Hey General!

How about fixing your screwed up Rules of Engagement and Social Services Mission Creep?!?!?

Then you’d discover you have plenty of talent to do the job!

[PhiloBedo]

I think it’s more likely that young men that would qualify to serve, now see there’s not much point, when their work is undermined by ridiculous ROE, and that they are very likely to be prosecuted and jailed for doing their job. Not to mention having leaders and a CIC like Barry.

With the faggotization of the military, there is no way on earth I’d entertain the thought of joining up these days. Even if the country suffers another 9/11 attack. Wouldn’t sway me one iota.

NONE OF THIS is necessary and NONE OF IT will enhance the ability of the armed forces to fight. This issue is being impelled by radical feminist activist politics and cultural marxism. Now we are being told that women are MORE suitable for recruitment for the armed forces than men. This ids the sort of propoganda that those in the cultural marxist homosexual activist movement employ when they imply that homosexual couples are more suitable to raise children than heterosexuals. Anything to achieve their objective of “fundamentally changing” important societal institutions.

This notion of placing women into combat roles is just so easy to refute. Many of you may have heard of a little dustup called World War II. At the peak of United States involvement in that war there were 12 ½ million personnel in uniform, many of them women. Over 400,000 personnel were killed in the line of duty, against the toughest battlefield enemies this country has ever had to face, ones that were capable of and often did inflict shattering BATTLEFIELD defeats upon our sea, land and air forces. Despite this no one saw any need to place women into combat roles that had the responsibility to directly close with, engage, and destroy the enemy..

Today with a much smaller and almost hand picked elite Armed Forces, and a population base that is more than twice as large as that during World War II, there is even less need for it now than then.

This entire idiocy is being propelled by the demand for selfish feminists to qualify for chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nothing more and nothing less than that.

This lunacy WILL weaken the ability of the Armed Forces to fight, just consider the logistical strain that it will place on the Armed Forces for separate housing and the like. The evidence of the disparity in physical suitabilities for combat MOS’s as reinforced by study after study is simply overwhelming. The effort that will be necessary to obtain a relative few qualified women will not result in anything remotely resembling any accepted model of effeciency, but since that is NOT the object any way, why worry about that? This is merely another sop to the perverted Cultural Marxist notion of fairness and equality and another step on the road of “fundamental transformation” of the vital institutions of this nation.

Bowman pointed out that legal problems, lack of education, drug addiction and health problems are among the reasons many young males are unable to join the military.

It's called a "waiver" and the military has been using them for a long time.

I should know. I had a whole stack of 'em when I enlisted (youthful indiscretions of the misdemeanor variety).

[ConorMacNessa]

The wages of a half-century of the Feds getting their hooks into education and the wages of a half-century of "women's lib."

We've produced a generation of functional illiterates by throwing unlimited money at a failing public school system and funding nonsensical programs that do nothing but exacerbate the progressive dumbing-down of our children.

That, along with a social agenda that gender-norms the competence of our military and our civilian first responders out of existence is destroying our social order.



Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

"Bowman pointed out that legal problems, lack of education, drug addiction and health problems are among the reasons many young males are unable to join the military."

Anyone who believe this load of BS should join the military; You're just the person they're looking for.

[Up Yours Marxists]

Militaries all over the world have been in decline since WWII.

During this time, in an almost cross-linear 1:1 fashion, women have been enlisting in the military. Coincidence?

[Born to Conserve]

Pay more...

[Gay State Conservative]

As a sign of his utter contempt for our Armed Forces,Osama Obama’s turned them into a half trillion dollar social experiment.

[oldbill]

“Dempsey suggested that the military has focused too much on tough physical standards in recruiting. “

I can see our enemies just laughing their guts out.

Remember what the Russians did to German women. Dempsey is an example of the generation of political generals that Obama has pumped into the highest ranks. It’s like Clinton and Carter with the hacks they made JCS Chairmen, like William Owen and David Jones.

No, it’s worse.
Rather than a ten year drag out to eventual defeat, when the next attack hits us let’s just surrender early and save the carnage. The outcome will be the same and we’ll need the money for Obamacare.

[ansel12]

We have a much smaller military, and a much huger population, but now we desperately need our moms and daughters and sisters and girlfriends to take our place in the military.

This will only escalate as the less male it becomes, the fewer males will enlist.

[LifeComesFirst]

Didn’t they say that allowing gays to serve openly wouldn’t have any effect on recruitment? If I’m reading this article correctly, this seems to be circumstantial evidence that it has had an effect.

But then again, I don’t care.
