PUTTING WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES IS WRONG

 

The decision to put women in the armed forces was based on an agenda, not need. When the US government started putting women in the armed forces, warrioresses did jobs previously handled by civilian employees of the armed forces and the difference was the uniforms. Even today, the truth about women in the military is kept under wraps because disclosure of the whole truth could incite public outcry against putting women in the armed forces.

Consider:

• The enormous cost of accommodating women makes it impractical to put women in the armed forces. (Pregnancies, hygiene issues, physical limitations, etc.) For example, military personnel getting sick, injured, or wounded is inevitable but is a gender-neutral problem, but the enormous cost of transporting pregnant warrioresses from combat zones or hardship tours to the States or from ship to shore every year is not a gender-neutral problem.

• Putting women in the armed forces produces a situation in which warrioresses can and do use false accusations and the threat of accusations to gain unfair advantages and special rights, especially since the mere accusation of harassment, discrimination, or assault by a female can be a career breaker for a male regardless of facts or lack of hard evidence. (Although affirmative action has enabled some military personnel to get away with crimes involving racial difference. Further research is encouraged.)

• Even if they are capable and able-bodied, the inevitable sexual tensions and sexual relationships between members of a military unit or organization have a devastating impact on discipline, morale, cohesion, and effectiveness.

I am hoping this post will encourage you to do further research on your own, even if for no other reason than to prove me wrong.
