The Navy is proceeding with its plan to increase the number of women in the service to 25 percent with a similar goal of attaining that ratio in each ship and squadron, the vice chief of naval operations said Thursday. Women currently make up about 17 percent of the Navy, said Adm. Michelle Howard, who made a stop in Honolulu on her way to the International Maritime Defense Exhibition in Singapore, where she will meet with her counterparts from other nations in the region.

ridiculous
It’ll be fun to see how many of these disappear (for medical reasons) if there’s a real national emergency.
Well actually, it won’t be fun.
Remember the good old days when the goal was to win two major wars at once?
I suppose controlling the sea lanes and defending the nation’s interests are too old fashioned for today’s Force for Good.
And they ain’t gonna study war no more.
I do not want to see women wounded and mangled or killed in combat.
Forget the distractions. A quota distorts the competence of everybody by lowering standards across the board.
As an aside, have you noticed military scenes in futuristic science fiction? The women marines are twice as competent and twice as bada*ss as the men. So, obviously all this works out fine when it comes to fighting aliens in the future.
lets see....a good number of the women will be black.. not that that is a bad thing, but their numbers will far outpace their numbers in society, which is not a good thing.....a number of them will be homosexual, and throw that in with the homosexual men being allowed to openly mingle, yes I would say Khrushchev was right on target with his shoe banging...
ROFLOL !!!
You know what happens over time, their cycles tend to synchronize. Imagine running a ship where 25 percent all have PMS at the same time.
and they get paired with some aging male cop.....
With the sodomite communist mohammedan foreign usurper in the White House, the goal is destroying these United States.
Very stupid.
Battle readiness. Not affirmative action. Will there be a
LGBTQ quota or combination of these too?
“ROFLOL !!!”
Except he is laughing at you not with you
“have you seen the women in cops shows?....”
I stopped watching TV during the OJ trial. The few times I’ve tried the implied or actual politics, as you mentioned with the uber-competent but young and beautiful woman protagonist, turns me off.
