Should Women Be Secret Service Agents?

[Ridstar_Q]

I'm a 5'6" built and military trained male. Fact is, I have no business doing that job when your target of protection is bigger than you.

[jonathanharkins]

You can't protect a 6"3 guy with your 5"4 body, especially if you're ducking & not covering

She's not physically tall enough to body block the man who her job is.. to body block for. She needs to be two feet taller to do her job.

You take the paycheck for years knowing what the responsibility is, but when the time comes you stand around and panic? There's no respect in that.

That last statement about women protecting men at the beginning and end of life is potent.

[tsisko]

protecting and caring are two separate things

[wheeliebin]

Somewhere there's a former MARSOC or SEAL candidate that was passed over in order for this woman to panic, duck for cover and be ineffective at her job..

[snakecharmer]

She couldn't even holster her gun

A 200 lbs man was trapped in a building during a fire and a 104 lbs. 5'6" female firefighter came in to rescue him. Both people died that day...

When shtf, everyone wants men to deal with it.

I like your point. However the women secret service agents all were put in that position due to dei

[darkmatter]

I’ve seen too many cases where women (police, soldiers) are helpless in a dangerous and life threatening situation endangering her colleagues or civilians .

But I have also seen 2 women in my life capable of thinking rationally and fast in a dangerous situation. They earned my respect for that.

So the are still exceptions but I would not bet my life on having the right woman in the right place in the right time.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Thank you for saying it.
Let women and men each do what they do best. Men protect, women care, and both are essential. Trust nature’s wisdom.

[tothepoint]

We don't need equality in these jobs..
Respect merit.

[GlitterME]

I agree. There are certain roles in life women are not cut out for. I am a woman myself I know my own limits. I know what I’m capable of. This type of work-no way.

[poekeyhoitz]

A woman was in charge and said the roof was “too slanty” to put snipers…
When they tackle Trump you can hear a woman clearly scream “what do we do? What do we do?”…
Then there was the holster debacle…

[stevenkott]

Billie Ray, you are 100% correct physical qualifications should not be lowered to allow women to have the job! I know I don't want a firefighter come to save me and tell me I'm to big to handle!!!

[FloridaVolts]

Why don’t famous people have women as security guards 😂😂

[numshinfan]

Having 4'9" women trying to shield a 6'3" Trump is batsh!t crazy and I don't care if it hurts their feelings. If the wnba ain't gonna hire them, why should the secret service?

[BradFess-joto]

Amen! We are built different and we are good at different things! It's not saying one is better than the other, we are simply different! But they can't admit that, because then you can't say people can be whatever they feel like.
