Good for her, ever consider the fact that he was a p*ssy? Or that she was just a better wrestler than he was? Did he weigh 250 pounds and then did she put him on her back and run him out of the gym while 20 muj guys were spraying rounds at her?Quote:

Women aren't allowed in combat arms in any service. Because women aren't allowed in such roles doesn't mean they will never see combat, the possibility is certainly there.Quote:

False, the only reason people say that is because of pregnancy, when delivering a child massive amounts of hormones and endorphins kick in allowing them to handle the pain.
I have known people that have done research papers in different views on the subject. This is something that can be endlessly debated. Needless to say, I am just passing along info I have heard from having a mom as a physical therapist. Obviously not my area of expertise.
The reasons why are irrelevant, congress and the pentagon have seen it fit not to allow women in combat arms jobs, they did this because its what they believe is the best interest of the military.
Also, FET does not equal infantry, that little myth is pretty far off. They are not an offensive combat force, if they were they wouldnt need to be attached to an infantry unit..

I know girls that will put half you guys on your ass lol. This is no exaggeration. I dont mean just fighting but actual technique. i'll get some vids if they let me.
I'm going to hell because women release endorphins that allow them to cope with the incredible pain of giving birth?Quote:

For the record, I never said I wanted be an 0311. The issue was with this guy who said all women, regardless of MOS, got their rank on their knees and backs. I don't just mean the issue of women in combat (which they already ARE), I mean the issue of us being in, period. And yes there are some women who could kick some male ass.
Wanted to add, there is a guy in my pool who is shorter and lighter than me, and he is going to be a Grunt. Why is he allowed despite his size? He is like 5'4" and 130 lb. probably.
That's just the way it is, females can't carry a heavy rucksack and their buddy and their heavy rucksack because they got shot can't cant walk.Quote:
