Female Warriors and the Bottle

WASHINGTON -- It is apparently a little-known fact in the Obama administration that girls are weaker than boys and that grown women are weaker than grown men. Moreover, women training for combat positions suffer physical injuries at twice the rate of men, and they suffer significantly higher rates of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety after exposure to combat. Of course, you probably knew this by simple observation or by reading the sports page and noting that women's athletic records are significantly lower than men's records. But then, you are not in the Obama administration.

The administration is being forced to deal with these facts because in response to its announcement this month to admit women to full combat, including special operations, certain studies conducted by the Pentagon are being publicized. In one, an Army study finished last summer, women performed as you would expect. That is to say, they performed less well than men, at least in combat. According to the findings, women cannot carry so much weight as men, and when they do, they often break down. For instance, when women carry 70 pounds of military equipment on their backs through rough terrain, they suffer twice the rate of injury as men. Then, too, they do not adapt to military life as well as men. On the other hand, men in the military suffer twice the rate of alcohol abuse as women. So possibly the Obama administration will conclude female soldiers should drink more. There is no arguing with a fanatic.

So what are the fanatics in the administration suggesting to make our female soldiers combat-ready? They are not moderating their position and suggesting female soldiers avoid combat. The officers in special ops and the Marines had better get ready for the ladies' influx...

Many feminists use the excuse that women lag behind men in athletic performance because they have not been exposed to the same opportunities in athletics as men.

Women have been running marathons for decades, and the first female finisher usually finishes 10-15 minutes behind the first male.

I guess they have to go through a few more generations of running marathons.

Practical arguments against women in combat are mildly obscene given there are numerous ethical reasons why that shouldn't happen.

At some point in the not too distant future they are going to create those exo-skeleton devices like in Aliens so that women can lift heavy loads, run fast, etc.

Even then it will be women in combat which is just plain wrong.

I agree that females are (usually) less strong ...
a universal fact

but just for fun, and in the holiday spirit...

1. I once dated a female Israel Defense Forces tank commander.... Suffice it to say, she was not weaker (no further information will be supplied)...

and

Kipling had a relevant observation too:

When Trump or Cruz become president, his Secretary of Defense will need to initiate scores of courts-martial against the flag officers who were complicit with Traitorobama in giving aid and comfort to the enemy by promoting women in U.S. combat roles. When convicted and stripped of all rank these military traitors should be publicly hanged.

Does no one remember the Women's Professional Football league? Lasted almost a season as I recall.

Madness.

I have argued for years that once the left gets control of an institution, that institution loses all sense of what its fundamental purpose is. This is now true of the military.

*sigh!*

How true. How true.

I just wonder how many women actually want to go into combat. It cannot be a high percentage even among those who have joined the military.
