Really? Can you give e a link for that? This I gotta see.
Me too. I just hope it doesn’t come to that.
Any society that allows it’s women into the maelstrom of war is a dying society.
Damn right. Those they don’t kill they’ll keep to provide them with more soldiers.
Lory Manning, a senior fellow at the Service Women’s Action Network. “When you hear that ‘man’ at the end, the image is a male image.”
Cognitive dissonance much?
Shouldn’t that be service person’s action network? And she’s a senior fellow? Nope, can’t have that, senior person.
/Bovine excrement, all of it. A pox on their house for this political correct new speak.
Seems like women in combat is maybe a self correcting problem. Unless they are treated like combat mascots or something, I don’t see volunteer male operators putting themselves at risk for insane or delusional women who choose to put the unit at risk by being there.
So they guys are going to constantly helping them to keep up? Not sure I buy it, at least in situations that are truly life and death.
Freegards
Comanches were like that.
Well dog my cats....
“Maybe it works for Israel, but it’s not for us.”
No, it did not and that is why they pulled women out of front-line combat assignments.
Women in combat.
Because the screams of the wounded and dying men
just aren’t enough?
Certainly there may come a time when the whole populace
must, MUST resist but that is an end time scenario,
a last resort.
Not when the Romney, Sununu and Burr boys are not man enough to serve and fight. I see too many JAG officers among the sons of the political and too few guys like Congressman Hunter and Senator Cotton.
The USS Acadia, an oiler/tender. It was worse than a dozen.
On 5 September 1990 the ship departed San Diego for the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. She was responsible for the first reload of shipboard Tomahawk missiles outside the continental U.S. while pierside in Mina Jebel Ali. The reload recipient was John Paul Jones (DDG-53).
This was the first wartime deployment of a mixed male-female crew on a U.S. Navy combat vessel. Just over one third of her crew were women, which caused some controversy when during the course of the mission 1 in 10 of the female crew either became pregnant or discovered they already were.
