Somebody tell President Trump he can fix this.

God help us. God help us.

Trump is doing okay in some respects...But he's a piece of shit for letting this happen and continue to happen, along with Neller, Mattis, and every other piece of shit who not only watches this happen, but continue to push it full steam ahead.

As far the military goes, Obama may as well still be in office.

Been saying all of this for years, but it appears the battle is over.

It was a real shock for me when that SOB Spencer Rapone came to light. It wasn't that he was an OUTSPOKEN and vocal communist...what really shook me was that so many people at so many levels KNEW about this guy, they KNEW, and did NOTHING. That was a real and profound shock to me.

**********************************************************

If you haven't read it, this article, written quite a while back by a female Marine, tells the God's truth about women in combat.

Women in combat is insanity, and those who support it in any way have never been in combat, have not taken the time to look realistically at the issue, are politically compromised, or are simply ignorant. For a really good assessment of this situation, written by a female Marine, check this link below by Jude Eden-"Jane of Trades", USMC on women in combat and training.

In particular, about halfway down is her seminal piece: Women in Combat: The Question of Standards, by Jude Eden. I cannot recommend this page highly enough, she served in the USMC in the Middle East, honorably, in non-combat roles, and she knows of what she speaks.

Here, from that article, is the passage that says it all: "...Meanwhile, the argument to maintain the combat exclusion makes itself easily in every aspect. Including women in combat units is bad for combat, bad for women, bad for men, bad for children, and bad for the country.

The argument for the combat exclusion is provable all the time, every time.

Political correctness has no chance against Nature. Her victories are staring us in the face at all times.

The men just keep being able to lift more and to run faster, harder, and longer with more weight on their backs while suffering fewer injuries. They just keep never getting pregnant.

The combat units have needs that women cannot meet. Women have needs that life in a combat unit cannot accommodate without accepting significant disadvantage and much greater expense. Where 99 percent of men can do the heavy-lifting tasks typical of gunners, but 85 percent of women cannot, there is no gap women need to fill..."

And it isn't just the infantry, either. I watched a video of USMC artillery, and they were humping 155mm artillery shells off the back of a truck. They were pulling them off at chest height, duckwalking them over 15 yards, putting them on the ground, then going back and getting another one.

I think they are somewhere around 100 lbs per round.

Sure, there are women who could do that. But the average woman could not.

When in a combat situation, I can certainly imagine times where that nice loader and transporter thingie is not going to be available, or you are simply in a situation where you gotta move the rounds fast using a bunch of people.

To boil it down, my objection to women in combat is twofold: First, simple differences in physical capability and function between men and women, and Secondly, the effect on morale and logistics associated with military activity due to a mixing of the sexes in that environment.

It would be one thing if all we needed in the service were button pushers but we are not even close to that level yet. Too many of these bureaucrats think we are living in a star trek world.

Let women, minorities and the LGBTQ community go do some dying for a change.

White males should stay at home go to college and take leadership roles in industry and government.

This is not a military of Pappy Boyingtons, Chesty Pullers and Pattons.

When TSHTF, those men emerge.

...Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the aging sexologist and media darling who endorses virtually every form of sexual deviancy, as long as it’s done “lovingly.”

I had no idea she was still alive.

If this were the Cold War, I have no doubt the Soviets would make a stab at Western Europe. The “two front war” scenario laughable. Maybe North Korea drives south. The Mideast set on fire. As for now, the Chicoms know our vulnerabilities and have all the time in the world. Nukes are the only security blanket as was then as it may be now. Obama certainly tried to eliminate that also.

ROTC cadets were ordered to wear red high heels to show empathy to rape victims.
Breastfeeding and lactation memos were distributed to special operations soldiers.
The Bible and Declaration of Independence were taught as sexist documents during online DoD classes.

a scathing letter written by several Green Beret training cadre at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, accused the senior Special Forces leadership of essentially dropping ALL physical standards at the Special Forces Qualification Course, in order to allow women to pass the course.

On January 13th, two male officers, Captain Daniel Hall, 30, and Captain Vincent Franchino, 26, were married in the West Point Chapel as fellow officers served as members of the wedding party in the first ever gay nuptial affair at United States Military Academy.

In December, 2017, Major General Ryan Gonsalves’ nomination for a third star was pulled pulled in the wake of an Army Inspector General’s probe that found he disrespected a female congressional staffer when he called her “sweetheart.”

Then there’s Second Lieutenant Spencer Rapone, a West Point graduate, a holder of the Combat Infantry Badge, a platoon leader in the 10th Mountain Division. Pictures of Rapone wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt under his West Point dress uniform and a picture of Rapone holding his cap, with the inscription inside, reading, ‘Communism will Win!’

As I always point out on threads such as these, the militaries of the actual Communist countries our Left loves so much don't have any of this "diversity" nonsense.

There are times the non-western Left seems downright right wing.
