Women space marines?

[Demonhero]

It is impossible.
1. Women are weaker than men and therefore cannot carry the large heavy guns and stuff.
2. It is outerspace. A Marine needs to fight in a water environment... and space is not an ocean.
3. Vasquez already killed everything....

But if I was going to make a sweeping statement or generalization I would say that as Rota already posted, Vasquez was the first official woman space marine. She blazed a trail that all others follow.

Boy do I feel dumb. Thanks for pointing out a major flaw in my argument.



Another excellent point. Iraq is basically like Mars.... very little water. So I guess women space DO exist in Iraq....

P.S. Learn to recoginze sarcasm??

Fine, I am sexist and stuff.
Woe is me. I am exposed.



No, it is called "Adult humor is ≠ to teenage humor"
Or, "Person A understanding is < Japanpimp humor"

Either will do.

Thanks Strum for being fair and reasonable.
Strum also told me that some posters took offense at one of my posts.
I want to let posters know that I was being completely sarcastic and humorous and in no way should you take my comment with any weight as the tone of this thread is very light and 100% fictional...

In fact my comments actually poke fun at those who make sweeping statements and generalizations such as the ones I did. My sarcastic comments were actualy meant to point out that such lines of thought are silly.

Often times comedians and people in general make very sarcastic statments to drive home a point or expose something that is silly. What they say is actually the complete opposite of what they really think.
For example, if we were having a debate or discussion about the environment and I said "We should not protect animals because they eat our food." or "Dogs are uglier than cats so lets only protect cats." or "Why don't we just kill all the animals, that way there will be nothing to protect." Not only would those statements be extremely sarcastic and humorous but they would drive home the point that arguments FOR non-protection are silly. So I hope posters now understand where I am coming from.

Regardless of whether or not you were being sarcastic, you are an idiot and should stop posting immediately. Also, japanpimp humor = Not funny.

They wouldn't necessarily need to blend into space, as they would be doing most of their combat aboard other spaceships. I would think a variety of suits could complement them, depending on how the ship interiors are colored.

If we have space ships and high tech weaponry and such, wouldn't it also be likely that the marine armor would have a built in camo unit to change automatically to the terrain? I mean, you wouldn't just have your marines go for a new paint job every mission, would you? Too costly, both for time and money. Or just changing armor? Too time consuming.
