I got out ~8 years ago and was telling everyone near me to never touch the military if you were a physically capable male then. You will work longer, harder, and get lower evals simply because you’re competent. This reality is finally showing in recruiting and retention numbers, so much like how they created the problem, the military is now doubling down on incompetence. I can’t even imagine how shitty it is in any rating/mos that requires physical activity if the command is even 1/3 female.
The US military has been investing in incompetence since Kara Hultgreen - a pilot who would have been failed if she was male was encouraged to keep going until she crashed her plane while landing .
Her male copilot had his finger on the eject button the entire time he flew with her, otherwise he wouldn't have made it out during the fatal crash.
Netflix pitch :
KARA - her jealous white male copilot deliberately sabotaged her flight because he couldn’t cope with a strong woman pilot.
Don’t give them ideas
I thought this might be a joke but wow
I would say nothing of value was lost, but those planes are expensive, and Klemish probably needed quite a bit of after ejection care.
Guy had 0.4 seconds between life and death and hit the button just in time for him only. Act of God.
Every single female fighter pilot would not be in even the top 100 candidates for her spot.
That is, if she can do it well enough, then 99 men can do it better. Not to say that she might be a bad pilot or a danger; she just wasn't selected by merit.
Not only that, I'd love to see the stats on how many of the female fighter jocks leave to have a baby and never come back. Fighter pilot is massively training intensive profession. Every hours in the cockpit of a fighter jet costs tens of thousands of dollars. For her to pack up and leave at 27 because she wants a family robs the military of almost all of the return from that training.
This problem isn't unique to fighter jocks. It is also a problem with engineers, surgeons, specialist doctors etc. For a company just looking for return on investment on training and development, the more training a job requires the dumber it is to put that money into a young woman.
Perhaps at least as important is that these high training, high profile careers at the expense of a family are not making women happy. Many career women who sacrificed a family in their 20s (which is forever if we are honest) deeply regret their choices at 40 or 50.
if you're a smart business owner who has to hire women because your company got too big, hire the 40 to 50 year old women the other companies trained but left the work force to have kids 🤣
I also heard of all the cases of women getting pregnant right before deployment, giving them time off for maternity leave. I also heard of how many of them then promptly get abortions, but continue abusing the time off.
Of all those female fighter pilots that have been trained, I'd be curious to know what percentage actually faced real combat.
The most stunning part of the Hultgreen affair is that the Navy took someone who had washed out of fighter school and then failed to carrier qualify... and then put them in an A model Tomcat on a carrier.
Oh, and the problem that killed her? Part of the flight operations manual that you have to be able to write word for word from memory. She had repeatedly failed to be able to recall it during spot exams.
Is that the one who died while crashing into the water?
Yes. I wonder how long before they completely whitewash her death.
LMAO yep.
Hey chucklefucks: what about when the F-14A Tomcat is on the back side of the power curve with gear and flaps hanging out while on approach to land on the carrier? You slithering commie fucks.
Yup, a retired F-14 pilot did a video on it a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFUXshaaMQM
Her ejection speared her head first into the waves. She didn't survive.
FTFY
Granted I was in the Air Force but when I was in the still didn’t allow women in combat. I know that is no longer true. The son of this couple at my church who joined the Air Force told me it’s definitely as bad as what you hear
Exactly. It's super simple:
If you're not selecting for competence, then you're selecting for not competence.
What do you call a female soldier in a war zone? Ammo pickups.
Edgier answer: Free stress relief.
Expecting.
Might be an improvement - we lose to unarmed third world citizens in 10 years instead of 20?
But It costs you $2 trillion instead of $1 trillion because every female soldier gets pregnant each time she is called up.
A man getting into a car accident? Court-martialed for destruction of US property.
A wahman deliberately getting preggers to avoid deployment? Nah, it'll be fine.
TOCroaches lol. There's nothing like military lexicon
I'll say this is spot on, and active duty isn't any better.
Why isn't consenting to an intrauterine device a mandatory requirement for recruiting women? There are some IUDs that can be put in for 10 years. Put in on enlistment, replace if necessary, then remove upon leaving.
"the army can't tell me what to do with muh body" even though that's pretty much what the army does. Never heard this subject come up, but 100% that would be the objection. Also, "you're hurting families."
I reiterate: Getting injured in a car accident or literally shooting yourself in the foot is considered destruction of US property if you're a male grunt.
Why do you hate women, you misogyncel? My body, my choice!
In the 1980's and before, they discharged women involuntarily if they got pregnant.
We are only getting dumber each day.
Yeah, things will get real interesting when war breaks out and everyone scheduled for deployment "suddenly" gets pregnant.
I got assigned to a ship for a 4 month “humanitarian” deployment in between actual deployments and 7 women from that ship alone intentionally got pregnant to avoid 4 months in Oceania. I went out and got drunk and made friends in every port, made lifelong friends with some of the other enlisted and NCOs, and worked out. That was apparently too difficult for those women.
You know it'd be cheaper and less cruel to send hookers than have female soldiers be sent into a war zone.
I just really don't want to waste good equipment, especially since the UK now have a non shit main military rifle.
But no child support when they get knocked up.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
It's no longer bullpup and is closer to what the US uses.
My bad Hillary reference didn't land, but I meant more the comparison in your first sentence.
Ah ok, my bad too as I was more focused on the new useful rifles than the useless female soldiers to catch that lol.
usually when you start getting women in the army it's a sign that something is terribly wrong.
Muh shield-maidens, muh female samurai.
looks like #draftourdaughters is back on the menu boys
I had no idea the English have become a sandwich service for the rest of the world.
Get ready for the White Tampon campaign, boys.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLollloll
Most females aren't interested
The only way this works is if they recruit women to breed babies.
Ita weird.. all the developed countries have population issues. But they spend billions on rapefugees instead of billions on their own people to encourage breeding. Maybe you dont have to pay taxes if you have any children under 18.
Also why I'm happy with women cops. Ammo pickups.
Loot crates with tits.
And why it's a good idea to use the same round your opponent is using.
