Re: Pentagon lifting ban on American female troops in combat MOS

[greenvelvetcake]

My writing professor asked us in class, "So, what major thing happened today?"

Crickets.

"Anyone?"

Nothing.

"Women can now serve on the front lines!"

"Wait - women weren't allowed to serve on the front lines before? What the hell?!"

I think I'm mostly happy about the non-reaction?

It's good right? Or... well a little disturbing how many rl people I know demonstrated how little they knew about the inner-workings of their country and said the same thing when I shared the news.

So IDK. :/

A little from column A, a little from column B. Most of the class just took it for granted that women in the military could serve in whatever capacity possible.

Mostly agreeing with your option B, but to requote myself from above bc it's LATE here to rehash with paraphrasing since it has to do with possibly capacities people can serve in: Women in the American military in specific areas of work (EOD I know off the top of my head, because that's what my husband does) have been deployed on the 'front lines' for quite some time, but this is generally because they are trained to work in fields that have standards (of PT, etc) that go above and beyond what whichever branch of the military requires for women as a whole. As it stands, women have lower physical fitness requirements then men in the United States military, which is kind of unfortunate in this day and age - if all truly want to be considered 'equal' in whatever line of work Marines/firefights/whatever, my personal opinion is that there should be ONE standard that everyone is held to regardless of X, Y and Z. (Case in point: if I need to be rescued from a building by a firefighter, I don't give a damn whether they're a Dick or a Jane so long as they can pick me up and run!)

At which point everyone's held to carrying the same weight, get 'em girls!
