Do you think there would ever be a situation were the United States Military would actually have to use women?

HollyyMarie

technically women aren't allowed to have combat positions including infantry, artillery etc. etc. but in todays world, many positions put women near combat

ever heard of a combat medic?
many females are combat medics

also, there are other militaries that have women on the frontlines like canada. they serve in infantry, armoured, artillery etc and get sent to the frontlines just like the men, they're treated the same. as they should be.

edit - love this quote
female soldiers, according to Capt. Crawford, bring everything that a man brings to the army and something more. "She was caring. She wanted to define the position for a woman. She wanted to bring the best of both worlds. She was tough but fair, and she wanted to make sure she cared for her soldiers"

this was said about Capt. Nichola Goddard who was a female soldier who was the first female soldier to die in the frontlines in Afghanistan as apart of the Canadian Forces. She's proof that women can do all things men can do

Women have been in combat in Iraq. In fact during the battle in Fallujah, there was a unit of all women calling themselves the Amazons that patroled in Baghdad cause the shortages needed them. They did very well also.

Ive worked with women in Communications (Commo) section. We definitely use women in the military. But Im retired so I dont get to see that anymore.

Oh and not even most women are willing to be fair in the military... They are either most honorable or they are always pulling a stress card.

Uh HELLOOOOO! what cave have you been hiding in the last 7 years?

Edit: Not trying to be a smart a$$, but geesh! Please google and learn about the following:

Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, of Nashville, Tenn

&

Spc. Monica Lin Brown

Two "non-combatants" who earned the Silver Star

and yes I think we will completely normalize the use of women in combat arms in the near future as there aren't enough men with b@lls and intestinal fortitude left in this country anymore.

I took care of quite a few female combat soldiers while deployed in hostile locations....

Where have you been?

No, I don't think we will ever see that. Today, women play important role in our military. We have technicians, engineers, doctors, administrators, maintenance, pilots, and many other areas that are not limited to men.
I don't see a need to put women in direct ground warfare, in our future.

!truth!

Please bring yourself up to date with what the women have been doing in the military starting with fighter/helicopter pilots. Google women in the military who have been killed in action. Hello! wake up!

Well Duh!

I hope not, but women are in combat areas now, they are just not fulfilling combat roles.
