In today's military, what men are "non vol'd" to join the infantry? I never said that anyone would ruin the infantry. This was my original comment: My point on the forcing is that some people have commented in the past that if it is opened up, then you're going to get women that don't want to be infantry at infantry AIT and "ruining" it or some weird shit.

And you are IN the Army? It happens ALL the time... Score and 18 (or 16) on the ASVAB? Really REALLY want to join the Army? 11Bravo... Female? Hmmm, I think you can drive a truck (might be a medical job available with scores that low too-can't remember). The point is that it happens to males ALL THE TIME... but for some reason you think it would be wrong to have females who can't get a decent score on the ASVAB to have the same thing happen to them.

Did I say they should get preferential treatment when choosing a job? Where did I say that because now I'm confused? All I see in my comment you replied to is that they should open combat MOSs to women. I didn't say that women would flock to them. Just that those would be another option IF they qualify. Aso if someone gets a 16 on their ASVAB - male or female - I don't think they're getting in. They are returning to standards again with all the budget cuts and having to get rid of people. I guess I should've clarified more of "I don't like the idea of this." That was a bit vague. No we shouldn't get preferential treatment on choosing a job but we don't get preferential treatment on choosing a job now anyway.

You said they shouldn't be forced into infantry. For males with the same scores, that is their only "choice." Why should someone have more choices just because they are female? Ummmthey have always HAD standards, they just kept lowering them to get more people qualified... And yeah, a 16 was good enough. To hell you don't, if you bomb the ASVAB, you can join the Army and not be an 11B, a dude gets the exact same score=11B.
