Imagine the military under Princess Hillary's command.

Weight training — and lots of it.

but those few who do say they want a job that takes them right into the heart of battleWhat an odd comment to add to this story.

If they give them jobs being the boss, they can have the grunts do the hard stuff.

Weight training involving trips to the chow hall?

Hey, I've got an idea!
Why not have one section of the Army for men and another one for women. We could call the women's the Women's Army Corps--WACs for short!
I'll bet nobody's thought of that!
Okay, we'll call the men's the MACs.
Maybe we could set up a third section: the GACs. HACs? QACs?

In 1979 I was in the very first co-ed training platoon at Ft. Jackson, SC.

Sounds like half a dozen....which makes it more likely that they’re libbers and happy people. You can define happy.

“Both are emphatic that the Army must not lower standards to accommodate women.”
If you are lower standards you are putting lives in danger!!!
If whatever social engineering du jour doesn’t make the military a fiercer fighting force then it is just simply liberal BS!!!
That is just this Chief’s two cents.

Not too long ago, I was at a transportation center. I was next to a military person and he and I chatted briefly. There were three women, all dressed in business attire, using their Walkman2014 devices. Along came a rodent. The guy in uniform and I didn't react but the three women shrieked and moved quickly in opposite directions. It was humorous to see the reactions of everyday people in that setting. I said “Imagine them in a foxhole.” So, what will happen if and when Princess Hillary requires women to serve in the military in the name of equality? Will the enemy unload rats and mice and see military members shrieking?

Form battalions of gays and women who want combat as front line shock troops.

Those few that do want to get bloody need a good psyche eval, most if not all ought to be disQual’d. Unstable.
They may think they want to get bloody, but they don’t know what they want.
My opinion is they ought to be raising babies that will g row up to be men to fight the nation’s battles, and yes, my knuckles kinda drag on the ground most days.

Is anyone surprised???
The women are not stupid.
They’ve seen what happens in combat first hand and don’t want to return home without arms or legs like the male soldiers.

I wonder what percentage of homosexuals aspire to combat?

That could be viewed as a suicide wish, making one unfit for service in the military.

Why can’t the DoD and President look around and ask why the NFL, MLB and NBA have no women on the field/court? But wait, you have to understand that the mission of these hard core radicals is to destroy the fabric and structure of the military that they have hated since Vietnam. When you understand that, you will understand what they are trying to do. And with the cuts Hagel wants, there wont be any military to work with anyway.
To: ConservativeStatement
Liberal elites who NEVER in a million years would bother to defend this country want women soldiers mangled, killed and destroyed. It proves something for them... something so evil and base I can’t figure out what it is...
