Grand Army of the Republic: A Star Wars Plan Quest

This is mostly to help with future genetics problems. If we slow their aging after maturing then chances of clones having families or just children increases drastically. And that is millions of identical genetic fathers contributing to the gene pool. Having half of them being female will reduce that problem just due to limited female fertility period. The Mandalorian culture of adopting children will also help lower the future impact on the gene pool.
Honestly this combined with work on slowed aging might make our geneticists realize that the identical genetics could be a problem and decide to introduce some variation. A question like "How easy would it be to design a bio-weapon to just take out the clone army?".
 
I mean we all saw how bad the Biological weapons are. I give the Clone Wars credit. Because they treated it as a big threat.
 
I'm gonna let this Tumblr thread speak for my opinions on people who think having women soldiers in the GAR is gonna be an issue:

So this is important. Let me tell you a story.

All the time I spend debating about women in combat, I've picked up on a trend that disturbs me. Supporting or attacking, people are quick to draw on biology, psychology, law, but very rarely - almost never - do I hear about the history of women in combat, and the evidence their service lends to this debate.

Hundreds of thousands of women faced combat in WW2, and on both sides, and on all fronts, and it is a history that has been almost completely erased from contemporary awareness. I have been given arguments about how women can not psychologically handle combat. And about how women in mixed-gender combat units will automatically disrupt group cohesion - the brotherhood, if you will. Both of these assertions are erasure.

Women have not lived in a protective bubble untouched by combat for all of history. Women have been killed, wounded, and captured in combat, and tortured after. We are not living a world where these are hypothetical situations women have yet to prove they can handle. Unfortunately, they have, they can, in the future, they probably will, again and again. Soviet women served as partisans, snipers, tank drivers, fighter pilots, bombers. And more.

Both British and American women served in mixed-gender AA units. I could drag you through several examples of British women performing exemplarily despite being wounded, or seeing their comrades die. The Luftwaffe did not discriminate. Between the British and the Americans, it was determined that mixed gender units actually performed much better than all male units, because of teamwork. Because women are better and certain tasks, men are better at certain tasks, and at other tasks they are comparably efficient, and in a team, hopefully, in combat, you let the best do what they are best at. For the most part, they were proud to serve together.

German propaganda never commented on the British AA units, but they thoroughly smeared the Soviet fighting woman - flitenweiber. People often argue with me that women are a threat to group cohesion because men naturally give women preferential treatment. Which certainly explains why men are more likely to survive shipwrecks. And history shows us that Germans soldiers had no chivalrous compunction when it came to shooting captured Soviet women who were armed.

We're fed a history of war that almost exclusively features white male figures, most of whom fit into this destructive constructed myth of the soldier that is somehow both chivalrous and charmingly womanizing and who's sense of brotherhood is unshakably dependent on the band being all man. There is no history of woman at war, none. I hear a lot about how women have no upper body strength, I hear nothing about the Front-Line Female Comrade.

Check out he full thread, it's a fascinating look at a part of WW2 that I don't see mentioned very often (or at all).

Also, given that Mandalorians don't have any issue with women being part of their armies, I'm gonna call any complaining I hear about this as I see it: sexist bullshit.

There's already plenty of women Mandalorian warriors. To divide them amongst branches is a bit pointless. If it's a part of the training, just give them the option to go into the branch of their choice, or just train batches equally.

The USSR rolled with female soldiers in WW2 without issue. With much more primitive tech.

We can do better.

Jango on Female Soldiers
  • Informational
    • On the issue on women soldiers, Jango's stance is to generally either ignore or beat up the di'kut who thinks that a woman can't fight just as well as a man as the circumstances dictate. As a Mandalorian who has fought alongside plenty of female Mandalorian warriors in the past, he has no patience for anyone who thinks the Mandalorian girls he will be raising and training to fight won't be as good as their brothers.
     
  • Informational
    • For anyone who thinks Mando girls are bad at war...

    ...hmmm. Let me speed dial Sabine, Bo-Katan and Ursa. They would love to hear your explanations in person, guys. :drevil:
     
    Isn't this going to make Clone socialization worse? Most members of the opposite sex they know are their siblings?
     
    That's not really worse, just different. And there's not really anything we can do about it on the scale we're talking about, besides making sure a good many of the instructors are women.

    I ain't no coward. Let's be egalitarian about our army of child soldiers.

    Generally men are more fit than women physically

    But this are clones gene designed to have maximum performance,so for them they are genetically designed to pretty much have top performance regardless of gender because gene optimization

    Jango will be very unhappy. He was protective enough of his son, what happens when his daughters are getting lusted after?

    Papa Wolf!Jango protecting his daughters' from evil droids and pervy fools... By teaching them how to destroy the former and castrate the latter.

    Sounds Mandalorian enough for me.
