Clearly, the General never saw a ghetto.

Nor a Planned Parenthood abortuary.

That is correct, woman in combat does two things. First it immediately degrades our ability to kill the enemy on the battle field. Second the nation would never fight a war if it meant drafting our women. Ergo we will never fight a real war again, since there is no longer any reason to exempt women from the draft.

The Americans will see exactly what the Israelis saw when they attempt to put women in the infantry. It will not work and the Kenyan’s plan for killing more women, without aborting them, will be a thing of the past. As far as women being in the Special Forces, forget it. It will never happen.

Perhaps Congress will step in and stop this madness after the 2014 election when will have both the House and the Senate.

Ben West bio on wiki is very impressive, his insight on turning a fighting army into a "nation building" army is right on, IMHO. Sadly a "nation building" army would be hard pressed to defeat a old fashion killing army.

Our politicians and political generals can't wait to show their tolerance and diversity. It is going to result in a sorrowful and deadly end not only for the military services but for the nation.

Fools, all!

We may as well surrender now and avoid the agony and bloodshed of calamitous defeat. Our enemies have to be laughing their asses off while making plans how to split up our wealth and enslaved people.

It is becoming increasingly obvious we are simply too stupid to live as a free people any longer. We are deserving of our chains. We will soon get them riveted on.

I didn’t mean to suggest we won’t be involved in future wars. What I was thinking was that hopefully we won’t get involved in any more futile nation building campaigns in backwards Muslim lands. Hopefully the danger of this move on women in combat won’t be exposed, for example, fighting a war in Iran or Africa.
