Women – soldiers service in all corps and all types of armed forces.
They work both in command, technical, medical and educational positions as well as as as private soldiers – the military-Polish portal, belonging to the Ministry of National Defence, reported. Women make up almost 21,000 professional soldiers. But the service of women faces opposition from many misogynists – he wrote on the occasion of the late celebrated Polish Army Day Bogusław Mazur on the portal ReportCSR.pl.
How many women are there in the Polish army? And where do they serve?
According to the MON portal, the Polish Armed Forces service a full of over 34 1000 women (data from March this year). Compared to March last year, this is an increase of about 4,000. However, more than 34,000 women – soldiers, including ca.:
- 21 000 professional soldiers;
- 7,5 000 territorial military service;
- 4 000 voluntary essential military service;
- and almost 1.8 1000 active reserve and candidate services.
The largest number of women serves in the Private Corps – about 23,5 thousand, in the Petty Officers' Corps over 6.8 1000 and in the Officers' Corps – over 3.8 1000 women.
They service in command and military types
As we read further on portal Military-Polish.pl, they service in command and military types – in the Land Forces more than 10 thousand, in the WOT about 8.5 thousand, in the Navy more than 900, in the Air Force almost 3 thousand. They besides service in the Military Police (over 300 people) and peculiar Forces – almost 170.
Fighting Men with Women in the Army
The book “No Reduced Tariff. Women in the Army” by Colonel Grzegorz Kaliciak contains memories of women who joined the army. And these are sincere memories. A fewer ladies did not neglect to point out that on the elder side of the rank but besides frequently the age of the officers' masters met them harassed. At least dislike. They besides wrote about organizational problems, specified as uniforming or separate bathrooms.
This negative attitude in the army has changed, but it seems much slower to change the mentality of many men, as seen on social networks. They are filled with contempt, misogynism, the belief that a female is from the kitchen and giving birth to children. The argument is repeated that on the battlefield a female may not be able to carry an injured friend, so the army is unfit. There is besides a repeated argument that if women want equality, then let them have the same conditions and be required of them the same as men. In short, let him rip out boxes of ammunition, wear besides large shoes, and forget about tampons.
The mentality of the alleged so-called alleged trepas
This is the mentality of the alleged "upadity" characteristic of the alleged treps, which rules replace thinking. It is besides the mentality of small boys who want to have the full yard just for themselves to feel truly masculine. so specified entries, specified as the General Staff of the Polish Army, lead misogynists to rage and malicious or even rude remarks. Even with the fact that the buckles are not rather nicely fastened, although this is simply a defilement alternatively than a front situation.
Is the modern army for women?
The modern army is not just about shooting and stabbing injured colleagues or ammunition boxes. It is increasingly mechanized and digital. This means that women in the military do not should be “only” paramedics (although in combat conditions very dangerous service) or officials.
It's a shame even to compose about women in the U.S. Army due to the fact that their service on aircraft carriers or in aviation is widely known. Like the service of Polish women in piloting combat aircraft.
Let us scope for the experience of the modern battlefield. Ukraine for starters
– It is estimated that more than 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers service in combat positions on the front line, and in full more than 70,000 service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The fighters on the front line are about 5 500. Everything is decided not by parities, but by their predispositions for service. They besides service as commanders, frequently having more respect among soldiers than their colleagues commanding in parallel in the same structure," wrote Damian Duda on the X portal.
