Female soldier says she can “whoop any Marine,” gets knocked out by infantry Marine

A cocky female Soldier who thought she could “whoop any Marine” at her Forward Operating Base in Iraq was given a lesson in what a real boxing match looks like- and was a sore loser afterward.

A video shows the female Soldier -who allegedly said she could beat any Marine at the Iraq-based FOB- square up against a male US Marine, who seemed more than comfortable taking her on.

The Soldier learned a valuable lesson that day, though it isn’t known how much of that lesson was retained after the Marine knocked her around like a ragdoll.

Vijah Singh caught all kinds of flak for saying essentially the same thing about female golfers. Annika Sorenstam was the Godzilla of women’s golf at the time.

They were batting around the idea of having her compete with men. Singh stepped up and said he didn’t think it was a good idea. Some of the things done to courses to make them competitive for PGA events are barbaric. They don’t do those things in prep for an LPGA event.

They went ahead and invited her, and I think Sorenstam ended up either at the bottom or very nearly the bottom.

It was almost exactly as you say.

Indeed

I’m six five 235

Old now but once I wasn’t

I could kill average petite woman in probably less than a minute

I’ve been mad at women...furious honestly

But I’ve never even for an instant thought of killing a woman

Men yes.

And Bobby Riggs intentionally lost to Billie Jean King.

And remember BJK was allowed to use the doubles sidelines, whereas Riggs wasn’t.

Way back when, we had a female marine who thought she had just learned the secrets of mortal combat. She got real mouthy and shaved little ‘ol Air Force me. When she woke up I decked her again. Her fellow Marines gave her grief for being disrespectful to the Marine uniform and making such juvenile challenges. Some idiots need a spanking to grow up.

No one seems to remember that Riggs absolutely destroyed Margaret Court. Court was the number one player in the world at the time.

I have a book by Rod Laver in which he flat out says the match was rigged. No way a feminist like King would have played Riggs after what he did to Margaret unless she knew the match was rigged.

Thanks!

IMHO, in the woman vs man Marine video, the Marine was taking it easy on the woman. One clean, hard shot would have finished her. Looks like the video if from 2007.

It breaks my heart to think we have men punching out women in our military.

I have no sympathy for the particular woman. She was, indeed, asking for it.

But the marine gets to remember abusing a woman for the rest of his life. The opposite of what a man should be. While other men cheered him on. Sickening.

This was my graph, so I modified it...anyone who has ever had a jacket or boots issued to them in situations where supply levels are less than optimal knows the truth of the statement: The military operates on averages.

A military planner doesn't design a task that only 20% of males between the ages of 18 and 45 can do, they design it so that everyone in that MOS can perform it, and then they make sure people are up to the task.

For example, they know that if they make a 15 mile march with 80 lb packs, guys who get into that specific specialty that needs to do those marches will have the physical capability to do it. They also know that if they make it a 25 mile march with 80 lb packs, the percentage of men who can be counted on to complete it is going to drop.

If you are in an artillery unit, they probably figure a man can walk one 105 mm shell twenty yards in one minute and perform that task repeatedly over some interval of time. (I am making up all of this, I don't know the demands or requirements, just using these as examples.)

So they try not to make things impossible...for the greatest number of soldiers, sailors, or Marines.

Not a man. What kind if man beats up a woman? The lowest of the low.

What? You don't believe in female equality? She demanded the chance to fight a guy. She got her wish.

The Marine did her a big favor in granting her wish in a controlled environment. She sounds like the kind of fool who would have gone off and issued her challenge in some bar, and encountered some guy who was willing to give her her wish WITHOUT gloves. And she would be dead or permanently brain damaged.

She’s got a LOT to learn about defending herself. She left herself wide open to being hit throughout the “fight”. IMHO, she got what she asked for.

Run with the big dogs or stay on the porch. The real problem, here, is not that the stupid female got her attitude adjusted or that a man did the adjusting. The problem is that she was there in the first place.

You also need to color the area to the right of the left blue line that is under the green dotted curve, but above the black dotted curve.

When you do, approximately 40% of women are capable of the minimum required of men.

Women, even if the same size and stature of a man, do not have the same muscular strength or other physiology to compete head to head with a man in a fight like that.

I forget the woman’s name, but there was a female (real one) professional boxer I believe, who was hospitalized after she was forced to fight a “woman” who was a guy... Her comments after were she’d never been hit that hard in her life...

OF COURSE SHE HADN’T!

Can a smaller, weaker opponent win a fight? Yes, but they can’t win in a fight like that? Short of a lucky strike and a glass jaw, not likely.

I don’t know the back story on this fight, and even if taken at face value what this woman claimed, I found nothing cheer worthy watching a man beat up a woman.. even if she asked for it.

Not sure what the base commander was thinking letting that take place.

And if you look to the right of that max cutoff line, that is where Special Forces specimens congregate. The top 25% in strength...no women are going to be there, period.

This is not meant as a criticism or disrespect of women. I know women can mentally be smart and tough. It is a statement of fact that no amount of Hollywood or feminist indoctrination will be able to change.

That woman’s got “weapons grade stupidity.”
She should have stopped after the second blow.

Who wants to be the man who goes around saying “I beat up a woman”?

Marine?

I think not. Marines are men.

Lower than anything.

Men don’t do that.
