Women Infantry?

chillidoggy

Looks like the British Army could soon be training up women as infantry if the ban is overturned.

I'm not sure either way. What's your view?

Yup. I think it's a good idea. Once more women start dying in pointless wars, society will have no choice but to address it.

Legend has it they find it easier to kill than men. What's not to like? As long as they're up to the required physical standard, why not?

chillidoggy

Any particular women you'd like to see on the frontline, Drew?

In complete seriousness I suspect that following the first 'Taliban gang rape British female soldier' video to appear online and our media might seriously start asking the question of why we are sending our citizens to fight unwinnable conflicts.

I'd watch that video. A few times.

My wife, my mum, my sisters, my aunts, and my 5 and 6 year old nieces.

Y'know... coz I'm a massive woman hating misogynist and all that.

More of a Mayo kinda guy?

chillidoggy

Well, I have to admit that VPL was something I never considered when I posted this thread. Couldn't they go commando to resolve the issue?
