The first line of attack in political battles is language. Getting people to phrase things your way is the first step to getting them to think your way.
In the foggy mess of the debate over women in combat, you will see media references to a “ban” being “lifted.”
Bans are bad. Lifting bans is good. Therein lies the bias strangling this issue in the dominant media culture.
Am I “banned” from the women’s restrooms at work? No, I’m just not supposed to be in there, so that word doesn’t come up. The left has commandeered combat as a rhetorical battlefield, where excluding women is as vile as denying them the right to vote.
Just as allowing gays in the military has become a litmus test for human decency, the argument for women in combat focuses on their self-interest before the nation’s.
We see the same examples of noble service, as if they outweigh the arguments against. We hear scolding references to opponents stuck in some bygone era, steeped in bigotry. We hear no evidence of how this helps us win wars, which is the military’s actual job.

wait til our wives\moms\daughters start coming through Dover...
The feminazis need the slaughtered body of a female combatant to build a cult around, especially one who wasn’t raped . . . Jessica Lynch didn’t help when she told of being raped repeatedly by her capturers . . . they couldn’t build an industry around that . . . they need evidence of a female being mowed down or killed so they can start flapping their jaws.
The libtards want to be as ruthless to women soldiers as they are to the unborn and newly born. And the more dead women’s bodies brought through Dover, the better for their agenda.
They’re a bunch of worthless, sick bastards.
Oh, really? Since when is an appetite for sexual perversion a standard for human decency, and since when is the litmus test for our military centered around that...oh, wait...it's the "new normal".
that is one of the primary reasons why obozo ordered it.
Military and Society Threatened by Women in Combat
I’m 59 and have not hit the gym in four years. I honestly believe you could put pretty much any female body builder in front of me and, if necessary, I could break her arm off in arm wrestling.
Women simply do not have the muscle and bone mass of men - generally speaking. Not to mention the constitution for grabbing a quick sandwich while your hands are covered in the dry blood of the guy you gutted a couple hours ago.
I’ll never forget the video shot of a female soldier running from a helicopter landing with her male partners while she was holding her helmet on her head with one hand.
Can you imagine her jumping into a fox hole with your son, while holding her hand on her helmet, probably with him holding her rifle so she doesn’t drop it.
Or hows’ ‘bout the so-called female office in the Grenada invasion who was so upset at the noise and commotion around her that she sat in her jeep while she cried?
Dover will be quite busy, and the feminists will applaud.
Well, they have the homosexuals in the showers and in the bunks next to your sons now with NO restrictions, so much so that they can parade in D.C. while hugging and kissing each other, and now they can have the little honeys being subject to combat and the resultant slaughter.
Good God Almighty . . . what has America turned into?
I can see how the military could be threatened, but how is society threatened by this?
..and in other news. They have just released a plan to deal with the sexual assault epidemic in the services.
They are trying to fix a problem that the politicians created in the first place.
Every one in senior leadership is begging the troops for answers. Why is this happening? What can we do to fix it? Why do you let your buddy get assaulted?
Sad but true. Just ask any servicemember.
“But, but...We just wanted a LITTLE bit of feminism. This goes too far!”
/slippery slope
Sometimes you need to think before posting.
That’s like askng “If the levees around New Orleans are threatened, how is New Orleans threatened?”.
If the defenders of society are threatened, society is threatened.
Amen!
We are worse then Barbarians. Their warriors tried to protect their women and children.
It’s the dumbest thing to happen in the military in the last 200 years. Letting sodomites openly prance around was second.
A woman absolutely is not suited for infantry units or any of the special forces. I would go as far to say that they should also get get the hell out of any combat aircraft.
The chopper crashes,the female is captured, and the first thing that happens to her is she is gang-raped, over and over. Women have business in combat situations. This could have only happened in Obama bizzaro land. And no republican has came out against it. As usual they all kiss Obama’s ass and say “bless their hearts if that’s what they want to do”. Makes me sick to my damn stomach. How far can this country sink as a society. Elections have consequences and I want to thank the sorry, worthless ass republican voters who stayed at home and elected this worthless socialist bastard for another four years.
Liberals hate the military. It’s because they hate their country. They know that it’s not politically feasable right now to eliminate the military entirely, so they castrate it and turn it into an ineffective force.
We’re doing it now aren’t we? Drafting anyone would be different.
No currently women are bared from (ground) combat roles. Women sometimes find themselves in combat but that is rare and not by design.
When we lose the next war, thanks to the dilution of military capabilities/fragmentation of unit cohesion, we will have to learn Chinese to serve our new masters.
The only reason the federal courst have stated that women are not included in the draft registration, is that they are prohibited by law from combat jobs. The court ruled that there is no issue in not drafting them for a job that law prohibited them from filling.
So now, that all combat jobs can be filled by women, not only CAN they be drafted, it will be REQUIRED that they are.
And i intend to make sure my daughter can evade the draft into the sodomite lead military that is a tool for Obama. Only a psychopath would want the median daughter to be exposed to the nightmare of infantry combat. It’s utterly depraved.
All so a few lesbians can get higher ranks.
