    Guys & Gals if you are a current serving member don't have socials with your actual name you can get yourself in harms way with the Brass.
    I look forward to your comments and this is not an echo chamber but at the same time if you carry a pen for a living don't be ignorant on this subject as I stated I have spent 24 years in this lane and cannot point out the actual examples I would love to as evidence to amplify my points without dropping names and real time incidents.
    Thank you for your service in advance in the best small army in the world.

      This is Feminists gone mad.. It's a very physical job where many men who have served in the
      infantry spend there lives in retirement with horrendous injuries.

    Im a chick wanting to join infantry, im training to the mens standard. If I cant cut it by the end of the year, I'll join a non combat role. I want to serve, im not going to be a burden by being unable to keep up. Im a unique case, body produces an abnormal amount of testosterone, im able to keep up but barley. I dont bleed monthly, im infertile etc. If i push myself, i know i can do it, but again; i refuse to drag my team down due to weakness

    I had this convocation with a few ex army females I know. The gist was women where needed in Afghanistan, to the point NZSOF made a unit called NZFET(NZ Female Engagement Team) however if a women can keep up with the men all power to you, move into a combat role, but if you get captured best hope the enemy follow the rules of war. A study conducted by the USMC said fixed combat teams aren't the best. Now as I said if you can keep up full power, come grab this LAW and let's get to work. Some females I know who want to join the army said "I don't want to kill anyone" and I honestly laughed.

    Initial answers; to the corresponding questions.
    Q1 - Yes. In combat, where mission success and the lives of soldiers hinge on each individual’s capability, identical physical performance standards are indispensable. Any deviation risks compromising unit cohesion and operational effectiveness (“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.”, Proverbs 24:10).
    Q1.1 - No. Enforcing equal benchmarks ensures that every soldier is prepared to meet the demands of their role under the most challenging conditions (“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.”, Proverbs 21:31).
    Q2 - No. It is neither fair nor effective to apply different standards for female candidates compared to their male counterparts (“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”, Galatians 3:28). Combat roles necessitate uniform readiness, as lives and mission outcomes depend on consistent performance (“A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.”, Proverbs 11:1). Unequal standards risk undermining military integrity, cohesion, and the trust essential for effective operations (“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.”, Proverbs 21:31).
    Q3 - Yes. Women should be permitted to serve in main combat roles, provided they meet the same standards as their male counterparts, ensuring full readiness for the demands of combat (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”, Luke 6:31). Furthermore, this must be coupled with a steadfast commitment to maintaining military integrity (“The wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.”, Proverbs 14:1). Decisions to place women in combat roles should prioritise operational necessity and unit cohesion, ensuring all personnel, irrespective of gender, contribute equally to mission success (“Let all things be done decently and in order.”, 1 Corinthians 14:40; “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”, Ecclesiastes 4:9).

      Round 2; Q&A

    • @thefreshprince-t4m
      @thefreshprince-t4m Месяц назад

      Q1: Yes. Success in combat, wherein the very lives of soldiers and the mission’s outcome depend upon individual capacity, requires uniformity in physical performance standards. The annals of the Roman Legions bear witness to this necessity: through rigorous discipline and collective training, their soldiers were rendered steadfast, operating in silence as well as executing commands with impeccable precision. Their cohesion exemplified the axiom that strength falters not in the day of adversity, but through preparation finds its surety (Proverbs 24:10). Such parity in standards remains a safeguard against frailty and ensures the unity requisite for triumph.
      Q1.1: No. The insistence upon equal benchmarks ensures that all who serve are tempered to endure the most arduous trials. The Roman Legions, whose renown persists in the echoes of history, demonstrated that unity of readiness fosters trust among comrades and guarantees that no soldier falters when the stakes are highest.
      A Sergeant instructor, versed in the arts of war and hardened by decades of service, has imparted that the dilution of such benchmarks is not merely inequitable but imperils the cohesion vital to survival. Proverbs 21:31 reminds the vigilant: “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.” Thus, steadfast preparation and adherence to equitable standards secure not only the mission but the very lives of those who bear the burden of defence.

    • @thefreshprince-t4m
      @thefreshprince-t4m Месяц назад

      Q2: No. To impose disparate standards upon men and women in combat roles is neither just nor prudent. Combat demands that all who partake therein exhibit equal readiness, for disparities imperil not only the mission but the trust and unity essential to its execution. The disciplined precision of Rome’s Legions underscores this truth, their triumphs borne of shared burden and mutual reliance.
      A Sergeant, whose years of service have endowed profound insight, warns that the compromise of standards dishonours the trust bestowed by soldiers and their families. This principle echoes the wisdom of Proverbs 11:1: “A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.” Equity in preparation strengthens not merely the unit but the moral foundation upon which their cause rests.
      As Ecclesiastes 4:12 teaches, “A threefold cord is not quickly broken,” symbolising the cohesive strength that combat units require. This strength arises from the equal and uncompromised capability of all members. Observations of experienced professionals highlight that while women’s contributions to military operations are invaluable, the physical demands of direct combat may not align universally with individual capacities. This perspective emerges not from exclusion but from respect for the unforgiving realities of the battlefield.
      Fairness in this context also extends to the families of service members, who entrust their loved ones to a military bound by the highest standards of preparedness and integrity. These families deserve the assurance that every soldier, is equally capable of meeting the challenges demanded by their role. Thus logically follows; ideological compromises in standards risk undermining trust and could lead to avoidable loss of life.

