new thing in the porno industry. These people have no shame.
These women went through a serious selection course ran by some of the Army's greatest warriors. To be selected, then deploy with my brother and do their job, they deserve to be called WARRIORS! No one should ever say something negative about them or say they shouldn't have been there! I have total respect and love for you my sisters!!!!
They didn't do the same job as their brothers. Why do you think they were flown in instead of going out on patrol? Any female Marine will tell you what happens when they do formation runs. They fall out.
Robert Raya the only people that are nay saying these bad ass female warriors are intimidated by them or are envious. Women have been fighting in wars for centuries. Little-dicked insecure males and envious insecure females are the only ones complaining
they do excite me...but I'm too old and too experienced and worldly to accept women as equal warriors carrying a spear next to my son. This is crazy and women ought to man-up and realize it. They can help war efforts in SO many ways without gumming up works in combat units. Doing so is definitely (and is now) causing standards to drop, little demoralizing romance problems and pr prego to break out; litigation; harassment issues and so on. NONE of that is acceptable and even if it's male's fault, it won't happen if there are now women there. And there'll never be more than small percentage there anyway even with altered standards and "female monitors (like were used at ranger School sham a year or so ago)." It's better to have single sex be the sex that is going to be 95% of those units anyway, rather than worry about equality in a situation where, frankly, there's no equality between men and women. I believe in yin and yang in the world but not when it comes to the sad, aberrant but critical and unavoidable drama of war fighting. Women can dominate in so many ways (both openly and behind the scenes), intellectually in areas, in relationships, in teaching, in sensuality (of a healthy kind, mind you), in pushing men to do what's expected of them, and in organizing and doing community things (even in support of war efforts), and if women are needed there should be a way for them to be, like WWII, to be utilized in industry, auxiliary, nursing, and certain training areas. At the very least, to have them in tanks, artillery, infantry and related areas is a true disaster waiting to happen and when it does, it'll be for keeps with no time to train her replacements when the horrible truth is no longer politically protected. Love ya, ladies, but both men and women have to man-up here and both do their part, whatever that might be.
In our wars 60% fatalities are combat related and in actual combat. 40% have been accidents and injuries not related to combat. In Afghanistan it gets more complicated and the percentages change due to circumstance. Combat troops are normally killed in combat. Support troops are killed through accidents or die of illness. The numbers get squirrelly. Many support troops die because of IEDs, others die from rocket and mortar attacks, and due to the nature of the war a number die from insider shootings. Though these are listed as combat related the casualties are often support troops.
Im a vet and father and father of a daughter, i used to be against women in combat due to not wanting future monthers suffering ptsd, but, i rember a mexican-american female usaf security police sgt saved my life with a shot gun at holloman afb, nm(tac) 1979. So go for it!!
"she didn't even need her feet" 2:17 great job, you are using a wrong technique that could see you fall four meters to the floor and frog leg urself! Equality!
@Andrew Kerr I know I was disappointed to hear that and I’m a woman . I wanted to hear them say oh we can pick anyone up . I wanted to hear they are badass to the fucking T . Because our military shouldn’t lower the standards
@@spanishconquistador6371 classic lib sentiment...y'all being so compassionate. "If you dissent, you must die," says the real liberal. Thx for being real. Always good to know they enemy. Btw, if we have these women scattered through the rank and file of USMC and Army infantry in the next real war we have, there WILL be lots of dead that wouldn't have died otherwise. Or worse yet, pols will be made aware by generals that we can't fight China over Taiwan or wherever because of 'readiness issues;' those issues will be that by then 15-20%, by quota, of rank and file combat arms will be chicks. Can't win wars with chicks mucking things up and making men's legs weak. Common sense for 7,000 yrs of recorded human history until the Marxist 1960s counter-revolution was launched feminism being huge part of it).
Woman should be allowed in the military for specific combat positions. Support. Supply. Special Forces. Community outreach such as in this video. It’s nowhere near as black and white as both sides make it look. We cannot ignore physical differences but at the same time excluding all women from the military simply because will also disadvantage us.
I saw these gals carrying each other in one clip... that’s fine if your unit is all women but if your unit is mixed with men, a woman has to carry a male that might weigh double what a woman would, that presents a dangerous challenge to the unit in battle. As a soldier you are reliant on your fellow soldier and your fellow soldier is reliant on you, political correctness has no place on the battle field. If equality is expected, equal performance is expected
of course you let them use your land to attack our land and act shocked when we come to get even. You let bin Laden hang out there and plan his murders from there. some people in that country needed killing; still do.
I served with women soldiers back in the mid-late 70s. 33% of my AIT graduating class were women. They did an outstanding job. Some men and women are just born to be soldiers. It really boils down to doing a good job in a sometimes challenging environment. To be an asset to the team. It should say something when both Army and Marine brass want women included in any future military draft.
Josh M Haha, you're funny. I'm proof that you're wrong. I don't know what's worse, a Muslim man's bias towards women or a western man's bias towards women. At least a Muslim man is up front and firm about it. Would you rather we just continue to spread our legs for when you need some and stay in the kitchen? Or would you rather work and live along side women equally? Is it just a natural instinct for men to just dominate everything? Or can they share?
It says people like me have lost the political argument to the feminists. I guess Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, the Wehrmacht and our own forces from 1776 until fairly recently...we all missed how some women were also "just born to be soldiers?" Absurd. if a woman is NOT born to be any one thing, it's to be a soldier (assuming you know what that is: a trained spear and sword who lives to kill people and break things on command). We have natural bias (if we are real men) in favor of women and want them to be successful, happy and productive, and this causes many to sugar coat this fiasco of "female soldiers." It's obviously absurd no matter the trappings. We have only so many combat billets in our all-volunteer forces. They ALL need to be filled with qualified males, for obvious reasons of strength, size, attitude (aggression).
Sarah White. Sure, I'm all about "real" equality not the contrived BS most feminists actually believe in. Frankly, most women who say they're feminists are only "situational feminists". They will drone on about equality when it's to their benefit or they will go with traditionalism when that is more beneficial. I've seen it over and over. And speaking of living as "equals", when are women going to take to the streets and march, protest, picket and petition over being excluded from Selective Service requirements. I'm sure the National Organization for Women will be organizing that any day now......right? The prohibition on women in combat was lifted in March 2016.....I'm sure the March on Washington to change that will happen soon.....right? Oh, and before you go with the weak argument of "men make the laws"....that never stops women from complaining any other time you all see something "unequal". So, why the silence on Selective Service? You equality desiring women are being discriminated against solely due to your gender..... Most women "talk" a great game when it comes to real "equality" but they generally fall short when it comes down to it.
Is no one going to mention the fact they simply braided their hair and removed their helmets to gain understanding/acceptance from the local people? That they didn't just go in guns blazing. I found that really cool. :)
They don't have to go in guns blazing. They only conduct interviews in areas previously cleared and secured. FET teams are useless for the fight. But they do gather important intelligence if the local elders allow their women to talk to them.
The soft should remain silent, when the hearty sacrifice to protect the home of the brave. If you are too soft for combat, become a lawyer and fight in court to help your countrymen, rich and poor.
I knew two men that could not be serve in the Canadian Army Infantry during WW2 because ,coming out of the depression ,they didn't make the weight requirement.
