Yes, more chaos courtesy of the Obama administration. You accurately described what is happening.
What do you think?
Successful cultures/civilizations reflect and build upon nature and the natural order of things. One of the resiliencies of Christian thought is the acceptance of God’s creation. Liberals reject that.
To them civilization is a moldable social construct and to a degree they’re right. At some point your policies will put your civilization perpendicular to nature. That’s lights out.
All this is proof of one of two things, either the left wishes to destroy the effectiveness of the military in every way possible (which seems like the real answer) or they are incapable of comprehending reality which is true for some no doubt but probably not of the ones who are in a position to decide these matters.
It’s the latter. Sure, the Left wants to destroy the military, but how could men and women sharing foxholes hurt the military?
Men and women are the same. Gender is a societally imposed construct... You know the drill.
I agree with you and Rip. I don’t believe the left is capable of understanding reality. They are under a delusion. Of course, they think WE are the deluded ones. I try to see things from their point of view so that I can better understand them. I can even argue their positions, but it’s essentially nonsense to me.
In regards to women in combat, equal standards aren’t applied to military women who aren’t currently in combat. Are we expected to believe the military is going to create newer, tougher standards for women?
The military women I have talked to feel this is about equality. They say they are being denied promotion because they don’t have the necessary combat duty on their records. They say it’s not their problem if men coworkers treat them differently. That’s the man’s problem.
It’s about their needs and wants, NOT improving the military.
Thanks for the ping!
It also must be noted women treat men differently than other women as well. Feminists apparently have no problem with that. Why wouldn’t she not send her female friend on a deadly mission? Why wouldn’t she save her friend over a guy in her unit? They’re sisters....
It cuts both ways. None of this is any good. People see “Aliens” and a Vasquez-type character and think it’s really how it is.
I would applaud the female captain who served in Afghanistan for being honest and admitting and actually writing about it, that the stress is really going to be crippling and career-ending for most women. Just confirming and acknowledging what the common sense intelligence has said all along about this. Not that there aren’t women who can’t serve, or whatever, just that it’s really not a good situation to put women into, and that in the military, you aren’t just thinking about the individual, others depend on you, and if you can’t do the job it puts others lives at risk when you’re talking infantry or special forces.
Feminists aren’t really bothered by it because as most of the military fighting force is men, they don’t care if the men die at the expense of women in combat. They will claim the men were already risking their lives being in the military. The difference is that all those men, on average, outperform the average woman just by being men and being built differently. They all more or less can do the same things, haul the same things, get there ir roughly the same times, and are expected to.
Expecting the average female soldier to be equal or better than the average male soldier is akin to expecting the average dad to be equal or better than the average mom. They aren’t built for the mom role. They’re built to be the dad.
