The Question: Should women be allowed to fight on the front lines alongside men in combat?

My 2 Cents: I DO NOT believe women should be allowed to fight on the front lines alongside men in combat.

History has shown that women can be more fierce warriors than men when their homes or families are threatened, so it’s not that I don’t believe women CAN’T fight on the front lines alongside men in combat. Women SHOULDN’T fight on the front lines alongside men in combat.

Short and sweet, women are not little men. I’m going to leave it at that, and allow you to ponder (or not) on what that statement means: women are not little men.

Sonny_Rich  nah its real over there I know 1st hand! But hey that’s just my opinion!

iJustJason  of course! They signed up for the same thing. Same training. Same mission. Same destiny

MuataAdebamgbe  no!

DerekIsNormal  Absolutely. Women are just as strong as men (if not stronger).

jigsawverbiage  If they want to, then women should be able to but frankly, I LIKE men’s roles and women’s roles. I have nothing to prove.

MusingMom  If a woman wants to then why not?

Hadji4ever  Of course!

PROTECTED TWEETER Current training indicated that women can fight just as much as men & are in some places. So sure why not? & PAY

shoopeeshoop  wow that one is a hard one for me to add my two cents to..

coffeesassy  Yes if they are qualified mentally and physically.

sunshine625  Heck yeah!!

shiraabel  no. but women should be allowed to fight next to women in combat if they want to fight

ATMMD  something aint right if women are in the front line of combat. What happened to all the men?

Quintessence_T  yes they should…if they feel they are physically able to do it..then by all means–but it should be a choice

aprilgregory  I say no

weblady1  We do it in the workplace, why not the battlefield?

tclarkusa  I hv no prob w/ women on front lines fighting alongside men in combat. Is there a safe place during a war? It is war.

rishaholmes  Yes, women who enlist are equal to their male counterparts, so combat..yes.

atane  I have no problem with women in the frontlines, provided they are as capable as their male counterparts in all areas of combat.

BLKMGK  Yes

PROTECTED TWEETER Hmmm Good one. I guess if they meet certain physical requirements their gender shouldn’t matter. So yes. Allow them in.

crcomrie  man or woman who in their right mind wants to be on the front line?

zard  to clarify: Angry women are far scarier then angry men. possibly better at following orders, too.

womprat99  Are women any less American than men? I have long believed that they should be allowed to.

zard  No, it’s unfair to the men on the other side! :p

ObiOrion  By all means, yes.

PROTECTED TWEETER I know a solider is a solider and women fought for equality…but bottom line we are NOT equal. I say NO

TracyReneeJones  Y the [bleep] not?

md20737  NOPE

walkerdl  In Iraq & Afghanistan, the “front line” constantly has been blurred, so women have been in combat before

walkerdl  Yes

NightShade10  I think they should – most are losing their lives anyway even in non direct combat situations – women are natural soldiers

JoshJoker83  no they should not because of the depravity of the enemy we face. don’t want them getting raped, heads cut off etc.

roaddoggz  My daughter leaves for 2nd tour in Iraq this evening. I’m glad she’s not on the front line fighting but she’s still in danger