Well women can be theor but only the women who match up to the same physical qualifications as a man. Which due to testosteron means it will only be a few who happen be exceedingly gifted athletically like that
1:50 is why women shounldnt be in the infantry, your not supposed to rely on some one else being able to carry the causualty, every member of the unit is suppoesd to be able to do it with out fail, what if the person she's refering to is the casualty, who carries them?
so f'n what?? we're talking about the institutionalizing and mass training of large numbers of women; not one or two women out of a million soldiers who disguised themselves as men to help out.
they are getting in with lower standards doing lower quality jobs with your tax money and suppose to serve u n the countey not be praised. u suppose to be mad
@@flowrepins6663 Don't push your own fantisies and creations on me, I won't validate you. Your opinions is just that, your opinion, and it will never ever amount to facts. Grow up
It’s nice how they have woman in the military but leave the combat to the men woman would be worst in hand to hand combat and stuff and also we are just built to do tougher jobs
+DonkeyDick Well female police officers work with male officers and female fire fighters work with male fire fighters and are able to do their job perfectly fine. Therefore women can work with male soldiers too, especially if they work out. Women have the capacity to build muscle and both men and women will bring different advantages, men having just EXTRA strenght and women being lighter, able to move faster etc. Nurturing children is something every parent should do and shouldnt effect work.
Nonsense. Male and females do not have the same standards (they lied way back just like the pc crowd calling the shots is doing now). I know, I was in army for three and fed LEO for 20. they changed the standards right from get-go, despite saying opposite. But you know what? When the lie/trap was sprung, men were silent because they knew by then that the fix was in and continued noise would cost them career and pension. And that's how myths continue despite being pure BS.
We have female boxers, female wrestlers, why not female soldiers? What people need to understand is that NOBODY, not even a man is built for war. None of us are machines or robots. We are human beings and war is not a natural state for anyone. It traumatizes men aswel and a lot commit suicide. The thing that is needed most is FITNESS, strenght and determination. These women WORK-OUT... HARDD. Atleast women will show more care to civilians.
AntiSocialSweetheart Boxing and wrestling have seperated male and femlale divisions. Just like eer other sport. Women are biologically and evolutionarily designed for nurturing offspring. Deal with it.
Do we have women boxers competing against male boxers? If you believe women belong in combat, find an all female enemy and go send them to fight there. As for not being built for combat, why do you think men are larger and more muscular? Why don't you study primates a bit more and learn a little about evolution before spouting off bullshit. Male primates evolved to fight and fuck. That's about it. Men can be traumatized by chronic combat, but women can be reduced to tears by a traffic ticket and mean twitter comments. They're not physically or mentally tough enough for any combat role.
the boxers and wrestlers, at an adult level anyway, fight each other, not males (thank God). True, nobody is built for war but men are better suited than women. A fit women and a fit man are not equal in size, attitude, muscle mass, durability. Fit is great but war is not fought in weight divisions. And no war was won by being social workers. Soldiers need to kill people and break things on a large scale until all are dead or until enemy says uncle. that's what we did in WWII...the last war this nation won. We've been globalism, feminism, hearts and minds bs since then and it has hurt this nation a lot in blood, toil, broken spirits and treasure.
NoMoreMissNiceGirl Why do u think male and female sports are segregated. You think a female boder can fight a male boxer? Get real, u clown. Women cannot physically perform as well as men. Look at the records for any sport in the Olympics. Compare the male and female records, and see the huge difference. Women are not fit for combat. The men are faster, stronger, tougher, and more resilient because their bodies are surging with testosterone. Its what makes a man a man.
It's all well and good describing a small group of female soldiers as brave and strong but it's a bit of a "fuck you" to all of the men fighting on the front lines watching each other being blown apart and loading bodies into bags. Even of the three people killed in the video, the names of the men aren't even mentioned - they were disposable whilst the woman was described as selfless and courageous.
Teddy Bear Do my research? What the fuck are you talking about? Did they or or did they not ignore the men who were killed due to the incompetence of their female colleague? Did they then call the woman responsible a hero? The answer of course is yes. These are examples of a blind feminist agenda where women are placed on a plinth regardless of their actions or bravery and men are regarded expendable. Take your feminist bullshit back to Tumblr or Twitter.
It's not a "fuck you" to anyone, you dipshit. How many war movies have been made glorifying male soldiers? How many books written? Tumblr feminists are ridiculous, and people like you are the other side of the same stupid coin.
Sam Gee it's an inspiration for young females wanting to join the military and be on the front lines to see other females doing so, especially in such a male-dominated field when there are so many male heores and hardly any female ones. and no of course the men weren't "disposable". i don't understand how you could possibly think spotlighting the accomplishments and bravery of female soldiers somehow makes the sacrifice of male soldiers less. So get over this ego you have because in the end a soldier is a soldier no matter the gender.
I believe Women are capable of being on front lines. But naturally women lack the physical attributes of a Male. So they wouldn’t be able to be more efficient in battle. They can be, but they would have to work and suffer a lot more to match the strength level of a male. But some Women are also naturally almost or as strong as a Male but it’s not very common. This is, no intention of being sexist. Just saying facts :)

I would think that if women want to be treated equally this should be about soldiers not women soldiers. This segment seems like a 'women me too' thing. Maybe instead of trying to provide that women can do what men do, women work with men to achieve the same objective.
yes, win the damned war. That is done by not distracting war fighters with women. men cannot concentrate on killing and breaking things if we are around women. It's a primal thing and they must know it.
@@tape2518 T_H_I_N_K. when large numbers of young men came home from that war, there was so much sex for so long that we got baby boom generation. What might've happened back then if 20% of the rank and file OVER THERE were females? Yep, the answer is obvious for those willing to face it: mass preggo, sexual entanglements. men turn to women for TLC when under great pressure and women turn to men for protection under great pressure. There's no greater pressure than being caught up in a real war...like we haven't faced in 75 years.
As a person who is uni qualified in Sociology, Psychology and Philosophy, as well as being in the forces and having served with females, I have to say that in training, when they are not going to die, they lost badly but gained respect, in combat... I worry about an additional variable like this as, the main scope of getting the job done is completing it in a team in which literally nobody slows the unit, they only make the unit more efficient.... Sorry, but the FACTS show that while the male soldiers can make concessions to help them through certain situations............ A solider should never ever have to make that choice as the point of the unit is to complete to job as well as possible. This kind of thought has little use under fire. MOST females who serve will agree with this to a large degree with a few personal experience disagreements. But the second a concession adds 1 unnecessary second to a mission, that concession gets eliminated as the enemy, assuming they want to win, would most likely not be that stupid as it increases the chance of a loss. The loss is too high to allow silly opinions to be included. I welcome ANY serving female solider in combat to debate this.
I joined because I wanted to. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I love my job. I love the friends I've made. I would do anything for them and my country. That's all there is to it. People like to immediately assume reasons why certain people do things. Most of the time, it's pretty simple: I want to do it. That's that.
Unfortunately women in the infantry are not fighting in the battlefield like men. Women that fight the most in a war are Air Force pilots because they’re safer flying on a jet than fighting in a firefight against terrorists, unless they may be shot down by a surface to air missile and land on enemy territory and need to fight to survive till they’re rescued by a military squadron.
why do they think this is something so awsom ???????? Men are doing it every day and what makes them so special, because there women ?????? Doesn't this sound hypocritical ??? Women want equal right's so why do they want to make what they did so special, ow yea that's right they want equal rights when it benefits them !!!
Ok man, you might want to clean up your grammar if you're going to say something uneducated. Western women are equal to men- I say that as a woman myself who is going to enter the work force- but there aren't as many in the military because of physical disadvantages. So when you DO see women in the military, it is pretty awesome because they worked hard to get to that level, plus its still kinda rare. Most women do not want benefits, we just want to be seen as equals to men, your view on society has either been skewed or you are too young to understand.
@@tape2518 i appluad u btw what are u joining? As for me am applying for the army i was doing p.t test and most of the women failed it only 2 passed it out of 13 females. Everyone respected the 2 women who passed it cos they worked their socks off they knew they have to put in twice the effort a guy does they even beat some of the guys which just goes to show u something. Anyways am alright with women in the combat zone it still feels akward to see one tho since generally boys have been indoctrinated to always think women aren't interested in fighting wars.
