Women soldiers in active combat/frontline duties. How right? Or wrong...

Utter stupidity of our govt to allow women as combat pilots. Women in combat is fraught will all kinds of needless dangers & compromises. And in haste our nationalist govt has decided to make combat pilots out of the current batch of women trainees for other aircrafts. This govt is needlessly trying to build some image for itself on all fronts. No women should be allowed in combat/frontlines at any cost. And please! No useless comparisons with Israel. At the least count we've a minimum of 5 crores of combat quality male youth.

Compromise in combat standards for soldiers and dangers of women being taken PoW/hostage are biggest suicidal drawbacks of this gender equality brouhaha about military. It's politically correct,even fashionable to promote male female equality at all conceivable places but military is where it should be desisted from. The two things I've highlighted are the biggest concerns out of many and these cannot be wished away. Even in Israel females do not cover frontlines and are kept away from active combat duty. The Peshmarga Kurd women fighters we see are good propaganda at best. females being battle prepared is another thing but having females in regular combat formations is different. In exceptional circumstances we cannot ever deny our females to finish off the enemy with or else it would be suicidal folly. Remember! None of the eventually victorious armies(invading, expeditionary or defensive) have been constituted of or led by females in last 150 years ie modern and contemporary times anywhere in world in any war of significance.

And yes, none could argue against our goddesses and female warriors but if discerning people would have noticed we never had any dedicated combatised female warriors' unit, we actually had exceptional individual females commanding the men under most exceptional situations. Females should be used regularly employed in all wings of military except frontline combat and mass recruitment/deployment must be avoided. the shortage of officers in military is an artificial crisis. Also there's a myth being successfully disseminated and entrenched that youth(male) of India are not keen to join military thus creating a severe crunch in officer cadres in all the three wings of military. This is an exact mirror image of the malicious myth that medical doctors do not want to join rural/govt services when the truth is diametrically opposite. In reality there's no dearth of applicants but the anglicised generations of existing seculib officers dismiss them in interviews for want of OLQ ie "officer like qualities" (translated to brown sahibs) and every year hundreds of seats are kept vacant. Plz Google it.

And one has to go through the links below: this debate about women in combat duties is not new and has nothing to do with anyone's personal faith/religion eg mine being Hindu. This is pure & simple biology, warfare & realism. No political correctness or pleasantries about gender equality will win us battles and wars. Even in the US this year 19 female soldiers failed their Rangers course and only two passed it after being granted three attempts with compromised standards still the two who were "successful" were awarded only citations plus badges but no active combat duty as US has not decided to review ban on women in combat. And this review will not be suddenly decided by the executive but after much debate in legislature unlike what has happened in our Endia to score brownie points.
