I wondered where you'd been. Had hoped you were banged up but turns out you've been working as the new editor for Jane's Defence Weekly
You never know mate. Things can change so quickly. I sincerely hope that none of the current generation get called up, as we'd be totally ****ed.
Weird that there isn't a huge recruitment drive for women to do the dirty jobs like bin man. Not much call for Dynorod to hold all female short lists for sewage pump operatives. It's sexist that they don't get Premier league manager jobs though of course.
Right now the same people in the UK who are pushing for women in boardrooms and the SAS, but not, as you mention, construction, sewage maintenance and so on, also claim there is no biological difference between men and women, and that all white males are privileged, sexist and racist. Even the Tennis, Wimbledon.. men play 5 sets, play much better tennis, and bring in far more people, women play 3 sets, play lesser quality tennis and bring in less viewers, yet women are paid the same as men. I mean for ****'s sake, they even got this iconic image removed from Wimbledon please log in to view this image Feminism is cancer, and male feminists are shifty manipulative sneaky ****ing freaks, as proven by almost all those accused of sexual assault being self professed male feminists. Hungary was right to ban gender studies in public uni, and the UK should do the same You have women with no interest in STEM, who go into Gender studies, and come out after 4 years crying about not enough women in STEM because of "muh sexism" A good feminist is a dead feminist
I will say, the British Army/Navy have not had competent leaders since Napoleon's defeat Most of the operations were either pointless or pathetic during WWI and WWII. Good men and boys led by ****ing idiots of "better lineage". From Churchill's second front WWI gibberish and disasterous Naval Ops during WWII, operation Market Garden, Africa (before US might and supplies and German wear down from lack of supplies) and the calamitous defence of Greece, and pointless pacific war ops (though the British did help the right wing massacre the left wing after the war in Greece) So this is no surprise. I also see they investigated a bunch of cadets for merely being photographed with Tommy Robinson with one lad thrown out. Seizing their phones ect. Political correctness is more important now than actually being an effective force. The British military is not fit for any war, it's a ****ing joke. If the Russian threat was real, Putin would be in London in a month if he didnt care about losses, 6 months if he did care about losses What would they do, scream at the enemy calling them sexist? That's about the meat of it.
It was the Muslim council of Britain that complained about the cadets taking selfies with Tommy Robinson. The same Muslim council of Britain that called British serviceman legitimate targets if they attempt to intercept arms being smuggled into Gaza . https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/mar/25/muslim-council-britain-hazel-blears
Even if all of your bollocks was true, adding women to the Australian army improved it immeasurably - without them you lost a war facing emus https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/in-1932-australia-declared-war-on-emus-and-lost
If you believe all of the ****e that you have written then you are buggered then - the only reason why you lot down under have any might is because Britain still watches over the colonies.
And you're gonna fight the war on the politics threads? Oops just reading Brb has finally binned it..Mind last night it had some decent conversation..So something must have happened today. Anyhow, i'm against frontline women soldiers full stop. Nevermind them being in the special forces.
Ok - back on topic. Personally I'm for it - why should they get special treatment and treated like delicate little flowers that need to be protected? Only thing would be that we do not lower the requirements and keep having the best of the best - which we do for the fire service and the like already.
I’m about as likely to go to war as you are to find a cure for cancer on the same day you sling one up Ariana Grande’s arse. Hence me not making comments along the lines of “If I am to go fight a war” like Sisu.
OK mate it was a cheap pop.. Just people who seem to be for this move, really have little concept of war. Imagine if a servicewoman is captured. Now 10X that if she is found to be Special Forces.
Presumably they’re having an issue recruiting enough people. Half the adverts I see seem to be recruitment drives for the army/navy. Like most people are saying, as long as the entry requirements aren’t relaxed, you aren’t reducing the quality of people. That’s how I see it.
You do realise it's for the SAS and SBS? Although there is practically zero chance of any woman getting in the latter. It's not for an engineer position on a ship.
You think that women have no use in war? Quite a few countries has women fighting on the front lines - what is it about British women that make them inferior to them?
Yes. I’m assuming the recruitment issue is still there though too. So if there’s virtually no chance, anyone who does has to be exceptional and if they’re that exceptional, is anyone going to care if they have a cock or not?
It's not a recruitment issue though is it. It's a way to be a more PC force. Most of the SAS are long served member of the Paras and other regiments..The SBS contains only people from the Marines..Now if some bird rocks up, questions will be asked by the blokes who have to look out for her.
