Women to lead Indian Army Units

[spectribution]

Did I say anything against that?

No.

What you said is generally true.

But my point went into another direction. My original point was that if a woman has the physical strength, endurance and the willpower to complete the 1 mile run in a good time, manages to do 10 pull ups, the balance test and the 9 ft ditch she is able to perform combat duties, from a physical point of view. The people who made those requirements did not come up with them without any thought. (This are the Indian Army requirements, which are indeed quite low and actually do not emphasis much upper body strength, but my point can be transferred to any other armies PT test as well.)

Whether men and women who passed all the requirements can achieve the same training goals using the same training program, rest ratio, nutrition etc etc in a specific time frame does not really matter in the military. They are not professional athletes or competitive bodybuilders.

Less than 1% of women are that fit. And that is minimum requirement. Most men exceed that limit. Army will always take whats best, not weaklings.

NOTE : KEEP LIBERAL FEMINISTS AND SOCIALISTS OUT OF DECISION MAKING THEY WILL RUIN THE ARMED FORCES AND THE ECONOMY.

This is not a welcome move. Why are women so desperate to show That they can do what men can do?

Do you see men insisting to wear sari, bindi, bangles, and being able to bear kids?

This is ridiculous and feminist.

Thank god IA is sensible and allows upto only colonel rank for small time units.

So @levina do you ladies think that you're up for the task ?

Ofcourse they are capable of commanding any unit.Though this decision would effect mostly engineers and signal regiments.
But seriously some men and their male ego wont let 'em accept a lady CO so easily.

If I were a soldier on the other side how in heaven's name could I shoot at a lady officer of the Indian Army without loosing my honor ?

Lolzz
When in uniform, its hard to differentiate a man from a woman. One of lady officer I knew was perpetually mistaken for a bachelor officer coz of her cropped hairstyle like this one in the pic.

@levina let me do the honors.......................

@Tshering22 You are a MALE CHAUVINIST ***

 

[Makaramarma]

In a testosterone filled environment like the army with their isolated barrack life, this is a sure recipe for disaster.

I wish they would take some effort to remove the NDA caste system in the Defence forces.

@Tshering22 read the OP once more.
Morons here dont know that Indian army allows women only in units which are not directly involved in combat like the signal regiments and ASC.
And women are completely capable of commanding such units.
So whats the big deal??

@OrionHunter i might need ur help here.

It is ok If they can pull up the physical standards same as that of male officers.But there is some doubt about it.

And talking about risk.We know what happened to our Capt Saurav Kalia and his team.And they were not some SF working on behind the enemy lines.They were regular soldiers that conducted normal patrolling procedures inside our territory.Yet we know what happened to them .
And what would be the consequences if that was a female commanding officer?
Similar risks is also still existing in our area.
We should consider our enemies hostage treatment.
Protesting,passing comments about equality in media AC room is too easy.
But war is a reality.And we cant expect any type of honour from our opponents.

Can you prove any of those two points which I highlighted???

PS: Anyone who has an active lifestyle and works out regularly can pass those requirements easily, because they are too low.

If somebody passes the requirements, you cannot say that they are unfit! Those requirements were in the end made by the military.

AND THE ECONOMY.

How and why on earth should women be kept out of the economy?

Or should they be kept in the kitchen according to you?
