US Military Law?

Ok so I'm not an American, but all the hullaballoo about Osama and everything got me looking at stuff. Apparently women aren't allowed to be in special operations or SEALs and I have this big beef with it. It's been annoying me for awhile as I find it completely ridiculous, and it's even more ridiculous that so many people are all for it.

I know I'm not a citizen of the country so I have no say in trying to change this, but I can complain about it just as much as I can complain about slavery in the Middle-East or something. o.o; I'm not trying to act like a "femi-nazi" or anything, and I'd like to know what other people think about the issue. So I wrote out this big list of all my jumbled thoughts and I really wanted to post it somewhere so here goes:

-Only the women that can perform to the exact same standards as men should get in.

-Should not ban women based on solely her gender. There is no logical reason for this; do men have penis wars or something?

-The military fights for "rights and freedom" but women don't have the freedom to try out for the best team that fights for what they believe in?

-Women can take birth control to stop their periods for long periods of time, which would fix hygiene issues (no pregnancy as well)! I also think it's reasonable for it to be mandatory that military women take birth control.

-They do not need special doctors, facilities, etc; why can't they hire a doctor who's skilled with both male and female anatomy? Women can easily use the same washrooms as men; it's only as big a deal as people make it out to be (soldiers must endure tons of mental hardship, so really, how difficult is it for them to deal with this?). This goes with all other social problems associated. I think human rights outweigh the cost of having to deal with these social problems.

-Asian men have a low chance of building the muscle capacity to succeed; why are they still allowed to try out and women are not?

-Social conditions need to change so that women aren't forced to believe they'll always be weaker. They're only as weak as they're taught to be. Inspire them to try their best--biologically, most women will never make it, but they can try and at least feel the success in that.

-Women could be an asset--fitting into small spaces, using their lesser weight to their advantage as they can be supported by less, causing the opponent to let their guard down, etc. Maybe there's something that only a woman can do that could be useful for a mission? I read that women's skeletons are more prone to breakage than men's, but maybe there's a few special ladies out there that are super tough? The major thing is that I'm against sweeping generalizations against an entire group of people.

-If it costs a lot of resources to train/recruit women, couldn't we apply the same logic to so many other areas where women participate? Namely the workplace. We eventually realized women are a valuable asset to the workforce. I think that if a woman is somehow able to meet the standards, she should be able to be in the special forces. Don't ban based on gender, ban based on ability. This is the same crap women had to deal with for medical school, etc.

-I hear about this "bro" group morale thing soldiers have going on--I honestly don't see why women can't be a part of it. They can be just as cool and chill, even about sex talk, drinking etc. It's seriously not that difficult to keep your head straight around the opposite gender.

-You guys say that race doesn't matter when you're all out there fighting together in the midst battle; why can't gender be a non-issue as well? We're all human.

-Of course men and women are different biologically, but what is so so terrible about trying to change how we perceive each other/interact? Humans are always evolving, just like animals, and it's not like our natures are set in stone forever. That silly argument about men screwing up the mission to save the woman? Stop hiring crappy soldiers like that. A good male soldier knows what to do and treats a female soldier with respect because she's there for the exact same reason he is. This is an iffy thing, as I understand it, because I know we don't want completely heartless soldiers as well.

-I'm A-OK if not a single woman ever makes it, as long as she is not banned from it due to her gender, nor harassed, treated like crap, or driven away from it socially.

-I also think the selective services should be scrapped, or at least made to include women.

Sorry for all the ramblings, I just really wanted to get my thoughts out there and if you all think I'm retarded, oh well. v.v

Oh, and personally, I'm pathetically weak and would never survive any sort of military, but it's the principle that matters!
