The reason they wear desert camies in training is safety concerns. This doesn't happen just in recruit training this happens in units as well. Where if you are stationed stateside or at a training ground you will wear the opposite color of the season. This way in case anyone is injured or lost they can very quickly be spotted.

[@THE_CDN]

​@@procinctu1 And there it is: two different standards. When I was in the CAF Reserves, they had different standards for females and promoted them far faster than the rest of us. Don't get me wrong; I trained with a few fine female soldiers. But there were also more than a few that knew how to work the system to do less and get more. And those were the ones that I would have never gone into battle with. They were weak and I couldn't trust them.

We are a species with a high degree of sexual dimorphism. Doesn't mean women are worth less in any way. Its just physical differences in strength due to the way we evolved. If we are going to integrate the military, then the rules should be flat, with no consideration for sex whatsoever. You bunk together, you have the same requirements, the same tasks, and the same expectations. If it means that these have to be lowered, then it obviously means that integration is a failure and it was a terrible idea.

On the other hand, as much as I love women and I love my daughters, most of the time in my personal experience, the women were treated with a lot of special privilege. We were all the same MOS but somehow they landed the comfy indoor A/C jobs, rarely went to the field and when we were at the motor pool, well…… yeah.

We want the opportunity and equal right not just be told no.

[@vondantalingting]

@@DavidNefelimSlayer if it's equal outcome, it's equity not equality. Equality meant being sent to the same hell hole with the same opportunity as the next guy. If you have a horse, a fish, and a monkey climb a tree one would be standing upright, another dead on the ground and a certain someone sleeping on the highest branch. If you want those two on the top then you give the fish a breather and an exo and the horse a crane to carry him on the top, the monkey gets none he was evolved to climb anyway. That's an equal outcome but not an equal opportunity. Both managed to get on the top through augmentation while the monkey gets none but evolution, it's called equity by then.

And you don't have the time, energy, and resources to maintain a luxury like long hair. In the field you barely have enough time to eat and you rarely have time to get enough sleep. If you have long hair in the field then you need to maintain it by brushing it and "fixing" it so it works with helmets and MOPP gear... that's time you just don't have. You shave it off so you can focus on the task at hand. To be honest, going days and even weeks without showering or bathing makes you feel just plain gross. Having hair on your head just adds to that.

[@gazbleu3440]

Did my basics in 94 and the 15 females we had all failed. The instructor made sure the best were graduating. One female made it to the field where we were carrying her stuff and sometimes even her. Once the instructors saw we were a good team, they told us no more helping her. During runs, we were literally running circles around her. She was very strong mentally but physically not on par with us. On the other hand, in the course before us, a woman was a beast! She could carry a 200 pounds man on her shoulders just like any man there. I would have gone to combat with that woman. She is/was the exception, not the standard. Today, the instructors go out of their ways to make women pass… thats sad.

[@commanderwaddles3483]

Really is sad. That second woman you mentioned should be the standard for women serving. Plenty of other places for the women that would be liabilities there. It's okay for plans not to work out. We don't need to bend our needs & expectations so somebody's plans & dreams can be fulfilled...

[@therealprinceofnigeria]

Most reasonable people understand the issue isn't black and white but they are overshadowed by a loud group of people who want to feel included in every aspect of the world aside from reality. The fucked thing is that we will all be paying for this down the line - coming from somebody who knows they have no business serving on any battlefield. Any exception made during training is a failure to prepare these people for a significantly more unpleasant reality on the field. If they can't hack the training then everyone around them is being put at unreasonable risk, in a job that is already unreasonable. War has never made an exception for anyone's delusions of virtue.

@@ryucartel351 - Re: "Friend of mine served as combat medic in Afghanistan, told me he lost count of women DROPPING injured dudes trying to move them!!!! What the FUCK!" Back in the 1980s when women first started entering the military in large numbers in non-traditional roles, the Army immediately began encountering women who could not keep up with their male peers on various soldierly tasks, such as throwing a grenade successfully or doing a fireman's carry of a wounded buddy to safety. Well, duh! What did the armed forces think was going to happen? Reality is going to keep on being reality, regardless of what the feminists and some bought-and-paid politicians and generals may think. Instead of admitting their mistake openly and honestly, and dealing with the issue on that basis, the armed forces swept the data under the rug, lied and obfuscated about it, and pencil-whipped the results so that women scored as well as men. They also altered the tests - and eliminated some entirely - in order make boot camp/basic training more-female friendly. Instead of having throw a live grenade overhand at a more-distant target, the grenade toss was now over a low wall and could be performed underhanded. That way, the embarrassing fact that most female recruits could not throw a standard fragmentary grenade far-enough to escape its blast cone - would not be on-display in public. Instead of having to carry a wounded comrade by herself, it was allowed for teams of women to move the casualty. Last but not least, the crowning achievement of Big Green was what they term "gender-norming," which is nothing more than a military-specific variation on the handicapping system used in golf. Women were given a separate and much less-difficult set of performance standards to meet in PT and elsewhere, which was bad-enough, but then they were awarded points equivalent to or greater than men, even though males had to meet higher and tougher standards in the first place. "Gender-norming" allows the services to lie to the public with a straight face that women are measuring up to the same standards as the men. It's all a giant falsehood and has been for decades now. Forty years ago, when this nonsense was taking hold, the generals and admirals in command of our armed forces should have taken a stand to prevent the dilution of standards, if necessary by resigning en-mass. That would have forced a re-examination of the issue and maybe things would have been turned around. But the perfumed princes didn't do that. Instead, they turned their backs on their oaths, their respective services, the people under their command (male and female alike), and their country, the one they swore to defend. A very ugly and now-dangerous picture. Well, if we can't beat the communist Chinese in a straight-up fight, maybe they'll laugh themselves to death instead at how utterly idiotic we have become!

I am a retired Marine. I went in back in 1968 and got out in 1970. Spent my high senior trip in Vietnam. Myself personally think the Marine Corps has evolved into a lot softer than when I was in. It still has its strong points but there are many I don't see as good ideals. I think if Vietnam were to happen today a lot of guys would not be able to handle it and I know for a good fact the females would definitely would have no want to go there. Given it was in the mid 100's with the temps during the day and if lucky it got down to the 80's at night. Humidity was between 85-90 percent every day. Not once in a while for a couple of days but each and every day. The coolest I remember was during the monsoon season it was a high of 70 degrees with a low down into the 50's. It was cool enough that I shivered at night. When I went in we had to learn how to carry back a wounded brother along with all of his gear, his weapon and still be able to use our weapon if needed to be fired. Though we had suppressing fire from others but we needed to use ours if necessary. Not saying that there is not any women who could do that but they are far and few in between. Guys still need to be as tough as nails but there seems to be a lot more whining with them. Then again I am from what the young Marines call the old Corps and I find that funny since when I was in the WWII Marines were considered to be the old Corps. These are just opinions of an old crusty Marine. USMC Vietnam 69-70
