Truth-neutral administration

[traditional1]

This will allow women to collect "combat pay", but you can be sure they'll not be in the front of the pack, facing Muslim Terrorists who will look for them for "fun" and "use"....

This is, as always, allowing women to be included in jobs they don't belong in.....

Chance? I’d hate to be shoulder-to-shoulder with a female soldier who took a ‘chance’..

Saying “It is a good idea to let faggots and women in the military, especially in combat roles” would have got you thrown in the luny bin 40 years ago.....

No, Mr. Panetta: Soldiers are only entitled to do what they are ordered to do. If they are the most capable for an assignment, they should be ordered to it or allowed to volunteer. Otherwise, they support the mission in the background.

By this flawed assumption, everyone who wants to play NFL football is "entitled" to O-offal's famous ubiquitous "fair shot".

These people are SOOoooo living in an alternate universe. I'm reading "Caliphate" right now, and this admin along with the media makes it very believable.

And when it proves to be a disaster, “misogynist conservative” males will get the blame one way or the other.

[KittenClaws]

If some women can actually perform as men without the standards being lowered, and it did not involve a draft of...shall I say, women who understand they are women, I have no problem with this.

If feminists and lesbians can really DO the job of men, go for it. But leave the real women out of it. Lowered standards does not a soldier make.

As for me, this is a deflection story.

[One Name]

I’m assuming every 18-26 year old female will now be required to register for the draft...

He’ll someday rot in hell....along with his puppet master.

[Taxbilly]

Give them all draft numbers,

[doc1019]

I agree to some extent ... as long as the women that will be sent into combat can meet ALL the standards, both physical and psychological that are required by the men.

And they should understand that if captured by the enemy they will most probably be raped and subjected to the vilest handling imaginable. Not my perverse thoughts, just the way Allah’s best treat women, especially women that defy them.

Needless to say this bizarre policy is so flawed that even if it is partially implemented grave harm will be done. However what is instructive is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who ostensibly advised Panetta to implement this nonsense, have devolved into politically correct careerists rather than the council of supreme warriors who’s sacred duty is to protect the country. Very bad tidings for our country.

***—and let me be clear, we’re not talking about reducing the qualifications for a job—***

Sure you’re not.

[Jim Robinson]

Wondering where he gained his vast combat experience, I checked his bio:

He (Panetta) served as an Army intelligence officer from 1964 to 1966 and received the Army Commendation Medal.

Secretary Panetta holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and a law degree, both from Santa Clara University.

Also, he served many years in government and in public policy (communist) non-profits as a poverty pimp.

What about pregnancy, menstration? Will women soldiers be put on the pill? Get pregnancy testing prior t being sent into combat?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Since one of the qualifications was “male”, and now it will not be “male”, it is clear that they ARE talking about reducing the qualifications.

[laweeks]

Look, the Jessica Lynch thing failed because even though they tried to hold her up as a hero(heroine), they had to drop her like a hot potato when she testified that she had been raped multiple times by the religion of peace soldiers. They knew that that wouldn’t fly.

So, they need some horribly, critically wounded (better yet . . . killed) female, preferably a he/she that they can build a legend around.

[VeniVidiVici]

and let me be clear, we’re not talking about reducing the qualifications for a job-

Riiiiiiight.

[M Kehoe]

I wonder when the trans-sexuals, or trans-genders, or whatever the freaks are called be inducted.
