Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday that with women now eligible to fill combat roles in the military, commanders must justify why any woman might be excluded – and, if women can’t meet any unit’s standard, the Pentagon will ask: “Does it really have to be that high?”

For every one female that deserves a place at the tip of the spear there are probably a couple of thousand who don’t. They will be allowed to slide and when the lead starts flying they will be sacrificed on the altar of Progressiveness. That means there are thousands of little girls growing up right now who are being sentenced to rape, mutilation and death by this line of reasoning. It’s not their fault but because of their genes they don’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hell in combat. Lying about it changes nothing.

Hug your daughters and granddaughters.

I'm thinking of things like the Kokoda trail or the
retreat from the Chosin Reservoir, the troops on the
trail had dysentery so bad they split the pants up
the back so they could shit as they marched.
In Korea it was so cold the troops couldn't stop
so they had to crap their pants as they pulled out.
Not hygienically safe for women. Aside from the purely strength issues.

Like they said in 2003: Mr. President, send your daughters first.
