Female soldiers?
Were there any females soldiers in D day? i didn't see any in this movie.
shareReally? This place is closing down in less than two weeks and you want to make idiotic posts like this?
Why is it a stupid question? why should we be the only tough ones? this sexism and machismo really pisses me off, i'm a timid male and just because of that i'm not seen as a real man by some, they see me as a sissy, when are people going to understand that men and women are the same?
by the way why is this place closing down?

Not in the initial assault. Once the beach was secured, some nurses may have landed with medical units later in the day. Nurses were the only females permitted near the front lines and they stayed in relatively safe hospitals some distance from the forward edge of battle.
when are people going to understand
Not in 1944, that's for sure.
that men and women are the same?
They aren't really. Few women have the upper body strength to serve in an infantry section alongside men. Note, though, that many armies today have eliminated gender based restrictions on trades within their armies. It rather turns out that very few women want to apply for training and those who do have higher washout rates.

But, we need wage equality!!! Women should be paid the same as men, even though the women aren't doing the same strenuous/dangerous jobs as men! share

Society determines the difference between men and women. Even though in modern times those lines are becoming more and more blurry, it still stands that society wants clear masculine and feminine division. Its quite natural and its human.
That being said, men and women are not the same and they never will be. They are not physically the same, men and women have different organs and overall physiology. Men and women are also mentally and instinctually different as well. That does not mean that there is no place for women in the military, nor does it exclude them from the war zone or from direct combat. This idea that men and women are the same is a total fantasy.
The ability of women to serve in the military is not merely a matter of proving physical capability. Society must change. And it is changing but not to the point that there is no difference between the masculine and the feminine. In 1944, the era this movie occurs in, society was not only unable it was incapable of even fathoming women in the military other than in medical or administrative roles. Don't blame the movie, don't blame the military, blame society.
You cannot change the military without changing society. While you have your Cape on preaching for gender equality, have a look at our enemies and how they handle business. The issue of captured or killed female soldiers is a morale booster for the enemy, and a morale killer for the homefront.

Not as many as one might think from th4e publicity they got. In regular Red Army bservice, teher were a few snipers and a small number of pilots. ONly about three percent of the Red Army were women, moslty in medical units. After the war, they were returned to traditional female roles.
shareWhy is it a stupid question?
Because you obviously don't know history. If you'd even have gotten a "C" you'd know women in combat back then was rare.
this sexism and machismo really pisses me off,
So you feel the need to lash out at stuff which happened 70 years ago?
i'm a timid male
I'm not surprised.
when are people going to understand that men and women are the same?
When everyone becomes as stupid as you.
Men's bodies are designed for carrying loads for work purposes. Women's bodies are designed for carrying babies. That isn't sexist - that is the fact of nature.
Neither sex is better than the other, but they are different. share
Yes, men are generally physically stronger and bigger but i'm not talking about physical diferences, of course our bodies different, we have a penis and they have a vagina but i'm talking about being mentally, emotionally and spiritually strong.
Not all men are mentally strong, i'm the proof of it, i can't ask girls out because i'm shy so why the pressure of taking the first step on the guys? it should be equal