    • @thefreshprince-t4m
      @thefreshprince-t4m Месяц назад

      Q3: Yes. Seasoned military professionals, drawing from decades of service, observe that in face-to-face engagements, where strength and endurance are critical, disparities often become apparent. Combat, unforgiving in nature, often unspeakable and unimaginable, demands peak performance under duress, according to expert testimonies; respectively, that grants life. Any compromise of uniform standards risks disrupting unit cohesion and operational effectiveness. This principle aligns with military doctrines spanning centuries, from the Roman Legions to modern forces, which emphasise standardised expectations to foster trust, reliability, and unity among personnel.
      Women may serve in main combat roles, provided they meet the same rigorous physical and operational standards required of their male counterparts. Practical realities concerning physical disparities warrant consideration. As the same sustained-physical exertion required in the most gruelling direct combat positions, must be.
      Thus, while women may excel under the same standards as men, the Sergeant’s insights suggest that the realities of combat often reveal why uniform standards are indispensable. Preserving these standards safeguards fairness, operational success, and, ultimately, the lives of those who serve as well as the families who depend on them. Thus, reflection upon the Sergeant’s insights; honour higher ideals of safety and integrity that uphold the military’s mission as well as legacy-an offer, to give alongside preserve, the gift of life.

    Feels good to sometimes sit down and watch content you disagree with.
    You’re not totally wrong, but you’re making the debate easy for yourself by focusing on just the physical nature of war fighting. That said, I just don’t think the army is interested in building up the same force posture and character that you think it should have.
    The people that have made up that decision are a well meaning, informed and driven collective of professionals. If they think women should have the opportunity of fighting in combat granted to them, then I’d trust that over a random veteran with a camera and an opinion any day.
    Less women may be capable than men to meet the standards required, but that doesn’t negate the ability for a woman to impress those around her and to raise the bar.
    Defending our nation will become a whole-of-nation effort. And that includes every person, regardless of gender, political beliefs or sexual orientation. What makes a good soldier is their values and their ability to apply them under pressure.
    I would not recommend being the kind of person known to spread doubt online about other Australians as we enter into an age of staring down giants. It’s not a good look.

  • @emelyarye2641
    @emelyarye2641 Месяц назад

    I don’t think female soldiers should be in a position where they are likely to engage with the enemy at close range, such as infantry or light armour, but I would find it difficult to exclude females from all “combat” roles. What about as main battle tank crew, attack helicopter pilots, etc, such as is done in Israel, while room clearing and trench fighting is left to men in the infantry. If there are hundreds of roles in the army, I think exclusion from the specific role of “infantry soldier”, including commando and sas units, might be the one fair possibility.
    For the army reserves, any role restriction might be much harder to justify, as units are more likely to be helping with bushfires and disaster relief than be in combat with the enemy. In the extreme event that reserve infantry units were fully called for combat, like in an invasion of Australia’s territory, then at that point we need everyone we can get to fight or train new national servicemen.

      Thanks very much for your comment mate and a well structured angle but working in a Tank crew is extremely demanding and takes a lot of robust toughness same with cavalry cocking the 50 calibre machine guns to working on munitions in a fast dynamic manner, dealing with extreme temperatures in confined environments plus the female brain and male brain operating in high stress is less than optimal seen it first hand on many occasions.
      I don't understand a single angle why women and those that do not understand what they are talking about in regards to job description think that a gender that is not measured against the same standards of their male counterpart in any way should have a seat at the table when there is not a single advantage but many disadvantages to them being there.
      It all seems like it's feeling focused?
      Can you think of a single reason why female soldiers should be serving in combat roles I can't and I am an expert in the field...
      By the way for context none of this comment is said with emotion or ill will it's just a factual rebuttal..

      The difference is I don't think the Soviets decided to lower the standard for females to the point it could prove dangerous for the other soldiers. Also, the best sniper among those Soviet snipers was a man. Plenty of other incredible snipers and warriors in the world who were not female, but rather male.
      I cannot imagine a society that thinks it is okay to send women into such dangerous situations. In fact, I do not even have to imagine it because we are already living it. Women are designed to nurture and care, we are the ones who are designed to take on the brunt of shit so the ladies do not have to.
      I do believe women have a place in the Defence force, just not in combat. And they should be held to the exact same standard as men.

      Women in combat from IDF is very overplayed. The regular combat corps and SOCOMD are male only, and women in combat roles have not seen anywhere as much combat for a valid empirical comparison to be done. In regards to Soviet snipers, I’m sure they did well, but I’m calling bull on the obviously inflated kill count and even if female snipers were getting more kills, kills aren’t everything. How good were they at collecting intel? How much of an impact did their intel have on the war effort? These are important metrics of a sniper’s capability as well.