That is remarkable and it is done all over the world. Women fought in the Pakistan-Indian war, WWII, and the most famous ones are the Israeli women battalion fighting just like any other combat soldier. They are our sisters, wives, fighting soldiers giving their all for the benefit of our nation. They give their todays in order for us to have tomorrows. God Bless the US and all of the soldiers fighting for peace and freedom throughout the world. Whoah!
Strength is never the key issue. I was the first to teach mine rescue to women at the Colorado School of Mines. Everyone has always assumed great strength is needed. Intelligence, determination and a will to do the job is what is necessary. I appointed women to serve as rescue team captains and there was no difference in performance or capability.
WTF are you talking about. Rescuers aren't fighters. DO you not realize how heavy a Bradley cannon or M1A1 breach is? Do you not know how much a full 72 hour infatryman's pack weighs? It is most definitely about muscle mass, endurance, upper body strength and pain tolerance. Folks assume that every person in the Army is a fighter. They aren't. Even in combat units, not everybody sees the the enemy and fires upon him. It is a very very small percentage of soldiers who "Actually" engage iwth the enemy. The other are either support, or combat service and support. Of the small percentage of troops who actually kill for a living, they are constantly assessed on their ability to do the job. There are plenty of able bodied men who are forced to leave a MOS because they aren't strong enough or can't accomplish specific tasks. You can't best believe that the crew of an Bradley or Abrams has met all the requirements necessary to keep the Tank functioning as well as continue to fight on foot with all associated gear should the tank become a mobility kill. How many women you know can lift a 248lb Bradley cannon while in a seated position should they experience a locked/frozen breach? I doubt you know many. The problem is when we have one woman who smokes the Ranger course, does outstanding on the P.T. test using male standards etc.....Folks think "All" women are able to do that. That's not the case. Filling combat crews requires numbers. And not just numbers on the active crews, but numbers in the replacements as well. So the world we live in now dictates that women be allowed in combat arms because of a few freaks of nature. Well when the Army starts assigning women to direct combat units even if they don't want to be there, then they will realize the mistake they are making. It's one thing to evaluate a person on specific tasks here stateside. But it's a totally different ballgame when you are under fire, cannon is locked up, you've thrown track, radios are out and you have to abandon the tank/brad and hump with 200lbs of gear plus drag your wounded to safety. No time then for a fkng experiment.
@@williampayton9515 Yes yes I understand that. 80% of men couldn't do any of that either. Some with training could, maybe. When I was in Vietnam I was (still am) 5'4" and weighed about 150 lb early on but as time went by closer to 120 lb. Had to carry the same gear in the field as everyone else normally 70 - 80 lbs. Recon got up to 120 lbs. This is all in 100 - 120 degrees and near 100% humidity. Jungles and swamps, ridges climbing hundreds of feet. There were guys that I know were at the minimum height at 5'2', some around 5'. A friend of mine with a SOG RT was around the 5' mark. He looked like a mild mannered accountant yet he was one of those that got well up into North Vietnam. I figured the same thing as you state, but now think I am wrong. Few of anyone can make the rangers because it requires a will to do or die trying. Back when I was actively lifting a lot of weight I hung around the 60 to 80 lb range. when I decided to move up first added 10 lbs every two weeks, then every week, then more often. I was about at 160 lb when some wiener trying to impress a girl moved in front of me on my sequence of machines. Pissed me off so I swung around to the one beyond where I was pushing 160 in a military lift. did a couple of reps then still mad eyed the idiot and slammed the pin into highest weight 250 lbs. This was nearly 100 lb above what I had achieved. Looked at him again growled (bad habit when mad) and did 10 lifts at 250 the guy then left, but I had to consider what I had done. piddling around the lower weight was where I thought my limit was. Lifting 250 lb told me I had been thinking incorrectly. Afterwards I added even more weight. I found it was all in the mind all in the will. I started maxing out many of the machines proving what the will can accomplish. The bigger guys, the body builders and power lifters, to join them in free weights. Will power was key. The rangers, seals, sf are all driven to achieve and though the aren't really stronger tougher or faster than others since there is always someone stronger, tougher, or faster those people will never have the will to use what they have like SO do. Women are not what they used to be. They now compete in marathons, iron man competitions, and other strength related activities. There are always men that are better, but only some of them. Even when a woman contender comes in after the male leaders she is still in front of 98% or more of the men. By the way the 98 percentile is the strength metric for Asian men and the strength factor used in equipment designs. This also the strength ratio for western women especially Americans. The world is turning up side down in these matters. As more women strive in activities the better they will become. Most women like most men will never make the grade, but enough will to change our culture. Most armies require a support train of at least 7 persons to back up those getting shot at. Besides whomever love this country enough to bleed for it has earned my respect, I don't care who they are otherwise; in uniform they are soldiers. Only 1% or less of citizens in this country are willing to serve. The women who choose to go into combat have my respect considering all these tough professional athletes avoid service. Whatever percentage of the 1% that women make up shows courage, more than all those tough guys out there. most of those deriding saying negative things aren't the in the ranks of the 1% who do serve. These blowhards don't have the courage of the women who serve otherwise they would be serving. There is a perspective here that we all should consider. We didn't have women in our ranks during Vietnam, but the VC and NVA did. Other than being willing to die for their beliefs they were also capable of killing some of us. When a round snaps by it don't matter what the gender of the person who fired it is. Dying in the service of this country is an honor. I respect anyone who signs that blank check.
I heat yah but combat loads are heavier than in nam so look at that, then the facts that female and male have different pt test because of the different biology larger lung capacity and muscle. Spent ten years in iraq and Afghanistan after the marines as a private military contractor was on a few teams we had one female on two different teams. The dynamic changes everyone wants to protect her like a sister more than anything. Then you got the fact she weighs 100 pounds less than every guy and half the height. Thats before you factor in soft armor, plates, and ammo. So now we have a weakness. The marine corps did a study for this integration
Woman want equal rights to.men and be seen as equals , but the men can't search woman in Afghanistan because they are seen as different to woman and so the men don't get equal rights to search . You can't cherry pick.equal rights
Don't believe everything you see on the news. We very well did search females. Have a local elder or male from her family present and search on. Then cuff em and make em face the wall until the interpreters could interview them.
@@williampayton9515 why should a man search a woman? The main reason of female soldiers going to afghanistan was to bridge the gap between foreign troops and Afghani women. How can any woman feel comfortable being touched by a man, she doesn't know at all
@@pm6822 Negative. The reason we have FET teams is to interrogate female citizens who would otherwise feel intimidated being questioned by the strong arm tactics of males. Searching, seizing and detaining was an entirely different issue. Stop supporting terrorists and you won't get searched, it's that simple. Begone
I think if a female joins combat she should just be there for medic reasons . And I’m a woman . Sorry not sorry but a woman not being able to pick up a fallen comrade is a liability at that point . She could cost not just her life but her fellow soldiers life just for the simple act of not having that upper body strength she mentioned .
If they want to serve great you can't have the same standard as men. I don't like the idea of women in combat but if its voluntary then its none of anyone's business. Thank you for your service
@@kw2183 Not sexist just as things should be by genetic design. Women are designed to attract a man, get pregnant and raise a family.

I have seen countless of articles about female soldiers who want to join the front lines but not a single male interview or perspective of what it's like in combat with a female soldier.
PVPBait I e seen lots of male interviews
If you really have seen TH-cam videos or interviews of a male soldiers encouraging woman 2 enlist in the front lines please link it. Link it so I can share it. I mean you did say you seen lots. So it shouldn't be a problem for you to link up just one.
