Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday that whether they are male or female "everyone is entitled to a chance" to become a combat soldier in a military that will now adopt "gender netural" standards. “If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job--and let me be clear, we’re not talking about reducing the qualifications for a job--if they can meet the qualifications for the job then they should have the right to serve,” Panetta said at a Pentagon press conference.

IF the reason to include women in combat is to cripple the military's ability to fight - then this idea's a winner.

Why wait for liberals in the MSM and military to lie to us? A simple test ...

Have the NBA ( National Basketball Association) require 8 teams to include women... Each of those 8 teams must have a minimum of 2 women on the floor at all times. At the end of the season, we see how they've done...

OR

The NFL could do the same: cities - chosen randomly - would field teams required to have a minimum of 5 women on the field during all play.

Dems could place bets on the teams with women... to prove they're right.... put their money where they're mouths are... The rest of us could bet against them. We might not change their liberal minds but we sure as hell could take their money.

Just ask yourself this: You are a General and get to choose one of two armies to fight. The first enemy army that you could choose to oppose had an all male army, or you could instead choose to fight the second enemy army that was mixed fag, women and men. Which army would you choose to fight?
