The people that really believe these things will never get closer to the Army or marines than walking past a recruiting station. Those who will endure the full measure of the cost of a distracted and un combat ready force will be the enlisted ranks in the combat arms, especially the lower enlisted grades, and the company grade officers and staff NCO’s in combat occupation specialties. These are people , regardless of gender, that liberals consider as less than disposal items. The USA is being staged to endure what it did in Korea from June 1950 until Ridgeway stabilized the near collapse after the Chinese November 1950 offensive. I do have to wonder what the effect, if any, will be here in the states if the Chicoms or the Iranians or some other group such as Isis captures a fair number of US female soldiers. The so-called leadership of the US Army doesn't believe this can happen . Well, you know how well the conventional Beltway wisdom stacks up to reality.
Congress HAS NEVER LIFTED the ban on women in combat. Just about law that Congress renigged on and let Obozo call the shots. A nation that sends it’s women to fight it’s wars is not fit to be called a nation. These cowardly general officers that put their careers over mission effectiveness are the reason this nonsense is happening. They know that women are not physically or mentally capable of being in front line combat positions, certainly not any Special Forces. A 145 pound 14 year old boy is stronger than a 21 year old, 160 pound woman.
