    What a coincidence that the same people who want white Westerners to not have children are the same people trying to make white women serve as combat soldiers in the military. No women, no babies, right guys?

    Not all women even in a draft situation would serve in combat since women tend to graduate high school, have additional education and might have other issues you likely have single and generally fit women serving but should be proportional to their numbers in the country and they would more likely not see direct combat. A woman drafted with a degree in nursing or psychology or some other field likely will do that if there is a need. But without special skills a fit High School drop out might see infantry combat since they don't bring other skills to the table. The same for men. Its a matter of they have you, we are fighting in big war so you go where needed and they will assume a percentage will die its simple math for them if its a man or a woman really won't matter if enemies die more than the American soldier.

    A social engineered army will prove a failure in the long run. The army MUST be autocratic to be efficient and safe for the combatants.

    Women (as a generality, there are many exceptions) should not be allowed to vote, or serve in the army. They do not have the aggressiveness or skills to do whats best for the nation in either. Sexual harassment laws prove they cannot compete on a level playing field.

    Even more troubling considering that most western leaders don't have children. I'm french, and as a french, we tend to not look at the private life of our politician. Some people in the US says we glorify their cheating, that's false, we just don't care.
    But considering that politician are products of our societies, and a lot of western countries ended to elect childless people, I think it says a lot about our society.
    Nowoday european society is a cult to sterility and death. And there is a huge difference between having few children to avoid overpopulation and to have no children.

    My way to read history is to consider that some kind of cultures appears because they're adapted to their environment, not only natural but too technological.

    Until the 19th century, all jobs were physical jobs, women were much more often pregnant, and pregnancy is a harsh trial for a body. Considering that, it was logical, that men who are naturally stronger and can't get pregnant had to assume different jobs than women.
    Our society were too warriorish, and the one who had power were the one able to do war.

    By the way technological progress break that, and men or women don't have specific abilities to work on computers.
    Even if apparently, men tend to prefer much more often technical jobs than women.

    Programmers, despite not requiring extra strength are mostly men.

    Traditionally American women voluntarily serving in the military, primarily in WWII did not have combat roles. They were relegated to non-combat roles of Support and Logistic jobs such as Medical, Supply, Mess (cooking), Secretarial, Communications, Transportation and in some cases flying planes. Certainly some did die doing their jobs. However, combat roles for women were never intended until the 1990's.
    Surely we can do what other countries like Russia, China and others do by using women in combat roles. You have to ask yourself if this is ethical and correct.

    Are there some women who can handle combat? Almost certainly. I noticed one thing about all those women carrying rifles, there wasn't back pack amongst them. The rifles easy. It only ways about 8-9lbs fully loaded. If you only weigh about 120 that extra 80 to 90 lbs of kit you have to carry is going to wear you down in a hurry. And then cause you back problems on a permanent basis.
