Will women be able to pick and choose whether they’re assigned to frontline positions?

Really?
Is THAT “equal”?

Can the guys say “no” to such an assignment?

Better get ready to have your girls sign up for selective service at 18!!!

They must now require women to register for the draft. If males have to register, than so should women. They may be needed on the front lines. I just hope they’re not captured by the enemy.

I guess Jane Fonda was too old for the part?

Wonder if the Yop Nrass are in agreement with Obama on this.

I know military girls that can run fast, forever, but you put a pack on them, and they are done.

I don’t think the term GI applies to special forces, isn’t “general issue” and SPECIAL forces sort of opposites??

The whole goal is to turn the Military into another jobs program. Just like it is in Europe.

When GI Jane can slap a 75 pound ruck on her back, weapon, other equipment, and hump in the mountains and jungles for days and weeks at a time, then I will say job done. But, it ain’t gonna happen. I went into the Central Highlands of the mountains of Vietnam. We carried a full ruck, about 60-75 pounds, along with at least 8-12 canteens of water, 12 C-rats meals (which is all can goods basically), several bandoleers of ammo, claymore, and other assorted items. I was 5-10 and weighed 160 pounds. I was in the best shape of my life at 19 years old and I can GUARANTEE you that at the end of the day you could have hung me on a line to dry me out. I was totally spent. We crashed at dark, expect for our 2 hours on guard, and slept 10 hours every night. You still woke tired each day. A female is not going to be able to do this. Simple as that. If she does, more power to her. But I do not see a female physically able to do such. A chopper or jet pilot, artillery maybe, a tanker maybe, yup, she can handle that type of combat, but not ground troops.

When we start to see women coming back like Richard Harrow (Boardwalk Empire), then maybe people will have some sense knocked into their heads.

Now that the military is going Homosexual, it seems even women can kick their arse.

All female special ops units are the answer. At least that way the real specialist’s wouldn’t be put in danger.

Joe dear, mind stepping out of the foxhole for just a few minutes? I have to powder my nose.
