Women in the Combat Arms: The Greatest Disaster in US Military History
US Defense Watch ^ | June 4, 2016 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 06/04/2016 8:10:27 PM PDT by pboyington

Operation You Go Girl is destined to fail; failure defined not as a NO GO, or an F, but as the nation’s young women flown home in flag draped Glad Bags when the nation loses the next war(s). When this happens, the Hollywood producers, the feminists and the cultural Marxists who were responsible for forcing the nation’s women to experience the horrors of ground combat will scratch their heads and wonder why reality is so much different from their imaginary ideas of women in combat.

Think about this: US defense policy is now being run on a fantasy propagated by Hollywood, feminists and cultural Marxists.

Hollywood created the fantasy of the rough and tough, hard charging female cop. On any given night, on any given network, you can watch an anorexic 95 pound model, turned NYPD detective brandish a pistol larger than her waist and proceed to karate chop and cuff and stuff a myriad of male heavyweight thugs with the imaginary aplomb of Chuck Norris on all night POW camp raid.

Goodbye Popeye Doyle…

Unfortunately, real war is much different than a Demi Moore movie. A battlefield is not gender neutral. On a battlefield the roughest, toughest sons of bitches win the fight. What remains of the losers are picked at by ravens or fade away like dust in the wind.

Unfortunately, the Pentagon, the White House and Congress are no longer living in reality.

Simply put, the authorization in December 2015 to allow women to serve in the combat arms (infantry, armor, cavalry, artillery) and special operations forces (SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, Delta Force, Marine Raiders) of the US armed forces is the greatest disaster in US military history.

The defenders of this insanity will say that women have been in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan so what’s the big deal? Returning fire when your convoy is attacked or defending yourself during a military police security operation is different than being in a unit with the sole mission of killing the enemy and seizing and holding ground. It’s like comparing peddling a beach cruiser to racing in the Tour de France.

The social engineers will cry that the standards will remain the same. Horse dung and hay: the standards were already warped so that the three females could graduate from Ranger School. They had months of special training, nutritionists, endless chances to repeat the course, etc. Ninety-nine percent of the women in the world simply cannot meet the male physical standards of the combat arms and special operations units. No amount of estrogen charged You Go Girl battle cries, or Universal Studios light and magic shows can stop reality. Reality says a million times over that women simply don’t have the physical strength, aerobic lung capacity or aggressiveness to withstand life in the combat arms and special operations. They are also more prone to stress fractures and other injuries.

Has anyone in the Pentagon wondered why they’re authorizing women for ground combat duty, yet the PGA won’t allow women to play with Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson in any tournament. Why, because women don’t have the physical strength to hit a golf ball as far as men, that’s why.

So, the Masters is out for women, but the Green Berets are in. Are you kidding me?

Either there will be double standards or the standards will be made gender neutral and so weak that the fat ladies driving around Walmart in two horsepower electric carts will become Navy SEALs.

Another factor dooming Operation You Girl is the emotional issues surrounding young men and women living together in garrison and more importantly, in the field.

The military says that good leadership will put a damper on human sex drive. Newsflash social engineers, no amount of ROTC Leadership 101 is going to stop an 18 year old with an erection in a movement to contact with a 36-24-36 cheerleader, Private Babs Horny. Get a grip; the Army and the Marines are about to become nothing more than a high school summer camp with guns and high explosives.

You have to wonder if the social engineers who are throwing a wrecking ball into the US military have any knowledge at all about combat, the military and war itself. People like Obama, Joe Biden, Ash Carter, Ray Mabus, Eric Fanning and the rest of the military’s executioners should study battles like The Wilderness, Verdun, Tarawa, Peleliu, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Normandy, the Bulge, Khe Sanh and Tet. Think modern war can be won by diversity and technology; just ask the Marines who fought at Fallujah, or the soldiers from the Big Red One in Desert Storm who got into hand to hand fighting with the Republican Guard during the Battle of Norfolk, on the night of 26 February 1991.

War is about one thing; killing the enemy before he can kill you. It has nothing to do with equal opportunity, diversity, LGBT rights, transgender expression and ludicrous fantasies emanating from Professor Birkenstock’s women’s studies class.

Call me a cynic, but I think the subject is such a third rail in American politics that even a PC bashing behemoth like Trump won’t touch the issue. If elected, Trump would rebuild the military, but I don’t believe he has the knowledge nor will he have any generals with the stones to tell him to amend this debacle. If Trump utilizes the same school of Pentagon jellyfish trolling the hallways of the E-Ring, it’s game, set and match bad guys.

And, of course if Madame Secretary is elected it really is End Times, not only for the military, but for the nation itself.

Nope, it will take a colossal military disaster for this fiasco to end once and for all. Colossal military disaster defined as Putin’s Boys leaving the wreckage of the New US Army on the Ukrainian steppes; M1 tanks, red high heels and breast milk coolers. Or, the Chinese leaving a trail of tampons, mascara, lipstick and dead coed Marines throughout the tiny atolls of the South China Sea.

