Women In Front Line Combat Roles

[scothunter 12,609]

all very well saying do what needs to be done.however in reality i think it would be different.a lot of soldiers would leave i reckon if faced with women soldiers,not to mention the high rate of sucides that would concur.

 

think soldiers now faced with pts had problems,wait till they have to kill women

another point you may need to consider in having women in front line.is the effects it has on a soldier faced with a women in a combat situation.those russian women soldiers i mentioned.they faced the wehrmacht on the russian front.and the germans at first didnt know how to react.until they came under fire,and the officer gave the order to fire.even after 60 year when interviewed you could see that it still haunted him.

 

I believe the Taliban and others make good use of that fact to. Using women and children as shields and even soldiers. Can you imagine the psycological impact having to clear an area with bayonets and coming up against an armed kid or woman?

 

You know that's a bleedin' horrible thought.

 

you do what has to be done .

 

Man woman kid oap the enemy is the enemy if you think about it and hesitate you would be dead .........

In africa and the middle east.

Of course you would, you'd have too. but killing a woman or a child is just something else.

Thats what seperates the likes of you and me to professional soldiers in my opinion.............we should all know our limitations i know i will stand toe to toe with any man and do whatever it took to win with no reverse gear..........but i couldnt shoot someone,i couldnt purposely kill any human being im just not mentally hard enough...............but that rare quality is what these lads are being paid for and its a hell of a responsibility.

[TUFFTY 1,484]

An infantry solider is highly trained to kill

No matter what

you either shoot,hand to hand or anyway possible

Its kill or be killed.

Yes its a responsibility but that what you are trained to do.

 

Its the job.

I could never kill women and kids I don't think? Maybe that would be different in extreme circumstances like our lads find themselves in over in war zones, but the thought of it makes me cringe.

I think even a hardened soldier would struggle a little pscologically after running a woman or child through with cold steel. They're trained to respond to threats violently but that shit is still gonna burn itself into their conscience. You would do what you had to and what you had been trained to do, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal and forgotten about.

[TUFFTY 1,484]

Its not just about killing

 

you are psychologically and mentally trained and prepared for things like this.

 

and yes it does affect alot of soliders after

 

there are many many soliders mentally scared

and its only recently that you can get help.

 

Im not to good with words but socks can explain things better than i can.

I wonder how many people commenting on this thread have seen a human being with their head opened up by gunfire?

 

It's not like a Hollywood film, all neat and tidy with a quality soundtrack

 

It's brutal and ugly and raw, it would make you feel sick to see it on a farmyard animal never mind a women or a child or any human being for that matter.

Yes you do what you have to do to survive but let's not brush it off like its nothing.

it stays with you forever WILF

yes you are trained for it but

I was medically discharged as i couldnt handle it.

but as i say i am no good with words but you get my jist.

[scothunter 12,609]

exactly wilf. stalin and hitlers death squads either turned alcholics or blew thier f*****g brains out after there wee jaunts round the ukraine

[Born Hunter 17,832]

The thread's took a different spin now, but that's the point I was trying to make WILF. I appreciate that British troops are trained to respond effectively no matter what they are faced with and that training would get them through hell, but facing women and adolescents in battle would surely have a psycologically deteriorating effect on troops? What do I know....... just trying to understand.
