    Default Another Military Question

    Let's say all the nations agreed to have their militaries include only women. This would include CinC all the way down.

    Would there be any wars? If yes, how would war be different?

    Yeah, I can just picture that:

    Lower Slobovia diplomat: "What's wrong?" Are you mad at us?"
    Upper Slobovia diplomat: "Nothings wrong...hmph."
    Lower Slobovia diplomat: "ok"
    Upper Slobovia diplomat: *cuts off all diplomatic ties and nukes Lower Slobovia capitol city*
    East Heckawee leader: "Upper Slobovia is such a bitch. We are never talking to them ever again."
    West Heckawee leader: "Who cares. I have chocolate."
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    They'd spend TRILLIONS making kitchens all over the world so the armies would have a place to deploy-to.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Seriously, I can't imagine. Anyone who's been a woman or interacted with more than a few have learned the definition of vicious as well as many more positive ones.

    Men and women are different, individuals of each rise or fall on their own merits.

    I can imagine me taking on a company of Marines with a toothpick being preferable to pissing off one woman. Vicious is kind of an understatement, don't ya think? When momma ain't happy, NOBODY is happy.

    For 3-5 plus 5-6 previous days. Totally for for 11 days for four weeks. I think this risk is not affordable.

    If seriously, do ask a question to you - 'Why there is NO joint chess championships where men and women equally compete all together' I DO NOT want to offend anybody. We are NOT worse or better. We are just different.

    Agreed, we are just different. And if we had joint chess championships, there would be a lot of zugzwang.

    The problems lay in a different planes - the Nature.
    A man ALWAYS is trying to find a way out when driving a car in a critical situation under the terms and conditions of a deficit of time, no matter good or bad the way out be. The women are used to close their eyes, cry and let the wheel and pedals free.

    Another point - Those who have had an experience to work in the women's team say it is akin to Serpentarium. When women only start fighting for something important for them they too often loose the brains and limits. So, their appearance and external peacefulness are very deceptive.