The true victims of this impending disaster are America’s young women in uniform. Well over ninety percent of women in the US military want nothing to do with ground combat, the combat arms and special operations. They are happy serving their country in the hundreds and hundreds of different jobs open to them. They know more than anyone what they are physically capable of doing in the military. It is a small minority of self-serving women in the military and leftist civilians who are pushing this nightmare agenda down the throat of the military.

The US military is on a collision course to defeat, disaster and perhaps complete destruction in war. The forced integration of women in the combat arms is not a civil rights victory, but rather the single greatest disaster in US military history.

The left wing must destroy what remains of the traditional western or traditional Christian home structure and environment. There are still too many young women who remain home, and want to remain home, because of their training, and be housewives and mothers.

For example, we have a nineteen year old daughter, married, expecting her second child. her and her husband's family plan is to have a large family. My daughter has three brothers and three sisters, and her husband is one of sixteen(!) children. They intend to home school their children, build a family-based enterprise, etc.

The left wing in America would like nothing more than to disrupt the plans of families just like these. It does not fit the communist model; it does not fit the radical feminist (also communist) model; it does not fit the population control model.

Force women OUT of their homes. That is part of the plan of the left.

Forced military service - or, "alternative form" of public service for conscientious objectors - will be used in an attempt to force families to give up their Biblical Christian convictions with regard to family and child-rearing.

Biblicist Christianity itself is under attack here, and it is quite deliberate. Planned out.

“Because of the born in instinctual mindset of males to protect the female, “

That isn’t the problem. The real destructive force is the born in instinctual mindset of females to better their position by batting their eyes, flirting, and serving up the sex.
They will bet preferential treatment from senior NCOs and officers, always get the plum assignment, miss out on burning shitters and 4am firewatch. When things get close to looking like a bad deployment is coming up, they will work morning noon and night to get impregnated so the unit will deploy understrength on day 1.

That’s the main threat.
Unit cohesion is shredded.

And you were also very correct. And in your point, our finest sons with the highest morals get killed in the process.

Welcome abroad Pboy, usdefensewatch is fubar.

If you don’t figure women can slug it out with the best of us, then you haven’t really challenged a woman yet. Go to the mall, pick out the littlest gal toten a rug rat, snatch the kid... prepare to die. Americans are the roughest, toughest bitches & sons of bitches on the planet.

Are you joking, or are you seriously suggesting that American women are physically superior to, say, Russian men?

Millions of Americans are soft, lazy, pathetic losers. But even the toughest woman isn't fit for combat.

That’s cute in the movies. Reality, is Jessica Lynch in the fetal position in the backseat of A Humvee in a firefight. Reality is the mother watching her kid in the gorilla cage and not immediately jumping in to do anything she could.
Reality is the little girl in the mall might fight, but she cant fight as good as the father.

“I’m a lot more flexible than the average man. I have great fine motor control. My disease resistance is a bit higher, and some of my senses (particularly smell) are better, because I am female.”

Good. It’s your turn to carry the mortar baseplate. The objective is 15 miles that-a-way. Try to keep up. /s

The real objective of women-in-combat is to make the US Military combat ineffective. To so decrease the chance that we would not lose a war against a determined enemy that we would not risk fighting it.

I agree completely. I am sad for everyone that will suffer and die as a result of this madness. I feel similarly for all the unwilling Europeans forced to basically submit to the invading hordes.

Very correct. Women in the military do not seem to understand hierarchal institutions and the chain of command. For the most part they all seek special advantage through who they know. That is the way they are hardwired, to seek out a male protector.

One problem I see is the girl who goes in a 3 to 5 looks wise. Prior to going the military they have never gotten much attention, they get a lot in the Army. Most are passed around and the combination of being passed around (or passing themselves around as the climb the chain of command) combined with the subtle masculinization of their behavior does not bode well for their long term happiness.

Lots of single moms and unhappy endings. Lots of messed up crap that does reduce internal cohesion. Someday there will be a war where all this matters and a lot of folks get killed because of it.

I’ve been in the combat arms, in combat and I know women can’t hack it. Just the hygiene issues alone end the debate right there.

Here’s a simple solution to the problem. Each day a Marine wakes up and decides he feels like a woman. He then joins the female troops in their morning showers.

“The poor deceived princesses will know the truth about their superpowers the very first time that they get punched in the kidney.”

Fortunately, there won’t be many women volunteer for the combat branches.

This is kind of meaningless in the face of a continuing movement toward outsourcing on the part of the military.

your wrong-

the idea is to weaken our military- there WILL BE a Woman
NAVY SEAL-

“Way back in January, long before the first women attended the Army’s elite Ranger School – one of the most grueling military courses in the world – officials at the highest levels of the Army had already decided failure was not an option, sources tell PEOPLE.

“A woman will graduate Ranger School,” a general told shocked subordinates this year while preparing for the first females to attend a “gender integrated assessment” of the grueling combat leadership course starting April 20, sources tell PEOPLE. “At least one will get through.”

Just like the rangers- can’t put on a a 60 lb. pack-
carry your weapon and RUN 10 miles ?— within a specified time.... no problem - just ....lower the pack weight and raise the time.
