When a 130 lb woman can pick up my unconscious almost 200 lb son and carry him out of the line of fire, THEN and ONLY then will I allow her into the infantry.

just thought that if the one quoted above was hurt, would Jarret be able to carry him to Marine One?

I thought “diversity” and “multiculturalism” was supposed to do that. Another Obama lie.

Until we get our arses kicked in the next war, with lots of women coming home in body bags.

During the Cultural Revolution the Chicoms would grab a cleaning lady, hand her a scalpel and call her a surgeon, and at the same time give the surgeon a broom and order him to sweep the floor.

Obama’s new directive has Mao’s lunacy beat.

Who knows why these twisted ‘progressives’ continue to bark at the moon & rant at the real world like they do. This tendency would be amusing if it hadn’t killed so many millions.

And will kill many more, I’m afraid.

IMHO, if equality is the goal, then all young women between the ages of 18 and 26 should be required to complete selective service registration. It’s only fair.

He is deliberately destroying our credibility with out nations and cutting out the heart of our military by destroying its material and corrupting the integrity of our personnel.

Tell a Big Lie often enough and some people will eventually believe it. Liberals believe it the first time around.

USMC has a School of Infantry (SOI).

100 pound packs...you start with a 3k march, then 5k, then 10k, then a 20k.

Nearly all of the women applying for SOI will drop out and SOI will simply have fewer grads.

There are so many Marines with bad knees and backs after a second enlistment. Most of the surviving women will be disabled after their service.

Unless a female can pass the same physical requirements set forth for males and perform to the same standards as males, they should not be in combat units.

Not sure if he is stupid or is lying. Both?

Single enlisted females in the military get pregnant very, very easily - about 20% of them every year. Boom! Pregnant! Nursing and the child care have to be arranged.

20% each year get pregnant. Most of them single. Having pregnant women all over the place is not the way you win wars.

It is beyond my admittedly limited comprehension as to why anyone, man, woman or whatever, actually WANTS to be placed in a combat role. For those women who actually think they’ve achieved some sort of victory, I’m reminded of what my Mom used to tell me: be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.

I’m going with both. In my view anything he says that shows any intelligence comes from his handlers.
