Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles?

Yes as long as enough training is done, to prevent the man from risking mission success to save the woman's life. But really women should be able to fight the same as men.

Women who have served in combat are 135 times more likely to suffer from PTSD

They should make women only combat teams and men only combat teams as they perform much better and almost equally in their performance

No-one should participate in combat roles, the army should be abolished.

Yes but abolish the offensive wing and operations of the military, have the military be defensive only

yes, but in separate units from men for it has been shown that combat performance drops with mixed units.

abolish the military.

Yes, but include more equitable roles for women rather than matching roles.

Yes after studies are done to assess whether effectiveness is not compromised

I am against the idea of combat roles

No, combat roles place women in a high risk situation

No, the military should focus on non combat operations

No one should have to serve in the military, Our government shouldn't be involved with war

Yes, the military should not prevent the best people of any sex/gender from serving in combat roles.

Yes, although I don’t agree with the armed forces.

Only If they want to and can pass the tests for the relevant role they want to take up and provide them with support for reducing the risk of sexual assault

It should be up to the individuals

Yes, but only if they are held up to the same standered and same test standards

if they are skilled enough

The military industrial complex should be deconstructed.

Yes, Preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory, but I do not support the military

Women should be at home

Modern warfare is not fought with a sword and shield and the modern warfighter engages in conflict through strategy, tactical protocols and gear enhancement which is designed to ensure a specific theater/combat domain advantage.
Once social prejudice is eliminated and when the warfighter is placed in a role and with a complimentary team suitable for his/her/their distinct abilities, talents and skills, problems like sexual assault, machoism and very specific fitness (as distinct from health), disappears.
The future of modern warfare will be determined by fine tolerances, situational awareness, unmanned delivery systems and technologically enhanced performance.
The presence of diverse frontline combatants results in the direct advancement of capability, adaptability and strategic advantage.

Yes, as long as the correct precautions have been taken to safeguard them.

yes as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men and we don't lower the standards just to get more women in

Yes, as long as they pass the appropriate training and physical tests. Gender should not be an issue.

No one should be serving in military combat roles

Get rid of military

As an ex servicewoman, I fully support women in combat roles.... there are all kinds of combat roles where women could be a benefit

No military roles for anyone

I believe it should be a military assessed role and that of the military community

Yes, as long as they pass the same physical, psychological and physiological tests as their male compatriots—alongside that differentiations in biology do, to some degree/in some cases, impact field ability; alongside accessing varying jobs within the army which attest to said differences and aid the overall units. Furthermore, gender identity within various cultural fields could also impact upon the treatment of female soldiers, however, due to the socialisation process alongside underlying anthropological factors, may be a credit to the team at hand; possibly creating more humanitarian, calmer situations and outcomes.

The British Military should be abolished.

Yes, if it's within a female regiment.

Yes, but all military physical tests should be upgraded so there is no gender-based difference

Yes but there should be more preventative measures to ensure they are not exploited or assaulted by male comrades

Yes, but ideally in separate combat units, to stop the risk of men risking the success of a mission and to prevent sexual assault and sexism that is prevalent in the military

Yes, if they pass the physical tests but ingrained sexism and misogyny needs to be addressed within the armed forces

A mix. Women aren’t as physically capable and they have a higher risk of being sexual assault victims.

Yes as long as they pass their physical tests, but being mindful of the differences between men and women, there should be exercises that can be built up but maintaining a particular level of physicality.

Yes, and it should commission an independent review into its equipment and training practices to ensure these provide the same level of accessibility and safety for men and women

I believe combat roles and military service are against humanity. It is time we learn to solve international issues peacefully and through open dialogue, if we want to keep calling ourselves an evolved species.

No. Adding the opposite sex in to a combat zone could be a distraction.

Yes, as long as they are included in their abilities

Yes, providing they can pass the physical tests required to serve.

Yes, but in a role that is favourable to their fitness which might preclude them from frontline combat

Modern warfare is shooting and not melee combat.

i dont even support the military

Demilitarise
