All Combat Roles Now Open to Women, Pentagon Says
NBC News ^ | 12/3/2015

Posted on 12/03/2015 2:02:50 PM PST by Kegger

After long periods of study and vigorous debate over the idea of women on the front lines in battle, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced today that he was tossing the entire issue out the window and that the United States military would be opening all combat roles to women at the beginning of the year.

See, nothing matters. Things dont go their way during their rules and processes, toss them out.

One way left.

I’ll never forget the video during the Grenada invasion of a female running off a military transport, barely able to keep up the the guys, rifle in one hand while holding her helmet on with her other hand, while looking totally out of place.

Or howz’ ‘bout the female officer sitting in a jeep during that invasion bawling her eyes out.

And don’t for get Jessica Lynch, the POW that the muzzies captured who was repeatedly raped, and then thrown aside by our lamestream media when they found out that she had nothing to add to their agenda.

This is what the muslim traitor has done to our military.

Do the jihadis not get there 72 virgins if they are killed by a woman, or is that just an urban myth?

Create Amazon legions, squadrons, and ships. Let them fight and die as a unit. If they need some men for heavy lifting and spider killing, give them the biggest flamers that the Obamilitary has to offer.

But don’t discriminate...make all their mottoes be “First to Fight”. If a beach needs taken, America’s Amazon Warriors will be first to hit the sand!

Hell in a hand basket. Not that women don’t have a place in the military, they do. But, on the front lines, they don’t have the physical or mental attributes to be there. JMHO

Now that they can fight, girls can register with the government just like the boys must do when they turn 18.

It’s only fair.

It won’t be rescuing women that gets other soldier’s killed. What’s going to accomplish that are the following:

1. Depleted units due to battlefield injuries sustained in logistics (getting too and from the battlefield). Aubrey the Army Girl can’t haul her 80 lbs pack, pulls a hammy or throws out her back. Now you are -1 in the unit.

2. Fewer men to carry bigger loads to compensate for women who can’t hold up their end.

3. Reduced speed - can’t hike as far with the same amount of soldiers.

Women, in general, are better marksmen than men. Lots of research that bears this out. In terms of survivalism, the strengths in men become weaknesses, and the weaknesses in women become strengths (higher BFP, lighter, require less food)

I am sure this will end well!

Now all women must be required to register for the draft and subject to any further drafts. Just like all men.

Equal is equal.

What advantages do women bring to the military that a man couldn’t?

This is all nonsense to make women feel like they can do anything they like.

When did we decide this as a nation? Somehow I missed the discussion.

Hell yeah!! Our troubles are over we can now defeat all our enemies. If only we had done this in previous wars the victories would have been so much easier.
