Is it Ethically Permissible for Women, Seeking to Become Navy Seals, to be Held to the Same Standards, Rigorous Training, and Conditions as Men?

Navy SEALs is a part of Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) and the maritime component of the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). It’s acronym “SEAL” is derived from the capability to operate at sea, in the air, and on land, but its ability to work underwater makes them unique. How are we to view the potential of women in combat, or in Navy SEALs position, compared to men? A woman’s role and potential are one of the most controversial issues that cause quite a stir for both sides of the debate. The Bible gives us an insight on women and …show more content…
is the Bible. In the book of Genesis, we are introduced to the creation of man and women. We are also introduced to brotherly war in Genesis with the killing of Abel. War is something that we, as humans, have encountered since the beginning of creation. We are told through the book of Revelation that crime, war, and violence will be with us until the return of Jesus Christ. Until we are free of violence and crime war will be an ongoing issue that we face. With war being a constant, our military seeks personal to fill the various roles needed in maintaining an army, or in this case, a crew member of the Navy SEALs. For non-Christians or non-believers, the Bible would not have priority in deciding on the roles of women in the military. For example, the Quran expresses equality for men and women. On the other hand, the Bible states in 1 Corinthians 11:3, “But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” Also, 1 Timothy 3:11 says, "In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything." This verse implies that women are not to be malicious talkers but temperate, non-hostile, and trustworthy in everything. War is defeating and deceiving the enemy. So, does this mean that God does not feel that women should serve …show more content…
I do not necessarily disagree with that thought, but so far, it has not been proven that women can complete the same competencies as men to graduate in the SEALs program. According to an article written by Julie Watson, the only women that have sought a specialized commando job has dropped out. The news of the applicant dismissing herself from SEAL training comes after the Navy SEALs sought to engage in compliance by allowing women to fill some of the most dangerous posts. Watson concludes in her article that 75% of all applicants do not finish the first month of training. As of now, no women have been able to complete training in competing for a special operations position with the Navy SEALs. I feel like it would be an injustice to our military forces to make exemptions or change the standard routine of operations. On the other hand, I as a woman would be thrilled to see the successful completion of training for the sole purpose of having women in this highly regarded position. Unfortunately, I feel we will not see a change in that statistic any time soon. According to an article titled, What Are The Odds of Making It Into The Navy SEALs, written by Ron White, the navy recruits nearly 40,000 yearly with at least half expressing
