[QUOTE=Mort and Charon;42966736]They all made a full recovery. And I don't know what a clean bullet wound is, if it hits your body you're gonna have fucked up organs, if it hits limbs there is a high possibility of very badly broken bones, destroyed muscle tissue and chances of hitting something like the femoral artery. Unless it hits your arse or doesn't actually fully hit you (more like skims past), you're gonna be in serious pain and recovering for a while.
My argument is that if they shouldn't be let in if this happens, if it was a man of the same height would he be let in? Surely he would suffer the same problems?

they pay 140.000 quid for loss of an ear?
Count me in!
The Russians are probably laughing right now at the UK.

Losing a foot or losing an ear results in significantly more payout than losing an entire hand?
Are you fucking kidding me?
You can *easily* get a prosthetic foot and a missing ear just looks weird, losing an entire HAND means you're basically useless in nearly every career path.

[QUOTE=ilikecorn;42967273]Problems like this exist across the pond too. There's a pretty hefty argument going on right now about why a 22 year old male has to run a 13 min. 1.5 miles, whereas a female can run a 20 min 1.5 miles and pass their physical testing with flying colors.[/QUOTE]
It's pretty bullshit especially considering that if they ever get into combat you're relying on those individuals to back you up.
I'd much much rather take the guy who can run 1.5 miles in 13 minutes as my backup in a firefight, that's not sexism he's statistically more useful.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;42967136]The thing is, you're forced to march.
Where as you're not forced to get shot.[/QUOTE]
Marching and getting shot at are both are key aspects of the job?
