That is not the argument being presented by several on the side of full integration, much less the SJW clowncult. It is the old tired 'repression' 'inequity' blah blah, screw reality or pragmatism. Why is there no movement to better integrate coal mining?
There's no reason why you should expect that in a few decades autonomous pack carrying systems will solve most physical disparity issues. If we get an unforeseen breakthrough in battery tech, there will be a chance. There's a reason why Ironman's suit is centered around a fantasy device.
Well the bottom line is that Tuco is a childish, irrelevant little bitch who needs to start resisting that urge to log back on to the forums.
Right but the point is that the convenient data points change based on desired results. No SJW is arguing for "fair standards" (ie double) in coal mining because it's undesirable work. They military issue they are happy to divorce reality with the problem. The fact is it's not just a gender issue, there are plenty of unqualified males- tall people who can't fit in an MBT or fighter jet, wiry dudes who can't lift twenty pounds for hours, overweight dudes who just aren't able to do the job.
Basically if you lose weight but still look terrible or if you are just a slob in general they can just kick you out.
I don't know that some of these women want to be subjected to a lot of bullshit rules and regulations that they get away with now but would not in an infantry unit.
the answer is the WNBA should not exist, nobody watches their games or even bothers with their championships. can anyone here without having to google it remember who won the WNBA championship this year or any year or can even name the teams who played in it? i understand that the WNBA only still exists because the NBA is propping it up financially. i have read that the WNBA isnt even as good as the worst male college teams, they would probably have a tough time beating a high school male basketball team.
If it's the same engine as in BigDog (I assume that it is), it's a 15 HP go-kart engine.
Yep. The DoD should continue funding ground robotics (and not just because that's how I get fed), but there are some real challenges that won't just be solved without unpredictable advances.
Unit I was at we used to host an international sniper concentration. 20-24 teams on average and teams were generally made of a senior NCO bringing the knowledge and 2-3 juniors looking to soak as much information as they could. 5 years there and only one woman qualified sniper ever showed up. Quite the specimen that one was. Regular infantry is tough enough as it is, being employed as a sniper is quite a different ballgame. Loads are significantly heavier (my rifle alone was 26lbs, not counting the extra food, water and shit (literally, lugging around your own feces in ziploc bags was always a good time), you're on your own and there's a lot less guys with you. Oh geez, someone twist their ankle and you can hear bones crackling under the skin? Tough shit, it's not like the other two guys can take an extra 70lbs each, so walk it out.
Yeah the women snipers in those situations were mostly "defensive" on their own territory so no need to infiltrate into an enemy country behind lines without supply routes.