PVPBait that’s not what I said I said I’ve lots of male interviews
Oh I see. Well if you happen to come across one? Please post it on your TH-cam channel. I'm going to subscribe to your channel right now. And I do hope you find one. I'm curious as to what reasoning they would have for posting a woman on the front lines. I have one main reason for why women should not be on the front lines. It's because a man can take a beating and a woman can't. Yes women are fast and agile but they just can't take a hit. I guess that's why they say take it like a man and not take it woman. LOL 🤣 🤣😁😅
They get in the way from what I herd. They selfishly continue to try to enlist.
All regulations should be the same for every one - same job same qualifications, same standards. Equality means equal.
@David, Did she die equally enough for you?
You think so. Woman fight for equality right. OKAY THAN SO IF A WOMAN HITS HER MAN THAN THE MAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT BACK WITH OUT GETTING IN TROUBLE.. SEE THAT WOULD BE FAIR. WOMAN SHOULD GET EQUALITY ITS ONLY FAIR!!!!!!
Laura, I agree. The consequences should be the same, so spousal abuse committed by a woman should receive the same penalties as the man and a female teacher carrying on an affair with a student should get the same sentence as a man.
I disagree with people carrying on about how women didn't earn this or that in the military. One guy seems so intent on equality that I wanted to know if he thought she died as equally as he felt she should. He seems very disdainful. These same screeds were used similarly when blacks were integrating into the service.
Women on the front lines has been going on while this ban was in place. Sergeants and captains were interviewed and said that even though there was a ban on women on the front lines, it was being done. Women were used on the front lines as a matter of necessity and they were injured and sometimes killed, not because they were foolish silly women but because of the hazards of war.
So, I probably agree a whole lot with what you might have to say than what you might expect.
@@lauraherrera9808 no hitting. period.
Amy class of "68... I salute these woman for a job well done. BUT women and men ARE different, deal with it. "During basic combat training, up to 5% of men and 20% of women sustain a stress fracture, researchers noted, with the most common fracture sites being the tibia, fibula and metatarsals, followed by the femur and pelvis."
2:00
"If I couldn't lift a fallen comrade then there was always another woman who could help me"
What if you were the only one left and had to carry the soldier on your own? They'd die in the name of equality 👍
If the female soldier was on her own and had to carry the soldier by herself, it would still be hell of a lot better to die for equality and by defending your country, because clearly, if the weren't any women, the soldier would be alone with no male comrades around him. Bet if you were the wounded soldier you would rather want to be helped by a female soldier than no male soldier at all.
In the war zone, you cannot expect the luxury of having a spare comrade to help you; you will be expected to perform the duty on your own
Q C
I disagree. While there may be instances where you might need to complete a task by yourself, the armed forces are always instilling teamwork and a no man left behind mentality.
Eugene If you cannot lift your fellow comrade by yourself, then you become a liability, especially during the heat of battle and if no one else is available to give a boost. This is the point I was trying to make. I agree that under normal circumstances, teamwork is paramount. So you see, context is everything.
Q C ah I was unsure who you were replying to so I didn’t fully understand the point your were making. But yeah after seeing what you meant yeah I agree with you.
"I wanted to prove..." Wrong reason and bad mentality. It's not about service and wanting to serve. It's about this new female mentality about doing something just to prove to the world. Well, a team is as strong as its weakest team member. That's dangerous in direct combat in general.
What are you talking about? Why is it a bar mentality that you want to show everyone that you are not a weak member and a danger to everyone else?
@Cooze i think, everyone has different reason
not serve for country or any politican
that reason can be personal, and could be change after training
I agree . You shouldn’t have to prove you should just want to serve
@Cooze usually thats true, but not all of the time.

Wow, so much respect for these women. I served in the USMC, very proudly, as a Woman Marine, in 1979 - 1983. We didn't have these opportunities/responsibilities, but we were tough....we are Marines. I'm so very proud to say that we paved the way for these heroines in this video. You can be tough, feminine and do the job required with the proper training and the proper people. We were a "few good women", just like these soldiers are. Semper Fi and HOOO AH to these brave, strong, capable Army GI's, and THANK YOU for your service!!!
Thank you for your service and congratulations on your perseverance and determination paying off for you and these women
That was a sad story about young lady killed in Afghanistan, but so many men and women have died there and in Iraq during the wars in both countries.Seeing stories like that make you so proud of the many people who signed up to defend the nation, and their allies.
She was dangerous she got two guys killed
The courage and dedication of American soldiers were wasted by muddled foreign policy directives.

If you’re a 100kg guy and get downed in combat, a girl who’s half your weight and the physical equal to a 14 year old boy isn’t gonna be able to drag you to safety.

@@fergalkidd91 the fact that teenagers are probably more fit for military then women proves that all their points are dumb.
Jay D good point.
Actually enemy cares if the soldier is a female he shot her in her leg so that he do not kill her and if the soldier is BOY he will be fucked up and I say that because I was fighting Americans in Iraq we shot the boys only
@@ifmohammed6495 that's messed up, I thought women wanted equality but I guess they just can't figure out that they are already more privileged.
My experiences in the Army serving with women is I can only think of two female Soldiers which I would be comfortable going into combat with. These are the exception not the rule. I think they make wonderful pilots as well as many other jobs, but infantry and combat arms belongs to the male. Sorry about your offended nerves. Things are not equal. Women make the same money, but required to do half the amount, does that sound fair? I used to have to take females to shower runs from out in the field while us men had to stay. I went from a all male Combat unit to a mixed unit and what a difference and not a good one at that. If they would make the standards the same. Raise the standard for men because we are too fat and NCO's have a lack the ability to properly discipline the Soldiers. If women want to serve they better be able to do it too. The main point I would like to make is one day we are going to piss off the world too much and we will have to fight a real enemy capable of inflicting great damage to us and I feel the current Cover your ass and lefty feel good measures hurts our capability.
Amen to that brother. Females can join the military with the exception of frontline combat. Theres other support roles that need manpower and they can make a difference just like you said pilot or ammunition delivery or Radar support just not combat it will only increase the casualty and distraction moreover the female biology is not meant for vigorously combat causes massive increase jeopardy to health as compared to the males. But I say female snipers or recon seem like an ok exception there no need for heavy weight carry and stealthy most male enemies do not raise suspicion for female spies.
I’m a woman and I completely agree!
That's true, women can serve all types of combat roles, not just hand to hand!
I’m a woman and I agree but only for one reason … having to pick up a fallen soldier . I’m sorry but picking up a 200 lb or more male is no easy task . And during open fire that is important to be able to do and do quickly .
@@Nikki3b0oxX Yep, and also in the bible Israel had a sexist culture because they considered it shameful for a man to be killed by a woman, evan if it was in self defense, because Abimelech in judges 9 in the bible tried to burn a woman along with others who were in the tower, which is why he wanted to burn it down! So in self defense she threw down a millstone upon his head and broke open his skull! Abimelech didn't like that and so he had his male armour bearor to run him through so that we wouldn't be able to say that a woman killed him. So during the times of Judges abuse towards women was allowed, misogyny and toxic masculinity like Abimelech was also allowed.(Toxic masculinity is an inversion of True masculinity.) Thankfully there is not a law in the bible saying that "It is shameful for a man to be killed by a woman!" Because if Our Heavenly Father had said that than you as a woman wouldn't be in the military or learning any kind of self defense what so ever. So both men and women in this culture can learn how to defend themselves and kill if necessary, because in judges 4:9 Deborah told Barak that Our Heavenly Father would give Sisera into the hands of a woman, so Our Heavenly Father is not against a man being killed by a woman, just as he is not against a woman being killed by a man. He is only against those who murder people. And he is only against men like Abimelech who try to murder women and who are against women defending themselves and vise versa. And as a man I will fulfill my role and provide and protect a woman!
