Find answers to your legal question.





If you were a soldier in war, would you differentiate between killing a woman and a man?

In times of warfare, would you treat an enemy any different if they were female as opposed to male?

If you extend this to the workplace, where woman demand equal rights, and executive warfare involves some pretty ugly scenes, would you make any allowances for a woman?

Why are women more successful in making claims against an employer than men?

in warfare, if the man,woman or even a child points a gun at you there are classified as combatant...it's no to both..

No. Being a woman, I understand that if I were to chose a male dominated career then I should be given no favours. When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do. This ideal, I feel should extend to most areas of everyday life.

That would be silly!

Oh go on them m'am - shoot me! - Duh!

You have but one choice in combat. you kill or be killed. That why when confronted with a kid armed with a rifle, a soldier has but one choice to make, if he wants to continue living. It is hell, but that is what war is all about.

On the battlefield your advesaries are called Targets. Women are capable of inflicting death just as men. Please do not exclude children..... Africa and South America have kids carrying arms and the children don't understand the difference. I don't think you have time to think when a bullet is headed your direction.

If a woman's pointing a gun at me then no. If it's about a bunch of hillbillies murdering civilians then that's a different kettle of fish.

As far as warfare is concerned, during the Vietnam war, when the Vietcong were using children, I remember an interview with an American GI who was asked how he would feel facing a 12 year old child with an Armelight rifle.

He replied that if the child had a rifle, he was not a child anymore but a soldier and treated as such, the same goes for women.

As far as the workplace is concerned, I am for complete equality in all things. If complaints by women are more successful than men, I think it's because the complaint would usually be dealt with by a man.

It's the same with men v women shoplifters, it's a fact that more men are sent to jail than women.

Dead is dead. Makes no difference of gender or age. If they want me dead I'm certainly not going to place a valve on their life.

Only afterwords....I have shot/fired in war when being assaulted (fired upon) and make no distinction when the bullets are flying. Afterwords great regret, remorse, and sounds pathetic, loneliness. Women combatants are treated differently when captured, or should i say, better? We need to stop this because it endangers (soldiers) our lives. I, myself, have never been in a "executive warfare" battle. I do have a hard time processing these two questions together, but here goes...
I like a level playing field, that being said, I would not make any allowances for woman (just who could do the best job), but when meeting was over I would hold the door open for a lady...

In Vietnam I shot men, women and children of all ages. I didn't associate with the locals cause I didn't trust them. The VC had a nasty habit of rigging babies with bombs. If you saw a baby in the road crying but no woman would go near it, it was rigged, best to just shoot from a distance.

No, in a war zone, the only thing you differncitate between is if they have a gun and is shooting at you or not. And no for the other as well.

In military action you cannot differentiate between women and men as there are trained women fighting alongside men in other countries. Kids have even been used to fight against us, even in Viet Nam. You cannot allow yourself to let down at any time unless you want to come home in a steel casket. You are "wired" from the time you arrive in country to the time you leave.

You make a good point. I don't approve of women on the front line for a number of reasons. Men work better with other men in life or death situations. Men are distracted by the presence of women, complications develop from relationships and personal feelings. I also think that it brutalises women, and perverts the very idea of male/female relationships.

I think that in reality allowances are made for women, and that's a problem. One other thing that I forgot to mention above, is that women tend to want the rules changing so that they can compete. This has also happened in the Police Force and the Fire Brigade. Nobody is allowed to speak the truth about this issue anymore, but if you speak to male Police Officers away from work, you find out what they really think.

Nope, if it was a man pointing a gun or a woman. I would take them down in a heartbeat, if i knew it would save my life or the life of my friends.

I would treat them the same, heck woman want equal rights so they deserve equal treatment.

My job in war is to do my job and get myself and fellow servicemen/women back to see our families again. The enemy is the enemy and I will do what I have to to get back home. Killing someone else isn't a glamorous thing no matter the gender of the person, but is sometimes necessary to protect the things we value in life. If women want equal rights in the work place than they will be treated the same.

Not really. I was trained to fire howitzer rounds at people thousands of meters away.

...or failing that, unambiguous black-and-yellow range targets.

No to all of your questions.

Basic answer to a Basic question...

NOPE...If they were trying to Kill me or my people they are Dead...No Discrimination...End of story !!!!

The rest of your posting is asking another different question...
If it was equality the Females want I personally am
all for Equal pay for Equal work and always have been...

Than it is not being equals if allowances are made
because they are Women is it ???

Example: Women wanted Equal right with Males...
So the Social Experiments started...
Women are now in the Military..
We will talk of but one service but the same problem
exists in all Services...

Women are now aboard US Navy Ships...
Doing the same jobs as Men...getting Paid the same...
The Navy enlists those Females that want to "Go Navy"
the Navy spends Thousands training Her and ships
her out...to the Fleet...she gets out on a ship and
doesn't like it...she gets her self pregnant against
the orders of the Navy not to fraternize (No Screwing
abroad Ship) and has herself replaced by a Male
and she is Shipped back to the USA for Discharge...

The Discharge rate is about 60% of Females aboard US Navy Ships...
They get what they want, then say oh its not what I want !!!
Another far Left Bull Dike Liberal agenda that has Failed !!!

You want Equality but with special allowances...
That is not being Equal...

Please I don't need to hear anymore of these mantras...
