    Well, if they're planning to draft women, they'll have a lot more voluntary applicants to all branches of women trying to avoid becoming infantry grunts and eventually they're going to have too many women qualified to work on submarines (where quite frankly, the brute force of the infantry is completely unwarranted and being able to fit in small places is a plus) and they'll need to make these changes.

    Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the changes were made more generally to accommodate smaller crew, male or female. Being large is not a real benefit on a sub.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Not a bad idea. I'm surprised I don't see some of the people who complain about military spending say anything about this.

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was the Left that has made Women embrace the fact they are somehow Victims in every facet of society. Sounds condescending and disrespectful to me.

    Just go the Starship Troopers Route. Everyone showers together!

    Thats quite obvious. There are two groups of political fanatics that dont value woman at all.

    Islamists who want to put burquas onto woman.

    and

    Right wing fanatics, who want to put back woman behind stoves with deep plunging necklines and sexy outfits at work. Housewives and not career.

    Both do not support sexual autonomy for females.

    There is of course a physical difference between women and men and if they are going to be serving on the same ship/sub/boat, then they do need privacy quarters to accommodate them. As long as the combat readiness of the vessel is not compromised, I am all for it.

    You didn't say right wing fanatics though. You just said right wing.

    Oh I see what you're saying.. you think that's all a submarine does is carry personnel of other branches! You know what? I'm fine with you continuing to think that. This is how I want to remember you. Forever.

    So, slow it is. Unless of course you're saying the Navy is only comprised of submarines.

    Sorry. I meant typical breitbart or /pol/ parrots. Not sure if they see themself as fanatics.

    The typical angry white man who thinks everyone with different religion or skin color wants to touch his biotope.

    But isn't it left-wing people that applaud the Burqa these days and say its super feminist?

    They have height restrictions. I cant fly a plane because im to genetically superior and im tall.