I know that I will catch PURE HELL from this comment, however.......... When male/female can train on an equal basis, hump the same weight, do the same strength training AND be able to each carry a 200 pound person to a designated safe place, THEN AND ONLY THEN should they be in theater and fighting along side men. Sorry ladies, this is only one female opinion. Respectfully Submitted
and then there's the romance problem and the prego problem. I've heard women in the past say that isn't their problem and men "just need to get over it." That's like women just getting over pms: it's nature and men aren't going to stop competing for a desirable female (or...in this weird situation, the only female in the squad or platoon). To say that men (mostly 18-22) will just have to get over it or be punched out for harassment is insane since the vast majority of trained war fighters are going to be male in any case...shouldn't the way be cleared for them to be able to do that horrific task with the least amount of distraction and chaos as possible. Men kill people and break things in a disciplined way on command much better when the one thing that makes them want to relax and get comfortable more than anything on earth (female company) IS NOT AVAILABLE!
You may have not noticed but there are women doing it daily and not only in our military. A while back two women received the English Distinguished Service Order, second only to the Victoria Cross, while working as medics in active combat situations. These two women soldiers did all of what you said women can't. They did under live fire and helped multiple 200 lb men survive. Additionally they worked under fire constantly while they attended the wounded and moved them. This all without regard for their own safety.
They’re changing the standards to make it that way.
May I suggest reading the book. It might change your mind.
Agreed
I can respect a woman like Ashley. R.I.P.
I have the book "Ashley's War" & it is a great story ;I must read the book again. I am seeing this for the first time. I respect the women in combat so much! This truly tears me up! Great story & these very great women who perform combat duty! These women are so great & must be appreciated by all!
This is frankly ridiculous. This attention is precisely the problem. So SOME women did something that men have largely been forced to do throughout time and get special treatment??!!

You know what annoys me is this whole thing about woman making big feminist groups and finding strength in numbers..strength in numbers to that degree is the same kind of thing sheep do. I respect a girl who doesnt feel "alone" walking into a class and and where shes the only girl or have to need other girls around her to feel comfortable. A strong person is one who can stand on their own, doesnt complain and instead takes action to achieve everything they want to achieve. My mom had a supper rough childhood and you'd never hear her complain about fairness or equality, cause it didnt matter to her, as far as she was concerned she had the same rights as anyone else and so instead of complaining she made people respect her NOT by enforcing differences by complaining women this and women that, but by making people respect her by the grit (that didnt need to be spoken outloud or praised by 10 other girls) and actions she took. Thats true strength.
+Skarra Baines But all these women were working with other women, not men and even if they were, we have female firefighters who lift men out of fires. They are trained to be fit and put on muscle.
2:54 "someone else can make up for my lack of strength" LOL!
I commented this before but when I was at the National training center, during an exercise, I was "killed" by a mortar strike. Three female medics pick me up to shoulder height, about 5ft up, took a few steps then dropped me flat on my back. They couldn't pick me back up (I was "dead" and told not to help them) then ONE guy scooped me up and fireman carried me to the APC WITH ONE HAND WHILE MAINTAINING SECURITY WITH HIS M4 IN THE OTHER HAND!!!

No matter what the men around me say, as a man my self, I truely believe women can do anything they want to do. RIP to all the soliders (Male and female) that Canada and USA have lost in the present and the past.
your comment was inspiring and I wholeheartedly agree, but did we need to know your gender? dose that matter? and there is no need to insult someone else's opinion whilst stating your own in the same breath.
david whitehead I stated my gender only because I hear a lot of men that think women are too weak to do the job, and if I said I was a woman, then half the internet would think I'm a feminist or something. I'm not trying to be offensive or anything, just trying to state that as a man I believe women can do more then what society thinks women can do.
But it's true. Men are more capable for this than a woman. If I see a woman that can keep up with the amount of pressure and weight they carry like a man. I will respect that woman because she knows that no body gets special treatment. I'd have more faith with a man carrying me to safety than a woman because we're built to do this kind of shit. I'm not saying this out of disrespect, I'm saying this cause it's a fact.
Matt Brine , sorry I work with a lot of women, they are less dependable on physical jobs with small exception.

Robert Raya the only people that are nay saying these bad ass female warriors are intimidated by them or are envious. Women have been fighting in wars for centuries. Little-dicked insecure males and envious insecure females are the only ones complaining
Nope. The military isn't a feel good social experiment.
Thank you "ALL" for your Amazing Service!
"strong women intimidate boys.. and excite men."
nice slogan...and true. But strong women can be strong without taking up space at Parris Island and Quantico. Lots of kinds of strength, believe me.
they do excite me...but I'm too old and too experienced and worldly to accept women as equal warriors carrying a spear next to my son. This is crazy and women ought to man-up and realize it. They can help war efforts in SO many ways without gumming up works in combat units. Doing so is definitely (and is now) causing standards to drop, little demoralizing romance problems and pr prego to break out; litigation; harassment issues and so on. NONE of that is acceptable and even if it's male's fault, it won't happen if there are now women there. And there'll never be more than small percentage there anyway even with altered standards and "female monitors (like were used at ranger School sham a year or so ago)." It's better to have single sex be the sex that is going to be 95% of those units anyway, rather than worry about equality in a situation where, frankly, there's no equality between men and women. I believe in yin and yang in the world but not when it comes to the sad, aberrant but critical and unavoidable drama of war fighting. Women can dominate in so many ways (both openly and behind the scenes), intellectually in areas, in relationships, in teaching, in sensuality (of a healthy kind, mind you), in pushing men to do what's expected of them, and in organizing and doing community things (even in support of war efforts), and if women are needed there should be a way for them to be, like WWII, to be utilized in industry, auxiliary, nursing, and certain training areas. At the very least, to have them in tanks, artillery, infantry and related areas is a true disaster waiting to happen and when it does, it'll be for keeps with no time to train her replacements when the horrible truth is no longer politically protected. Love ya, ladies, but both men and women have to man-up here and both do their part, whatever that might be.
Christine Phillips your funny
Darius Triche hahahaa so funny😃😐
No not at all.
Yes I respect their service to their country but they are not the front line soldiers that mostly are killed in combat.
Patrick Pepin The military won't even allow them to enter combat, so that's not fair
Masticatious no
think again.
In our wars 60% fatalities are combat related and in actual combat. 40% have been accidents and injuries not related to combat. In Afghanistan it gets more complicated and the percentages change due to circumstance. Combat troops are normally killed in combat. Support troops are killed through accidents or die of illness. The numbers get squirrelly. Many support troops die because of IEDs, others die from rocket and mortar attacks, and due to the nature of the war a number die from insider shootings. Though these are listed as combat related the casualties are often support troops.
Nkoah you really want to send a bunch of women to fight on the frontlines against isis who will just rape the shit out of them.
Thank all of you for your service.
Im a vet and father and father of a daughter, i used to be against women in combat due to not wanting future monthers suffering ptsd, but, i rember a mexican-american female usaf security police sgt saved my life with a shot gun at holloman afb, nm(tac) 1979. So go for it!!
Bessie Coleman and all of the other military women in the history of this county would be proud!
women dont need to do this to prove them selves.. im crying 🥺
they do actually
@ Shiloh Tive they should just join to serve . Proving yourself is the wrong mentality in war .

Fantastic I cried about this story!
I cant wait to join infantry. Its been a dream of mine since I was 10 🤩
go serve our country we commend for that but dont forget to pass the standards
@ Shiloh Tive but why they lower the standards ? 🙁 they need to keep our military strong
So sad for the young lady
Salute her and respect
My deepest condolences to her family.
