2	To no surprise, Col. Ellen Haring, on the staff of the U.S. Army War College, says commanders need to downplay obstacle courses (physical strength) and judge a service member’s ability to stay calm and think quickly (emotions) re: qualification for direct combat roles. I'd rather see strong mind and body person rather than weak mind and body people going into the US army. I don't think anyone here would advocate for people of weak mind and body joining the military Obstacle courses are there to make sure you're physically fit cause your not taking a shopping bag overseas but several pounds of heavy equipment. The US army makes sure you can handle heavy loads and watering down requirements is dangerous. To an extent. I think the real point of the article is cen…	/r/MensRights	13/08/13 12:55 AM
-2	To no surprise, Col.

It's not hypocritical if the objection is due to forcing men to do so. Good point, if we're talking about the draft here. Only sensible solution for compulsory service is both men and women or neither. For the same reason men who don't meet those standards don't. I think I get what you're saying here, but I think we risk judging women's ability for combat thru physical fitness like a fish's ability to climb trees.

I'm inclined to at least in part agree with Col. Haring. Being marginally familiar with the armed services, I can comfortably argue that it is more about a soldier's mindset than everything else. Of course there are reasonable expectations for fitness and prior moral conduct, but whether one can adapt to the lifestyle and adopt attention to detail shines above the rest. Trying to speak from an objective standpoint, it seems almost hypocritical for us to decry any lowering of the physical standar…	/r/MensRights	12/08/13 09:18 PM
56	Accused men going on Offense With Title IX “In terms of the scope of the rule, nobody will argue with you that it doesn’t cover maleness, or that men as a class can’t be harmed,” Murphy said. “But the issue is, do they have the same moral claim to be able to use the law in a technical sense?…."

8	According to these comments accusing someone of rape is not nearly as bad as rape Come back to reality bro, being falsely accused of rape is not nearly as bad as rape. I mean we're talking physical violence vs. defamation. Think murder vs. being accused of murder. Personally, I could live with being accused of murder	/r/MensRights	25/05/13 07:27 PM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
