I am so worried that the men will risk their lives, when they shouldn’t have to, because these women will be a liability to others and this PC/ equality bull pucky may even cost these these women to unnecessarily loose their lives.

I am glad you posted this information. When I was a girl it was important that women who had the ability not be discriminated against simply because the job was not traditional. But putting women in combat positions that they are not qualified for is foolish and morally wrong.

Now that Obama has set the world on fire he wants the military neutered just as he has done to the police.

Who will send their sons into the military knowing they will face this? Not many I’m guessing.

Carters attachment to an ideology fueled by arrogance and premeditated ignorance does not constitute a long period of study and vigorous debates as he claims. This tragedy of women in combat provides another reason I now always council men to never enter the armed forces. Social engineering that amalgamates GLBT acolytes and feminist aspirants everywhere has now become the over arching imperative to which all operational capabilities must submit.

Combat operations entail applying and enduring unimaginable brutality until victory. Therefore, only the highest physical abilities and most severe restrictions on human emotions and behaviors can foster the required high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion required. Human sexuality simply cannot intrude into this one dimensional world where only those displaying the greatest savagely can hope to win. Resorting to war for national defense entails the ultimate Olympics, so there is much less excuse for merging men and women into this environment than exists for the athletic competitions every four years.

Combat forms personnel into small, rigid, task oriented units. These people continuously face extraordinary stress punctuated by killing other humans. At the point of collision, they face environments requiring extraordinary physical capabilities and unbelievably demanding sacrificial, primitive and intimate relations. Such environments are inherently chaotic and brittle. They can be overcome only by a totalitarian leadership and narrow focus unimaginable for those who see any opportunity for social engineering.

The regimental combat teams for infantry, mechanized and armored units are now the playthings of bureaucrats committed to equal opportunity, and dismissive of warriors enduring the brutal carnage imperative for victory. Institutional memories no longer exist for fighting ferocious, shrewd enemies such as the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, and North Vietnamese, who utilized a full array of modern weapons. If one notes the ribbons on any senior officer’s uniform, they show they fought Arabs the Israelis beat three times at 20 to 1 odds, and never fought the enemies mentioned. Such people now question the necessity of high standards which already allow inferior female performance.

Women not only do not belong at the pointy end of the spear, but should not be holding it to the extent the combat arms must depend on their savagery. As this tragedy unfolds remember the quote that, Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

When the Supreme Court integrates college football in general.

This is what women in combat will look like in the real world.

IIRC, he also said they would have to qualify using the same standards the men were held to.

Ergo, problem solved.

Great post, thanks! “If one notes the ribbons...” this is more important than most realize. The old guys with the first hand experience are all gone. One doesn’t have to think very hard about what a brutal enemy will do to the women that go into combat. One of my sons wanted to become a Navy seal. We had been stationed at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey and then at Stuttgart, Germany. This was late 80’s and early 90’s. From what I saw then, I told him I was totally against the idea. I saw what was happening even back then. He likely could have made the cut. He had Olympic times in freestyle and was on both the German and American swim teams. I have never regretted my advice to him. There are still great men and women in the military but the “head” has been rotten for quite awhile.

“Congress has 30 days to review Carter’s decision. USDW is calling on Senator John McCain and Congressman Mac Thornberry, chairs of the Senate and House Armed Service Committees, to order the Army to turn over the Ranger School records for the three women. If it is found that Griest, Haver and Jaster were put through Ranger School when they weren’t qualified, Carter must be immediately fired and there must be a Congressional investigation of the Army and Ranger School.”

Do you really think this administration and this AG, who have time and time again demonstrated that they are above the law, will allow that to happen? John McCain is near senile and severely compromised even if he weren’t. I doubt he will exert much effort let alone the fire power needed. If the Republican Senators have not already called for the impeachment of Obama can we really believe they will stand their ground now? What you fear for the military has already taken place in the House and Senate - there are only a handful of real men left.
