Thanks for posting. Great read. Has there been anything proven more worthless than this Republican majority Congress?

The United States is committing suicide by political correctness.

Quick somebody resurrect General Paton.

But politically this is incorrect so it has been circular-filed.

Normal people know the truth in all these matters, but the world at large seems determined to live inside a cloud of madness. I do grieve in advance for the men and women who will die as a result of this nonsense.

This study is obviously the result of male chauvinist bias and therefore all copies must be burned to assure “safe space” for everyone. :-(

Thanks Pappy that was interesting. Not much wiggle room in the SASC testimony. I think the enemy will be pleased with our mitigation efforts.

If a woman gets wounded in battle a man will run out to save her. The Muzzies will shoot to wound the women and shoot to kill the men, and then mop up later.

The average male can break the average female in half. The average very fit male can break the average very fit female in half.

This makes it sound like Cruz and Rubes supported this and that only McLame opposed. Is that true?

With a small, but powerful group of inexperienced advocates pushing for women in combat, why did the majority of Congress and the Pentagon completely ignore the study, which basically confirmed what everyone already knew and what 2,000 years of recorded military history substantiated?

They ignore it BECAUSE THEY CAN! We let them. EVERY digression from decency, sense and reason that we see these days WE ALLOW. I shudder to think what it will take to get us off of our asses. We aren’t good Christians or good Americans.

Over time, this would become known as the Dempsey Rule, meaning that a standard too high for women will be deemed too high.

and there it is...

Another overlooked aspect of this insanity is that women in combat will be killed in disproportionate numbers, due to these same factors. Then, the feminazis will start sniveling that women combatants are being used as cannon fodder, that we’re leaving “bitches in ditches.”

“All-male task force teams outperformed mixed gender units in 69 percent (92 of 134) of ground combat tasks...”

How did the all-female task force teams do? Ask yourself why they didn’t just do this with qualified women.

No we didn't. That's why we worked for and voted for a Republican Congress. They are the one's who have betrayed us. Really, in our republic what more are we supposed to do? We spoke. We acted. We voted. The cowardly Republican Congress stabbed us in the back -- again.

But ... but ... I saw a movie this weekend where a big, strong guy like that had a woman like her in a choke hold and the petite, beautiful girl did this really cool ninja move and put a major beat-down on the big ole bully! And all the while she was studying for her law degree, curing cancer, and preparing a cutting-edge arugula salad for her children.

Next thing, you’ll be telling me that was fiction, you sexist pig, you.

Reality is going to be very harsh when we have to fight a real war on a competent enemy’s terms.
