I guess it's the week for it. We had Chelsea Clinton lamenting her grandparents' lack of abortion availability....
Why doesn’t Chuck Hagel have the same opportunities to serve in combat? Send him to Afghanistan.
That’s Ms. private Shirley Rambo to you, sir.
“First, I think everyone understands, and this is the right thing, we can’t lower standards. We have high standards. We should have high standards. Our country has high standards. Our military has always had higher standards. And we need to keep those standards.”
Aren’t the standards for females in uniform already lower than those for males?
The Obama Boys’ REAL “war on women”. Get them all killed in combat.
Why? Torture and rape, Chuck You.
Go over there, keep Old Misery on your shoulder for 30 seconds, and get back to me.
Why can’t 12-year olds have the same “opportunity”??
"Our military has always had higher standards. And we need to keep those standards. And so it's not a matter of lowering standards to assist women to get into combat positions -- women don't want that, you wouldn't want that .. "
But then ;
" .. and I think to find the right balance of implementation to allow women to move into these new opportunities and new positions if they want, if they're qualified, if they can do the job."
We look for the weasle room to lower those standards
Probably for the same reason the cheerleaders didn’t suit up and play in the NFL with me.
59 percent support women entering would-be draft, poll says

I still can’t believe this guy is Defense Secretary ,he thinks he’s running a Summer Camp
It is not about opportunity. It is about ability and unit cohesiveness to defeat our enemy in the most fast and brutal manner possible. Women do not make combat units cohesive. Neither do faggots for that matter.
What is wrong with these people?

I heard earlier this week they are already talking about creating different standards for women in the rangers and seals.
Ok Secretary Hagel, I’ll bite:
“Because it would be a waste of money?”
Training and evaluation cost money, and lots of it.
At least our slow friend agrees that lowering standards - ‘bad’.
So, we could select candidates that have a chance of meeting or exceeding existing standards, or we could select candidates that have little to no shot of meeting or exceeding existing standards and have a wash out rate of 99%.
Call me crazy, but since DOD was forced to cut budget - twice, and then get sequestered, this doesn’t seem a good idea from a simple cost standpoint.
I could give you the half a dozen excellent reasons why women on the front lines will NEVER enhance our ability to carry out mission objectives, but why not stick to bucks?
I agree with Hagel, start by sending all the “Femi-Nazi” types to combat, especially to places that are Taliban Controlled...In their own “special” units too, no need to have our service men endure their screeching...
Why shouldn’t a 59 year old fat guy be allowed to join the Navy Seals?
I’ll you why ... because women have no place in combat. It has nothing to do with capability. It’s all about nature. Men think differently when on war footing. They don’t need women in their way distracting them from their duties.
It’s time to put this equal opportunity horsesh*t where it belongs. No man wants a woman in his foxhole with him. No man wants to be responsible for a woman’s safety during combat and that’s exactly how he’ll feel - responsible for her.