I read the book ashleys war, i highly reccomend it! Very informative and it will make you proud to be an american.
Need more of how women have served!!!!
Thank you Ashley for your Service!
1:52 that's exactly what the military doesn't want.
@Andrew Kerr I know I was disappointed to hear that and I’m a woman . I wanted to hear them say oh we can pick anyone up . I wanted to hear they are badass to the fucking T . Because our military shouldn’t lower the standards
At 2:40 is the main difference and value. These women are a tremendous asset dealing with female civilians.
Hollywood should make a film about this book, like "Courage Under Fire".
nope they will do a documentary about it when west colapse
that's awesome!..those girls kick ass..rip
don't get cucked.
@@spanishconquistador6371 classic lib sentiment...y'all being so compassionate. "If you dissent, you must die," says the real liberal. Thx for being real. Always good to know they enemy. Btw, if we have these women scattered through the rank and file of USMC and Army infantry in the next real war we have, there WILL be lots of dead that wouldn't have died otherwise. Or worse yet, pols will be made aware by generals that we can't fight China over Taiwan or wherever because of 'readiness issues;' those issues will be that by then 15-20%, by quota, of rank and file combat arms will be chicks. Can't win wars with chicks mucking things up and making men's legs weak. Common sense for 7,000 yrs of recorded human history until the Marxist 1960s counter-revolution was launched feminism being huge part of it).
Woman should be allowed in the military for specific combat positions. Support. Supply. Special Forces. Community outreach such as in this video. It’s nowhere near as black and white as both sides make it look. We cannot ignore physical differences but at the same time excluding all women from the military simply because will also disadvantage us.
Moral of the story:
Don't go out and risk your life for sleazy politicians and war profiteers
Cooking, doing the laundry, ironing the shirts, cleaning the toilets...
👍🏻
Life isn’t that simple
How many of them had to have the standards lowered so they could pass?
None!!
mary nurdoch wdym all of them
I saw these gals carrying each other in one clip... that’s fine if your unit is all women but if your unit is mixed with men, a woman has to carry a male that might weigh double what a woman would, that presents a dangerous challenge to the unit in battle. As a soldier you are reliant on your fellow soldier and your fellow soldier is reliant on you, political correctness has no place on the battle field. If equality is expected, equal performance is expected
Really sad for her. I also had a mision with a British girl in Helmand n this video reminded me of her courage.
of course you let them use your land to attack our land and act shocked when we come to get even. You let bin Laden hang out there and plan his murders from there. some people in that country needed killing; still do.
Can you send me this video because I have the book Ashley's War & it touched my heart very greatly!
RIP thank you for your service...
I served with women soldiers back in the mid-late 70s. 33% of my AIT graduating class were women. They did an outstanding job. Some men and women are just born to be soldiers. It really boils down to doing a good job in a sometimes challenging environment. To be an asset to the team. It should say something when both Army and Marine brass want women included in any future military draft.
Cal Crappie Lol nope. women are a detriment to combat effectivnes. Marines proved that in a survey.
Women do fine in the military, just not in combat roles or anything that requires strength, endurance, or mental fortitude. What was your MOS?
Josh M Haha, you're funny. I'm proof that you're wrong. I don't know what's worse, a Muslim man's bias towards women or a western man's bias towards women. At least a Muslim man is up front and firm about it. Would you rather we just continue to spread our legs for when you need some and stay in the kitchen? Or would you rather work and live along side women equally? Is it just a natural instinct for men to just dominate everything? Or can they share?
It says people like me have lost the political argument to the feminists. I guess Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, the Wehrmacht and our own forces from 1776 until fairly recently...we all missed how some women were also "just born to be soldiers?" Absurd. if a woman is NOT born to be any one thing, it's to be a soldier (assuming you know what that is: a trained spear and sword who lives to kill people and break things on command). We have natural bias (if we are real men) in favor of women and want them to be successful, happy and productive, and this causes many to sugar coat this fiasco of "female soldiers." It's obviously absurd no matter the trappings. We have only so many combat billets in our all-volunteer forces. They ALL need to be filled with qualified males, for obvious reasons of strength, size, attitude (aggression).
Sarah White. Sure, I'm all about "real" equality not the contrived BS most feminists actually believe in. Frankly, most women who say they're feminists are only "situational feminists". They will drone on about equality when it's to their benefit or they will go with traditionalism when that is more beneficial. I've seen it over and over. And speaking of living as "equals", when are women going to take to the streets and march, protest, picket and petition over being excluded from Selective Service requirements. I'm sure the National Organization for Women will be organizing that any day now......right? The prohibition on women in combat was lifted in March 2016.....I'm sure the March on Washington to change that will happen soon.....right? Oh, and before you go with the weak argument of "men make the laws"....that never stops women from complaining any other time you all see something "unequal". So, why the silence on Selective Service? You equality desiring women are being discriminated against solely due to your gender.....
Most women "talk" a great game when it comes to real "equality" but they generally fall short when it comes down to it.
Is no one going to mention the fact they simply braided their hair and removed their helmets to gain understanding/acceptance from the local people? That they didn't just go in guns blazing.
I found that really cool. :)
They don't have to go in guns blazing. They only conduct interviews in areas previously cleared and secured. FET teams are useless for the fight. But they do gather important intelligence if the local elders allow their women to talk to them.
William Payton
However, they do end up in fights even though they’re not supposed to. It’s the unfortunate reality.
u not gonna mention they are not forced to shave hair like male soldiers? wtf cant take that serious.
The soft should remain silent, when the hearty sacrifice to protect the home of the brave. If you are too soft for combat, become a lawyer and fight in court to help your countrymen, rich and poor.
that s awesome ..... good video
So.... It's so secret they can't tell their family's... but then say it was a routine mission. The news bullshits so much it's crazy
Never forgotten fellow warriors . Never .
Diane Sawyer is still at it? Good work.
may god bless this young girls,,cheers from colombia
I knew two men that could not be serve in the Canadian Army Infantry during WW2 because ,coming out of the depression ,they didn't make the weight requirement.
What isn't released is that the majority of women in combat,fall dreadfully short of being able to perform alongside men.Should NOT be there.
Well women can be theor but only the women who match up to the same physical qualifications as a man. Which due to testosteron means it will only be a few who happen be exceedingly gifted athletically like that
1:50 is why women shounldnt be in the infantry, your not supposed to rely on some one else being able to carry the causualty, every member of the unit is suppoesd to be able to do it with out fail, what if the person she's refering to is the casualty, who carries them?
there were women who were in the Revolutionary War and the War Between the States, also.
so f'n what?? we're talking about the institutionalizing and mass training of large numbers of women; not one or two women out of a million soldiers who disguised themselves as men to help out.
about two.
Kicking ass and taking names ! Respect to those amazon warriors !
they are getting in with lower standards doing lower quality jobs with your tax money and suppose to serve u n the countey not be praised. u suppose to be mad
@@flowrepins6663 Don't push your own fantisies and creations on me, I won't validate you. Your opinions is just that, your opinion, and it will never ever amount to facts. Grow up
It’s nice how they have woman in the military but leave the combat to the men woman would be worst in hand to hand combat and stuff and also we are just built to do tougher jobs
+DonkeyDick Well female police officers work with male officers and female fire fighters work with male fire fighters and are able to do their job perfectly fine. Therefore women can work with male soldiers too, especially if they work out. Women have the capacity to build muscle and both men and women will bring different advantages, men having just EXTRA strenght and women being lighter, able to move faster etc. Nurturing children is something every parent should do and shouldnt effect work.
NoMoreMissNiceGirl that's actually not true about women being faster but whatever.
