No women in the Masters, but women in the Navy SEALs; are you kidding me?
US Defense Watch ^ | August 21, 2016 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 08/21/2016 7:47:37 PM PDT by pboyington

It’s been a summer of good sports: the Tour de France, the Rio Olympics, baseball, and now within weeks, the beginning of the football season.

Professional and amateur sports are obviously not coed. Why aren’t women competing with men in the track and field events at the Rio Olympics? Because men can run faster than women. Why aren’t women competing with men in the Tour de France? Because men are stronger and have more aerobic lung capacity. Why aren’t women intercepting a pass in the NFL? Because women don’t have the muscle mass and upper body strength to last five minutes in the NFL.

So, let’s get this straight…

No women compete in the Tour de France.

No women compete in the NFL.

No women are teeing off with Jordan Spieth in the Masters.

No woman play in the NHL.

No women play on Major League Baseball teams.

Yet, women will now be allowed in the Green Berets, the Navy SEALs, the infantry, the cavalry, the artillery, the Rangers, Marine Recon and Delta Force.

Professional sports have a profit motive and bring in a fortune every year. Do you really think the owners of the Dallas Cowboys are going to start a woman as QB just so they can show how sensitive, progressive and PC they are? Of course not! First of all there would be outrage that a woman would be subjected to physical destruction on a football field. Secondly, the Cowboys would lose millions in revenue after fans refused to buy tickets. The networks would lose millions when people turned the dial from Sunday football to reruns of Mannix.

The same could be said for every other sport I’ve mentioned. Granted, golfers aren’t body slamming each other to the ground, but lady golfers no matter how talented or cute they are, just can’t compete with the Men’s PGA tour. The networks aren’t salivating over the Marriot Ladies PGA Tournament. They salivate over the Masters, the US Open, the British Open because the best golfers in the world are there and the best golfers in the world bring in millions on TV and the best golfers in the world are men.

So, let that sink in for a second. No woman is allowed to tee off with Dustin Johnson at the US Open, yet women are now allowed in the toughest units of the US military, the combat arms and special operations; jobs that require an incredible amount of physical exertion, upper body strength, endurance, aggressiveness and the killer instinct that nature has given men, along with the physical prowess only young men possess.

Why isn’t there outrage in the country over the fact that our nation’s young women are going to be subjected to the horrors of ground combat and the rigors of life in a combat arms or special ops unit, which turns strutting 22 year old men into geezers in a decade.

Why isn’t there outrage in the country that our nation’s young women are going to be maimed and butchered in future conflicts?

Do the people of America have any idea what the young men of this nation have endured in our wars? Speak with a survivor of Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach, the Frozen Chosin’, Khe Sanh or Fallujah and ask them if they want our nation’s sisters, daughters and mothers exposed to the nightmare world of a battlefield.

Do the members of Congress even care what happens to our nation’s young women? Furthermore, why are they willing to let aviators like Martha McSally become the experts on the inclusion of women in the infantry or the Green Berets?

The generals know the real story, as most of them are combat vets, but they are too spineless to take a stand as USDW has indicated in a myriad of articles.

Since the dawn of time, men have defended their nations and fought wars. While technology has evolved, the simple mission of the combat arms has remained steadfast. Their mission is to seize and hold ground and to annihilate the enemy swiftly and violently. The combat arms have no other mission but that. What has changed in the DNA of mankind to suggest that women will now somehow be able to survive on a battlefield?

The answer, obviously, is nothing has changed in the DNA of mankind. What has changed is the effect of militant feminism on society. What has changed is the absolute spinelessness of the US military’s leaders in allowing this insidious insanity to be instituted.

Feminism, like socialism is nothing but death: death for the family, for women, for masculinity, for society, for freedom, for the future of mankind. It is evil incarnate and as heinous a philosophy as fascism or communism. It belongs at the bottom of a very deep sewer.

Feminism is now in the process of destroying the US military as no enemy of this great nation ever could. If the current policies are allowed to continue, feminism will be responsible for the demise of the US military in a future war and the fall of the Republic.

