Snipers being "limp wristed"? Do you actually read the garbage you spew before you post or are you just a bad troll that thinks misogyny is funny. Yeah, in our natural un-augmented states, women have less overall muscle mass. Given that in most combat cases people aren't massacring each other with melee weapons now or in the eve universe I scarcely see the relevance. I'm not going to say women cant fight but physical strength has everything to do with modern combat, most women would struggle to carry the huge weight of all the crap a soldier has to carry for hour after hour in all sorts of conditions, many men couldn't cope either. Queue the powered battle armor... again...
^^this, and as i tried posting earlier except the damn code error thing.
i said some stuff about the israeli army's troop management a friend told me about.
basically all fropnt line soldiers are men, because women generally have a harder time carrying heavy loads long distances, though ALL their support roles, pilots, artillery, everything is done by the women in the military in order to free as much space on the fornt lines as possible for the male soldiers.
BUT ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, women CAN be in combat, but generally its not in the same operational since as men, throughout history women have served with distinction as marksmen and assassins because of their generally smaller and lighter frame allowing them to maneuver into positions on the battlefield a man could never fit in or reach.
and as far as pilots, a woman generally does better because of their smaller frame allowing them more room to maneuver in the cockpit.
Even considering close range melee combat, men are NOT always at an advantage assuming both parties are properly trained in combat, in direct strength v strngth a man WILL win, but a woman is generally more flexible and able to maneuver around their opponent more, and their smaller limbs allowing more directed and focused attacks into vital centers on a larger opponenets body, so long as the woman is trained in the appropriate form of combat, they can be quite lethal. (this last part i know from personal experience as 7 out of the 10 top students at a martial arts school i hang around are girls, 4 of thema re my friends, and i would be scared SHITLESS to fight them, even if i had a knife.) |
