I’m not taking anything away from the gals... several who worked for me along the way retired E-9’s and were damn effective but we were not humping 80 pound packs, either.

Oh, golly gee. And if a female infantry officer isn't humping her ruck, that goes to the driver.

Look at it this way; we have fairy males besting female track and field runners because the guys want to pretend they are female. And yet some in the military want us to believe that female infantry officers can hold there own.

Um, no.

“but ya want Trump to order everyone or just the Generals in the military not to?”

Pretty much.

You want our Generals wasting valuable resources flapping their cake holes on maternity leave for same sex couples?

Uh, that’s an actress in a USMC uniform? In a “JAG” episode?

Not sure hotties like that occur in nature at Parris Island.

And if one did, a Marine’s sole instinct in combat would be to protect her, mission be d@mned.

Let’s see, need more infantry females who can take a year off. Got it. The Marines are no longer a fighting force, they are a welfare program.

How do you stop petty thievery? Implement the death penalty for first time offenders.

Lurker’s point, which you know but are being intentionally obtuse, is that Trump could stop all of it except from those that are exceptionally stupid. Easily.

Death penalty? You want the death penalty of a member of the military for getting political on some website?

And to be clear, my initial comment clearly defined what was said. Again, once it goes out on the Interweb, Trump can do nothing about it. No? Will he subsequently demote or throw out this individual? I dunno and neither do you. Pay attention instead of running defensive for someone else.

Instead of being tough as nails, the Marines are looking for “spiffy as freshly polished nails”....

After 20 years and 3 wars in the Suck, I am offended this came out of the mouth of a Marine Commandant. I am offended from enduring the pain of humping a machinegun up mountains, that the top general in the Marine Corps thinks this is a viable program and priority.

When helicopters are falling out of the sky due to lack of maintenance and lack of night time flight training for crews.

Sorry to offend your thin-skin sensibilities. But this is how nations collapse.

I am not offended by your statement, I agree. I was just surprised at the way you put it.

Really this is just stupid. His goals should be military preparedness and ensuring we win whatever fights need to be fought. Maternity leave does NOT fall into that category.

Actually maternity leave is mainly due to imitating liberal colleges and making the military co-ed

U.S. Military, Take Note: Norway's Unisex Army Dorm Rooms ... www.vocativ.com › usa › u-s-military-take-note-norways-unisex-army... Mar 26, 2014 - In the U.S., nearly all barracks are coed, though individual bedrooms are still segregated. Once you are deployed, however, men and women often share the same quarters, especially if the base is in a remote location like Afghanistan.

Marine Corps Ordered to Make Boot Camp Coed, Remove 'Man'

Yet pregnancy is likely due to neglecting to take the dastardly Pill in order to obtain maternity leave. All of which is contrary to the Biblical norm, in which male and female marry, and have children, and being the mother of which is what the female is primarily designed to be, versus being on the front lines of the military.

Got it, and I have an equal disdain for females that use their anatomy to advance their careers off the backs of young men who sacrifice their youth and health for this nation. They are cows.

Eventually we will get into a real war with real fighters as our enemy. Probably the Chinese or Ruskies and then all this PC bullshit will be shown to be a feminist wet dream. Unfortunately we will lose a lot of good men before we come back to our senses.

Now the Marines are gone. Defund the military because they can’t be trusted with $700B/yr.