Nonsense. Male and females do not have the same standards (they lied way back just like the pc crowd calling the shots is doing now). I know, I was in army for three and fed LEO for 20. they changed the standards right from get-go, despite saying opposite. But you know what? When the lie/trap was sprung, men were silent because they knew by then that the fix was in and continued noise would cost them career and pension. And that's how myths continue despite being pure BS.
We have female boxers, female wrestlers, why not female soldiers? What people need to understand is that NOBODY, not even a man is built for war. None of us are machines or robots. We are human beings and war is not a natural state for anyone. It traumatizes men aswel and a lot commit suicide. The thing that is needed most is FITNESS, strenght and determination. These women WORK-OUT... HARDD. Atleast women will show more care to civilians.
AntiSocialSweetheart Boxing and wrestling have seperated male and femlale divisions. Just like eer other sport. Women are biologically and evolutionarily designed for nurturing offspring. Deal with it.
Do we have women boxers competing against male boxers? If you believe women belong in combat, find an all female enemy and go send them to fight there.
As for not being built for combat, why do you think men are larger and more muscular? Why don't you study primates a bit more and learn a little about evolution before spouting off bullshit. Male primates evolved to fight and fuck. That's about it. Men can be traumatized by chronic combat, but women can be reduced to tears by a traffic ticket and mean twitter comments. They're not physically or mentally tough enough for any combat role.
the boxers and wrestlers, at an adult level anyway, fight each other, not males (thank God). True, nobody is built for war but men are better suited than women. A fit women and a fit man are not equal in size, attitude, muscle mass, durability. Fit is great but war is not fought in weight divisions. And no war was won by being social workers. Soldiers need to kill people and break things on a large scale until all are dead or until enemy says uncle. that's what we did in WWII...the last war this nation won. We've been globalism, feminism, hearts and minds bs since then and it has hurt this nation a lot in blood, toil, broken spirits and treasure.
NoMoreMissNiceGirl Why do u think male and female sports are segregated. You think a female boder can fight a male boxer? Get real, u clown. Women cannot physically perform as well as men. Look at the records for any sport in the Olympics. Compare the male and female records, and see the huge difference. Women are not fit for combat. The men are faster, stronger, tougher, and more resilient because their bodies are surging with testosterone. Its what makes a man a man.
Aurora Borealis Women dont even fight wars, let alone get actual PTSD. Your "study" is a fucking lie and youre full of shit.
awesome job ladies..
I think when you make it to this level in the Army its very few things that you become afraid of and I don't think dying is one.
rip ashley....respect...
I have no respect for her, or those who hired her. She wanted to fight, she should go to MMA.
It's all well and good describing a small group of female soldiers as brave and strong but it's a bit of a "fuck you" to all of the men fighting on the front lines watching each other being blown apart and loading bodies into bags.
Even of the three people killed in the video, the names of the men aren't even mentioned - they were disposable whilst the woman was described as selfless and courageous.
Grow up. They're admired by many so do your research.
Teddy Bear Do my research? What the fuck are you talking about?
Did they or or did they not ignore the men who were killed due to the incompetence of their female colleague? Did they then call the woman responsible a hero? The answer of course is yes.
These are examples of a blind feminist agenda where women are placed on a plinth regardless of their actions or bravery and men are regarded expendable.
Take your feminist bullshit back to Tumblr or Twitter.
It's not a "fuck you" to anyone, you dipshit. How many war movies have been made glorifying male soldiers? How many books written? Tumblr feminists are ridiculous, and people like you are the other side of the same stupid coin.
Sam Gee your mentality: "i get pissy when things aren't about me"
Sam Gee it's an inspiration for young females wanting to join the military and be on the front lines to see other females doing so, especially in such a male-dominated field when there are so many male heores and hardly any female ones. and no of course the men weren't "disposable". i don't understand how you could possibly think spotlighting the accomplishments and bravery of female soldiers somehow makes the sacrifice of male soldiers less. So get over this ego you have because in the end a soldier is a soldier no matter the gender.
See YPJ ( kurdisch female Fighters ) in Syria
I believe Women are capable of being on front lines. But naturally women lack the physical attributes of a Male. So they wouldn’t be able to be more efficient in battle. They can be, but they would have to work and suffer a lot more to match the strength level of a male. But some Women are also naturally almost or as strong as a Male but it’s not very common. This is, no intention of being sexist. Just saying facts :)

Ohhh that picture says it all.
What are you doing in Afghanistan?
I would think that if women want to be treated equally this should be about soldiers not women soldiers. This segment seems like a 'women me too' thing. Maybe instead of trying to provide that women can do what men do, women work with men to achieve the same objective.
yes, win the damned war. That is done by not distracting war fighters with women. men cannot concentrate on killing and breaking things if we are around women. It's a primal thing and they must know it.
@@teller1290 That sounds like a self control issue on the individuals part.
@@tape2518 T_H_I_N_K. when large numbers of young men came home from that war, there was so much sex for so long that we got baby boom generation. What might've happened back then if 20% of the rank and file OVER THERE were females? Yep, the answer is obvious for those willing to face it: mass preggo, sexual entanglements. men turn to women for TLC when under great pressure and women turn to men for protection under great pressure. There's no greater pressure than being caught up in a real war...like we haven't faced in 75 years.
I Salute these Women Warriors.
As a person who is uni qualified in Sociology, Psychology and Philosophy, as well as being in the forces and having served with females, I have to say that in training, when they are not going to die, they lost badly but gained respect, in combat... I worry about an additional variable like this as, the main scope of getting the job done is completing it in a team in which literally nobody slows the unit, they only make the unit more efficient.... Sorry, but the FACTS show that while the male soldiers can make concessions to help them through certain situations............ A solider should never ever have to make that choice as the point of the unit is to complete to job as well as possible. This kind of thought has little use under fire. MOST females who serve will agree with this to a large degree with a few personal experience disagreements. But the second a concession adds 1 unnecessary second to a mission, that concession gets eliminated as the enemy, assuming they want to win, would most likely not be that stupid as it increases the chance of a loss. The loss is too high to allow silly opinions to be included. I welcome ANY serving female solider in combat to debate this.
all heroes , all the way.
Most respectful women on earth ,,,
Most respectful america
I joined because I wanted to. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I love my job. I love the friends I've made. I would do anything for them and my country. That's all there is to it. People like to immediately assume reasons why certain people do things. Most of the time, it's pretty simple: I want to do it. That's that.
stop
I've served with male and female soldiers in Afghanistan. I don't see the big deal
Unfortunately women in the infantry are not fighting in the battlefield like men. Women that fight the most in a war are Air Force pilots because they’re safer flying on a jet than fighting in a firefight against terrorists, unless they may be shot down by a surface to air missile and land on enemy territory and need to fight to survive till they’re rescued by a military squadron.
I respect female soldiers from every country, war is impossible for women soldiers, let them serve the country but not war
Brave woman,,,, alot of Love & Respect
why do they think this is something so awsom ???????? Men are doing it every day and what makes them so special, because there women ?????? Doesn't this sound hypocritical ??? Women want equal right's so why do they want to make what they did so special, ow yea that's right they want equal rights when it benefits them !!!
Ok man, you might want to clean up your grammar if you're going to say something uneducated. Western women are equal to men- I say that as a woman myself who is going to enter the work force- but there aren't as many in the military because of physical disadvantages. So when you DO see women in the military, it is pretty awesome because they worked hard to get to that level, plus its still kinda rare.
Most women do not want benefits, we just want to be seen as equals to men, your view on society has either been skewed or you are too young to understand.
@@tape2518 i appluad u btw what are u joining?
As for me am applying for the army i was doing p.t test and most of the women failed it only 2 passed it out of 13 females. Everyone respected the 2 women who passed it cos they worked their socks off they knew they have to put in twice the effort a guy does they even beat some of the guys which just goes to show u something. Anyways am alright with women in the combat zone it still feels akward to see one tho since generally boys have been indoctrinated to always think women aren't interested in fighting wars.
