Yet another pentagon politician eyeing that pension and perhaps thinking of a post-USMC fling at public office.
Geez this PC crap will get us all killed.
This is wrong, I want the rules changed
You're right, I'll do it right now ... by the way ... would'ja' like to go to a war zone and risk your life?
Hell yeah ... send me !
The money line.
Political Correctness trumps reality.
“and if those standards are necessary.”
Meaning. . .standards WILL BE LOWERED to allow females in the MOS.
I weep for the future.
And allow fags.
I am utterly disgraced that they did not give her reprimand under a page 13. You take this stuff up with the COC not smatter it on the pages of a newspaper. Opinions and rights to express those opinions are for good reason squelched in the corps to maintain discipline and order. I guess we are now in the social enlistment touchy feely times of the military. God help us all if the corps has too gone to the sh!!tter
Whiner.
About years ago, my daughter was offered a commission in the Marines. She worked with the recruiter (a great guy, BTW) as to the physical requirements she would have to meet.
She trained *on her own* and periodically with the recruiter. She was able to meet the standard required for a basic male recruit. My point? If this woman was a self starter like my kid she’d have trained on her own to prepare, not whined that the USMC didn’t make her train hard enough. Always someone else’s fault.
My daughter ended up turning down the commission for several personal reasons. She did later go through SFPD academy (8 months!) which was brutal. Women got cut no slack there. Which surprised the heck out of me considering it is SF.
“he offered Santangelo a chance to go to Afghanistan while she awaits an opening in flight training”
,,,, after not succeeding in the Infantry. The USMC sure is cool these days,,, if you happen to be female.
Officer misconduct and official entries go on page 11.
If flight school doesn’t work out, she get to be an astronaut? And who in hell thinks its a fine idea that a platoon of USMC infantry be commanded by a female?
Amos needs to resign.
This is what happens when the Air Wing gets a commandant. Make no mistake, the Wing is beloved and critical,, but it should never run the Corps. That’d be like the USN medical branch running the entire surface fleet.
But typical in this age of Officers and Presidents.
Spot on! There have been troops who stood before the man for a lot less than this.
In future combat the army that is NOT PC will win. As an aside I have lost respect for the military top brass. To save their pensions they caved to the Clown threats.