Feminism has created a whole generation of women who have literally been brainwashed by Hollywood, leftist K-12 teachers and card carrying communist instructors who lecture at Women’s Studies classes in the nation’s universities. Many American women now believe they are physical equals of men, no matter what history and science tells them. It is a mindset that teeters on delusion.

On the other side of the spectrum, the nation’s young men are the feminized products of a whole generation of the War on Boys by school administrators, the absence of male role models as coaches and teachers and a feminist driven society that portrays men as indecisive wallflowers who parade around in capris and crocs.

While a loss in sports may result in a loss of money for a team, a TV network or individual players, it does not mean the death of soldiers, Marines, the US armed forces and the nation itself.

We are now at the point where we need a gigantic reality check as a nation. We must finally ask ourselves if we are willing to send the US military to its death in a future war, in order to placate cultural Marxists, feminists, liberal imbeciles and gutless generals.

Will common sense finally win the day in America, or will we march to our deaths like zombies, led by feminist executioners? Will America be nothing more than a chapter in world history, where future historians explain how the greatest nation on God’s earth was destroyed?

Time will tell…

I have no problem with women becoming SEALS if they pass the same standards as men. If a woman passes that, same level, she gets my respect — just as male SEALS do

What a give away! All the male animals in the wild will be following the seals who are “in season”. My cat let’s me know by his affection several days prior.

This piece misses the point. Almost every example he uses of a “men’s” event is in fact open. Any woman good enough can compete, even if anatomy makes it highly unlikely.

This is — in theory — what the military is doing now. In practice it may be lowering standards or creating double standards with dire result, but we don’t oppose that by citing examples of discrimination which don’t apply as such.

This all goes away as soon as enough females in body bags get piled up high enough.

Some great comments on the whole subject of women in combat arms from my niece’s boyfriend, who ended a Marine enlistment about 18 months ago; he was a 240 gunner in Afghanistan.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3415429/posts?page=24#24

That whole thread is worthwhile on the subject.

“Professional sports have a profit motive and bring in a fortune every year. Do you really think the owners of the Dallas Cowboys are going to start a woman as QB just so they can show how sensitive, progressive and PC they are?”

Yes, actually. Several top female players have tried out for various NBA teams over the years. None of them made the cut. I suspect if any of them were credible one of the bottom-dwelling teams would have given it a shot in an effort to put fans in the stands — even if only for a few weeks.

Years ago I was in conversation with a security guard at a hotel. A real mountain 6’2, 300-lbs or so. I asked him if a typical female holding a 3rd degree black belt had any shot against him 1 v. 1. He said, “not a chance”. “She might get one good shot in, but if HE connected, even partially, it was all over.”

We are watching the collapse into lunacy of an once-great nation.

This farce will be followed by great tragedy.

Too bad that we will lose a war in the meantime.

There are no "whoopsies" or "do-overs" when you are crushed and defeated in war.

I read a quote a few years back by someone that went thusly." No Nation that lets its women do its fighting while the men stay home will survive."

A Nation's women are where it gets its future. From the children they produce. The future of a Nation lies with its women. That was widely recognized at one time. That is why the rule,"Women and children first in the lifeboats was enforced by force when necessary back in the seafaring days.

I don’t think we will lose, but the casualty rate is going to be very high indeed.

On the other side, many young guys seem to have no muscular
strength and guys 50 plus can crush a ball a lot farther.


I don't disagree that there are a lot more wimpy younger
guys now a days than when I was in my 20's, but crushing
a drive has more to do with technique than raw strength,
IMHO. I am a fairly strong 50 y/o and if I try to muscle the
ball, bad things happen. :~)

The British didn’t think they would lose Singapore, “The Gibraltar of the East,” but they did.

But the British had the USA behind them to pull their fat out of the fire.

There is nobody behind the USA except China, Russia, and Iran. When we lose, that’s it.

Women will be allowed to apply and compete for the assignment. Only if they qualify will they be "allowed in". As long as the requirements are not changed, no problem. If there is a Supergirl out there who can meet the standard and wants to serve, God Bless her!
