females in combat

Matrix · Post by **Matrix** » Sat 09 Apr, 2005 10:51 pm

I watched a program called "Fighting the war" and i saw a lady holding a rifle and patroling iraq streets ( not sure if she was a marine or regular army )any ways i thought that females were not allowed to go to combat or even carry a weapon while on duty??

Well she wouldnt be a marine then! Women do serve in combat arenas but not front line, and they do get to carry rifles. Iraq now is peacekeeping so not classed as over the breach and stick them with the sharp end!

They can serve in a combat arena, but cant serve in a front line unit. Can be attached to a front line unit as medic/translator/driver/sigs/etc etc.

This is a can of worms so I wont post again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However not so long ago Max Factor DID produce cam cream, it went on lovely but was an absolute bitch to remove unless you used the MF make up removal pads!

As in NI female members of the glorious Corps Of Royal Military Police do bimble about carrying gats as im sure other females do in other corps and as said in a previous post this is because it's a peace keeping role only.
I don't know who should be more scared the enamy or us lol
Saying that some of the best RMP CP Operatives i have worked with have been female most of which could get a better grouping than my good self
