  • I agree that any soldier must meet the demands of “war”. And in any field unit I was ever in (Norwegian Army) you did not share equally in squad/unit tasks. I was above average strong and could carry the MG3 or the Carl Gustav for a longer period than a less strong solider on long marches.

    Then again some units like special forces who have a high demand on physical skills might benefit from also having female operators attached for missions that demand a female. Let’s say when operating in cultures where male-female interactions are very socially regulated.

    I agree that weapon system technicians on F35 might not need the same level of physical prowess of foot recon soldiers operating deep behind enemy lines.










  • I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn’t want to dirty my bed clothes I’m case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter “in the common rooms” as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.

    Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.
