A lot of people are going to end up getting killed over this idiocy.

This is the gynocentric society we exist in today.

Men see the obvious problems.

Women are oblivious to the problems.

I’m nearing 60 with a few health concerns. If they keep lowering standards, I would look good in a beret!

Once again Twinkle Toes Mattis is asleep at the wheel. This has happened way too many times since he has been SecDef to blame it all on “Obama generals.” Rather, it seems clear that Mattis is just fine with the PC rot in the military and has no intention of doing the heavy lifting required to root it out.

every pervert, every weirdo, every affirmative action freak should have been removed or reassigned by now. Mattis has had enough time to stop this crap.

Very few men—and no women, ever—are good enough to become Green Berets.

If this poorly written article did not have over-the-top histrionic rants typical of conservative blogs, it would be taken more seriously.

Mattis knows if he did something bold like that all those cushy defense industry board of directors million dollar payola retirement “jobs” he has lined up would disappear. We’ve gone from the greatest generation to the greediest generation, IMO.

If you dispute this then do so by facts laid out for all of us. However if you just disagree since it against your view, or agenda then please just say so.

>>Miller was the guy running Benning when the conspiracy to graduate three females from Ranger School took place.

When that went down, I had some discussions with my niece's then boyfriend, now fiance.

I've posted his comments before, but will post again. This from Fall 2015.

Comments from my niece’s boyfriend on the women Rangers and the convenient loss of their training records a week or so ago. Applies here too.

He was a Marine 240 gunner, spent time in Afghanistan, this guy is serious business, we probably wish he’d gone to SEAL school, he’d have had a much better than average shot at it. Here’s his commentary on the Ranger school records debacle:

“Oh trust me, I’m aware. S*** makes my blood boil. I’m not even phased by the fact that they’re deliberately hiding the records of the females’ performance. I can only imagine how heavily that course was catered to the females, not to mention the fact that they probably outranked the entire instructor cadre.

We had a female interpreter in afghan, she was at the Company COP so I never saw her. She ended up having an affair with our Co 1st Sgt (surprise).

We also worked with the Brits for a while, since they had a patrol base not far from my squads pb. They also happened to bring in a female interpreter...pregnant in under 2 months, and sent home. Probably got an award for it.

Even if there were females that could meet the minimum physical requirements for the infantry, that s*** will never work. It’ll be detrimental to the combat effectiveness of whatever unit they end up in. Let’s not forget the American “victim” mentality as of late. I can’t even fathom how many sexual harassment cases that would be filed. Then the rape accusations, pregnancies, relationships affecting roles and promotions, oh and the fact that no woman on the planet could firemans carry my 240lb a** with 100+lbs of gear out of a kill zone.

Rant over.

< next email, a few minutes later>

Ok I lied, rant wasn’t finished.

At the schoolhouse I taught at, we brought in non infantry units (POGs) and put them through several infantry centric courses. We had a strict standard of training and had no issues failing females or Marines that outranked us as instructors. This brought us some attention from higher ups on one occasion. A female warrant officer brought pizza for all 50 of “her” marines in our course. During their final exercise. We stopped her and reminded her of the fact that no outside food was permitted in our course. She returned with, “The four females I have in the class are going to feel sexually harassed by you if you don’t let them eat this pizza”.


I'm afraid we won't get our act together until an event worse than Chosin.

Amen. If only Starmann could have stayed in long enough and achieved enough rank, he could have saved us all!!. Reminds me of the old saying that “”Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.”-George Burns