Well done
That is remarkable and it is done all over the world. Women fought in the Pakistan-Indian war, WWII, and the most famous ones are the Israeli women battalion fighting just like any other combat soldier. They are our sisters, wives, fighting soldiers giving their all for the benefit of our nation. They give their todays in order for us to have tomorrows. God Bless the US and all of the soldiers fighting for peace and freedom throughout the world. Whoah!
Strength is never the key issue. I was the first to teach mine rescue to women at the Colorado School of Mines. Everyone has always assumed great strength is needed. Intelligence, determination and a will to do the job is what is necessary. I appointed women to serve as rescue team captains and there was no difference in performance or capability.
WTF are you talking about. Rescuers aren't fighters. DO you not realize how heavy a Bradley cannon or M1A1 breach is? Do you not know how much a full 72 hour infatryman's pack weighs? It is most definitely about muscle mass, endurance, upper body strength and pain tolerance. Folks assume that every person in the Army is a fighter. They aren't. Even in combat units, not everybody sees the the enemy and fires upon him. It is a very very small percentage of soldiers who "Actually" engage iwth the enemy. The other are either support, or combat service and support.
Of the small percentage of troops who actually kill for a living, they are constantly assessed on their ability to do the job. There are plenty of able bodied men who are forced to leave a MOS because they aren't strong enough or can't accomplish specific tasks. You can't best believe that the crew of an Bradley or Abrams has met all the requirements necessary to keep the Tank functioning as well as continue to fight on foot with all associated gear should the tank become a mobility kill.
How many women you know can lift a 248lb Bradley cannon while in a seated position should they experience a locked/frozen breach? I doubt you know many. The problem is when we have one woman who smokes the Ranger course, does outstanding on the P.T. test using male standards etc.....Folks think "All" women are able to do that. That's not the case. Filling combat crews requires numbers. And not just numbers on the active crews, but numbers in the replacements as well. So the world we live in now dictates that women be allowed in combat arms because of a few freaks of nature. Well when the Army starts assigning women to direct combat units even if they don't want to be there, then they will realize the mistake they are making. It's one thing to evaluate a person on specific tasks here stateside. But it's a totally different ballgame when you are under fire, cannon is locked up, you've thrown track, radios are out and you have to abandon the tank/brad and hump with 200lbs of gear plus drag your wounded to safety. No time then for a fkng experiment.
@@williampayton9515 Yes yes I understand that. 80% of men couldn't do any of that either. Some with training could, maybe. When I was in Vietnam I was (still am) 5'4" and weighed about 150 lb early on but as time went by closer to 120 lb. Had to carry the same gear in the field as everyone else normally 70 - 80 lbs. Recon got up to 120 lbs. This is all in 100 - 120 degrees and near 100% humidity. Jungles and swamps, ridges climbing hundreds of feet. There were guys that I know were at the minimum height at 5'2', some around 5'. A friend of mine with a SOG RT was around the 5' mark. He looked like a mild mannered accountant yet he was one of those that got well up into North Vietnam. I figured the same thing as you state, but now think I am wrong. Few of anyone can make the rangers because it requires a will to do or die trying. Back when I was actively lifting a lot of weight I hung around the 60 to 80 lb range. when I decided to move up first added 10 lbs every two weeks, then every week, then more often. I was about at 160 lb when some wiener trying to impress a girl moved in front of me on my sequence of machines. Pissed me off so I swung around to the one beyond where I was pushing 160 in a military lift. did a couple of reps then still mad eyed the idiot and slammed the pin into highest weight 250 lbs. This was nearly 100 lb above what I had achieved. Looked at him again growled (bad habit when mad) and did 10 lifts at 250 the guy then left, but I had to consider what I had done. piddling around the lower weight was where I thought my limit was. Lifting 250 lb told me I had been thinking incorrectly. Afterwards I added even more weight. I found it was all in the mind all in the will. I started maxing out many of the machines proving what the will can accomplish. The bigger guys, the body builders and power lifters, to join them in free weights. Will power was key. The rangers, seals, sf are all driven to achieve and though the aren't really stronger tougher or faster than others since there is always someone stronger, tougher, or faster those people will never have the will to use what they have like SO do. Women are not what they used to be. They now compete in marathons, iron man competitions, and other strength related activities. There are always men that are better, but only some of them. Even when a woman contender comes in after the male leaders she is still in front of 98% or more of the men. By the way the 98 percentile is the strength metric for Asian men and the strength factor used in equipment designs. This also the strength ratio for western women especially Americans.
The world is turning up side down in these matters. As more women strive in activities the better they will become. Most women like most men will never make the grade, but enough will to change our culture. Most armies require a support train of at least 7 persons to back up those getting shot at. Besides whomever love this country enough to bleed for it has earned my respect, I don't care who they are otherwise; in uniform they are soldiers. Only 1% or less of citizens in this country are willing to serve. The women who choose to go into combat have my respect considering all these tough professional athletes avoid service. Whatever percentage of the 1% that women make up shows courage, more than all those tough guys out there. most of those deriding saying negative things aren't the in the ranks of the 1% who do serve. These blowhards don't have the courage of the women who serve otherwise they would be serving. There is a perspective here that we all should consider. We didn't have women in our ranks during Vietnam, but the VC and NVA did. Other than being willing to die for their beliefs they were also capable of killing some of us. When a round snaps by it don't matter what the gender of the person who fired it is.
Dying in the service of this country is an honor. I respect anyone who signs that blank check.
I heat yah but combat loads are heavier than in nam so look at that, then the facts that female and male have different pt test because of the different biology larger lung capacity and muscle.
Spent ten years in iraq and Afghanistan after the marines as a private military contractor was on a few teams we had one female on two different teams. The dynamic changes everyone wants to protect her like a sister more than anything. Then you got the fact she weighs 100 pounds less than every guy and half the height. Thats before you factor in soft armor, plates, and ammo. So now we have a weakness. The marine corps did a study for this integration
this are real women
What about the other %99.99 of women? Does makeup=Fake?
Ashley's War good book . Good read .
Woman want equal rights to.men and be seen as equals , but the men can't search woman in Afghanistan because they are seen as different to woman and so the men don't get equal rights to search .
You can't cherry pick.equal rights
Don't believe everything you see on the news. We very well did search females. Have a local elder or male from her family present and search on. Then cuff em and make em face the wall until the interpreters could interview them.
@@williampayton9515 why should a man search a woman? The main reason of female soldiers going to afghanistan was to bridge the gap between foreign troops and Afghani women. How can any woman feel comfortable being touched by a man, she doesn't know at all
@@pm6822 Negative. The reason we have FET teams is to interrogate female citizens who would otherwise feel intimidated being questioned by the strong arm tactics of males. Searching, seizing and detaining was an entirely different issue. Stop supporting terrorists and you won't get searched, it's that simple. Begone
Taliban calls this a "target rich environment."
I think if a female joins combat she should just be there for medic reasons . And I’m a woman . Sorry not sorry but a woman not being able to pick up a fallen comrade is a liability at that point . She could cost not just her life but her fellow soldiers life just for the simple act of not having that upper body strength she mentioned .
Yeah, or for HUMINT reasons only too.
If they want to serve great you can't have the same standard as men. I don't like the idea of women in combat but if its voluntary then its none of anyone's business. Thank you for your service
@@kw2183 Not sexist just as things should be by genetic design. Women are designed to attract a man, get pregnant and raise a family. I have nothing against your freedom to have a career or fight in a war if you so choose. All women are sex objects by design, just stating a fact of life young lady. (Life is sexist)
