Why Should Women Go Into Hand-To-Hand Combat Essay

Many people today believe that women should go into combat and everything will be fine. Well, that is not true. If a woman goes into hand-to-hand combat, she will create many problems for her team, which results to her team losing the battle. If you think women should not go into hand-to-hand combat, read on and find out why.

Women should not go into hand-to-hand combat because of all that heavy protective gear weighing their bodies down. The protective gear is extremely heavy and is not the kind of gear a woman should wear. The protective gear is made for men who have upper body strength and is able to carry it on their backs across the battlefield. If a woman tried to sprint across the battlefield with all of that extremely heavy gear latched onto her back, she wouldn’t make it. Women also have a lower aerobic capacity than men. Just imagine if women had to run with heavy gear on and was extremely exhausted from running. Only one or two women can do that, but most women cannot. Men on the other hand have a much higher aerobic capacity than women. Men can run without getting exhausted easily and they have enough strength to carry all of the heavy gear on their backs. The better the soldiers are, the higher chance the team has of winning.

The military only has training created for men and men only. If women wanted to

join the military, they would have to push themselves harder to pass the training. Women would most likely not pass the test even if they tried their hardest to pass it. More men will pass than women because the training test was made for men, and not women. If a woman works hard enough, then they will pass. There are also some men who would actually risk their own lives to save the women on their team, which could result in less and less men during a battle and if more men keep on doing this, the military would have more women than men.
Women are much less reliable than men.

In today’s society, people choose men over women for hand-to-hand combat. If a woman is wounded, a man would most likely help her out instead of fight. Women can be a distraction during battles. Men would most likely save the woman than themselves because men have the urge to help out a weaker teammate. If the teammate was another man, the man would just go on with his business than help out his wounded teammate. See, if a man saw his dead teammate, he would ignore him. If a man saw a dead woman on the battlefield, he would rush over and try to help her out instead of helping out his other teammates

battle.
Others say that women should go into hand-to-hand combat because women can do anything men can and women are no different than men, but that is not true. Women can be a huge distraction during a battle and could slow the team down. Men could lose their own lives just because a woman is wounded or injured and we need more men than women in our society because men are much stronger and can last longer in a battle than a woman.
Women are nothing like men. Women do not have the same strength as men. Women do not have the same mind as men and they would definitely not pass a test to become a soldier to fight for their country because women do not have enough potential to become a soldier. A woman slows her team down and lets down her team. This is why women should not go into hand-to-hand combat.
