Panetta removes military ban on women in combat, opening thousands of front line positions.

insanity
the US military is officially over, eventually
the GOPe will never, ever undo this
I’m sure they’ll all have to sign up for the draft,too./sarc
Well. I guess our days of “boots on the ground” are pretty much gone. Women in the front lines is stupid — we’ve decided we aren’t going to fight anymore.
Good grief! Another blow in the name of political correctness. Our enemies will be happy to hear this news!
I honestly don’t see the Republicans undoing this anytime soon. But hey, I could be wrong. Politics is full of surprises, after all.
Foxholes will look much nicer with better interior decorators.
Women are barred by Congress from participating in frontline combat. What Panetta says meaning nothing without congressional approval. The dykes will not win this one.
What the heck. Now America is going to put more of our young ladies, sisters and mothers into war? I know the Israelis are big on everyone stepping up to protect the country but does the USA really need to do this?
Since most of our operations are Muslim countries, I hope they enjoy kidnap and rape. This is a serious mistake on multiple levels. F Obama and all his administration.
It will never be undone
it’s now a “settled” issue as far as the Vichy GOPe is concerned.
Again this corrupt regime bypasses the system to rule by force.
Not really surprised.
Yup. From fudgepackers to dykes.
I have to admit, my first thought was, “Well, the Taliban might have some reluctance to shoot at a woman” but then again, this is the Taliban we’re talking about who shoot anyone, male or female, who they’re opposed to.
You know....like uppity women who try to learn how to read and that sort of thing.
“I know the Israelis are big on everyone stepping up to protect the country but does the USA really need to do this?”
Israelis tried it. It failed. Like I said above when the bar is lifted by Congress I’ll believe it. In the meantime just more BS from another Obama liberal.
This is to save Hillary. It gets her story out of view.
It is very very bad.
Very bad.
Thousands of positions? Wow. These modern girls...I know of about 20, and with my arthritic joints, can only really do about five of them fairly well. . . And only two are doable in a foxhole.
Tarantinoesque, with the right soundtrack.
it’s not about winning wars. it’s about ‘fairness’.
unless they have to sign up for the draft and meet the same physical fitness test standards, it’s really all about feminazis wanting their cake and eating it to.
.... This announcement was timed as a diversionary tactic to draw the press away from the news oozing out of the so called Benghazi testimony IMO.
It was over when they allowed gays in. It’s no coincidence that the man responsible for the greatest military security breach in US history, Bradley Manning, is gay. Talk to any shrink and they will tell you flat out gay men have a bitchiness to them that straight men do not, which to me makes them absolutely not qualified to serve in the military. And what was the result of that bitchiness? Flat out treason. And how did the Obama cabal respond after the arrest of Manning? By immediately overturning DADT. Just another example that if it hurts the USA, liberals immediately want more of it.
So, might this connect with the story earlier today of the regime’s military litmus test of being able to fire at Americans?
Interesting how this is released during the Hillary Clinton hearings. Golly, do you think the administration wants to DISTRACT the public or something???
Perhaps even CHANGE THE SUBJECT???
Kiss my ass. My 18 year old daughter is going into the Marines in August and she is the farthest thing from a dyke. I hate this announcement.

Obama's daughters? Why, is there some law that includes Obamas in draft registrations?
Only is something abhorrent happens in a future battle and the American people demanded it. I don’t see that happening, but that’s the only way we would see this change.
there’s a waiver app for that.
think unions/Obamacare
I honestly don’t see the Republicans undoing this anytime soon. But hey, I could be wrong. Politics is full of surprises, after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You’re right. Lots of things about Romney/Ryan disgusted me. But one of the biggest was their promise NOT TO UNDO the fags in the military regulations Nobama unleased on us.
Foxholes will look much nicer with better interior decorators.
I thought the homosexuals had already filled that position!
There go the physical fitness requirements. And since the combat effectiveness of a unit is limited by its weakest members, the patrol range, speed, equipment that can be carried, etc. The combat effectiveness of the entire army is now greatly reduced.
In peace times, sharing a foxhole with a nice petite female would be desirable. But in combat, I want the big, ugly dude that could drag my injured butt out of harms way.
Well, since gays how are ‘equal’ in the military, and women are too, I want to force the Navy to allow people with bad vision to fly jets and anyone can be a army doctor...no education needed. It is only fair, don’t ya know.
Frankly, I don’t care anymore. Let them go. Let them get shot at and die like men. That’s what they demand, give it to them.
However, I don’t want to see anquished reports of women killed or captured in combat (see: Jessica Lynch).
Onward with Obama’s transformation of America!
The Israelis experimented with women in combat and decided against it. Women now only serve in secondary roles.
Max was being general about the a$$hole in the White House. Thank you for the great job you did in raising your fine daughter and your daughter who is becoming one of the finest! God Bless you and your daughter!
“It was over when they allowed gays in”
You’re right, because a fag is but a man that thinks he’s a woman. How many fags wants want any part of combat. How many NORMAL women want any part of combat? I was in combat, and I damn sure never wanted to be there. There is a reason why women are called the weaker sex. Let muslim soldiers show the US why. Hell, they are tired of raping men anyway, might as well have the real thing. Obama, first with the fudgepackers, now with the bull dykes, is absolutely destroying the military.
Sending your 18 year old daughter into the Marines? No disrepect to the memory of what the USMC USED to be, but I would not do that.
May God protect your child from the Obamanization of the military.
I fully expect our military to be used against us, so I see this as good news. Nothing like a bunch of screaming little girls trying to act tough.
Openly homosexual troops and now this. Yep, that’s how you maintain the best military in the world.
They’ll do a couple of photo ops with their sleeves rolled up blazing away with their ASSAULT RIFLES to help females who are running for office on the DimmocRat ticket.
Yeah, we’re done.
Are we expecting to need a new batch of cannon fodder?
sigh,, how long before unisex boot camp? sign me up.
I’d still squeeze into a khaki outfit, XL uhh OK XXL
I can hear our enemies giggling now..
Please remember the thousands of women in our military that DID NOT request or demand this when we talk about them decorating fox holes and dying like men.
God bless all of them.
Can’t you hear Satan laughing?
I kinda like the idea of a Battleaxe Battalion.
There was talk of bringing back the draft.
This was her choice and it was quite a surprise. With her high scores they are guiding her into intelligence so hopefully she won't see combat. Then again she still has to get through boot camp.
