Why are there so many women in North Korea's military?
375703
Military service is required of everyone but certain party members in North Korea.  It is in this way the indoctrinate the people to their oppressive system.  Many women will stay for the reason many men do; life in the military is so much better than as a civilian.

Well maybe by the time you are old enough to join they will begin to see things differently. It's been just recently that women were allowed to serve in combat capacity at all. I know we have pushed for equal rights and in alot of ways we have gotten them. It does sometimes take a little time to change the way people think. Men are told to NEVER hit a woman. I personally think you should never hit anyone. But that is not the way that it has been for years. Men fight women are the gatherers. As much as we would like change does not come over night. It you continue to push for change if enough women want to become special forces than surely a day will come that it will be so. Many countries have women who serve in the same capacity as men. Hang in there never give up. If you give up you aren't special forces material anyway.

They need protection, more women aren't as strong as men.

I wouldn't say most women.  It's like a lot of things--some do, some don't.

Its not right for the women to have to "wait" for you to come home a year or more later. And dont tell me that none of you "soldiers" ever cheat while deployed. Its a two way street, its not juz the women.

Many people already stated the obvious, that being the physical differences between a male and female.  You must also take into account that Special Forces rely heavily on each other as a team.  Anytime you have a team, and add someone that isnt similar to them into their group (i.e. a female joining a group of males), the team is no longer as cohesive as it once was.  In combat, teamwork allows the mission to be completed.  A failure of mission can be fatal to more than just those involved.  Until American society changes to the point where male/female seperation no longer occurs, do not expect the Military to have females serve on the frontlines (with Special Forces or in the Combat Arms).

YES.  There are plenty of females on the "green side" They are not sent to the "front lines", but are stationed in all the Marine Corps bases, and work with us out in Iraq as well.  I hope you aren't afraid to be stationed with us though.  You get to laugh at us and all our strict regulations, and follow Navy Policy instead.  We'll tease you, and you'll make fun of us.  Everyone knows that you are in a different branch of service and won't hold you to standards you didn't agree to.

it depends on what military. not all countries allow women to join.

It is because there is a glass ceiling.  Women can't get high-powered jobs as easily, so they are stuck in the low-level ones.

I'm guessing here... but I have to go with the number of enlisted (both officers and enlisted personnel) females. Pretty smart eh?

Because they're women. We need them more than they need us. It's a seller's market.

Too many women. That's the reason.\n3 women for one man on this planet.

Of course, no. The only reason women are alowd to participate is to appease feminists and because of technology. With technology, women are able to fight grown men from a distance. However, in close combat the woman is greatly disadvantaged.\n\nAlso, women have greater dangers than men. Men are killed and/or tortured. However, women tend to be preserved for sexual pleasure and torment.\n\nIn addition, women's emotions are too unstable. In war, one has to be all but a robot. One has to be stone-like. Women have too much compasion and pity, (which is an advantage for certain problems, but not for war). Pare these with a woman in her cycle and their could be confusion and chaos.\n\nPlus, women distract men. One weakness of even the toughest men, (in fact, more common in the more masculine men) is a tender eye for women. Men can see another man shot and keep moving. However, a women being shot will easilly distract a man. In war, men cannot have distractions. War is about survival, not politics and feminism. We need our men to do the job without hinderense or distraction.\n\nA woman's availability is to uncertain. With time, many men and women want to start a family. However, by God ordained nature, the woman's body is deticated to child bearing durring pregnancy and post pregnancy. The fate of a nation can not rely on an unreliable military.\n\nLastly, a nation that sends all her citizens to the battlefield has no one to defend the home. If both men and women are battling, who is protecting the children and homeland? Throughout history, men fought in the field, and women "held the fort down". Such a stradegy is safest, wisest, and most logical.

women on the frontlines should be as a last resort. It is very difficult for many men to concentrate when women are around and our "protect the woman" program runs in our brain, which could cause some fatal errors in judgement and this is not the womens fault, it is just human nature.Support roles are very important because a current army can not win for very long without the support troops.

Because they do it better. They can miltitask and take more pride in what they do. if the world was ruled by women, there would be no more wars.

Magic 8-ball says:\n\nThe odds are against it.\n\nPeople are assigned to commands based on command need and specialties. Say a ship needs a mechanic, the computer draws up a list of names, and whomever is at the top, gets shipped that way.\n\nSince there are a greater number of men in the service, the sheer odds of having a female name pop up for every position is near enough to nil that you can just say zero.\n\nI can say this: there will never be one female assigned to a combat oriented submarine!
