I have posted this before, I hope you don't mind if I post it again. I implore all to read the linked article below.

It is by far the best article on the subject of women in combat. It was written by a female Marine. It is VERY well written and unsparing.

Women in Combat - The Question of Standards by Jude Eden

When I read it, I found it to be depressing, sad, brilliant, uplifting, and ominous all at the same time.

Depressing because it is true: There are AMERICANS (even, apparently, some in this very forum who feel that excess bloodshed and defeat are worth the political feminist goals) who are pushing this agenda with no regard to national security, battlefield readiness, or the lives of the men and women who will be sacrificed when the bullets begin to fly.
Sad, because this is where we are: most men in the military are bending over backwards not to have their voice heard saying: "This is a bad idea. We cannot integrate women into combat units without severely degrading readiness and the ability to perform the mission.
Brilliant: If I can take the money passage from her article:
- "...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..."
That pretty much sums it up.

Uplifting, because this Marine who wrote the article is a Marine, and has demonstrated and successfully argued that there is a role for patriotic, dedicated women who want to serve their country as she did, and her service means no less because she wasn't kicking down doors. She is an American Woman, and her heritage and ideals have more in common with the tough as nails frontier women who conquered this country with their men. She makes the feminists look like the petulant, spoiled, anti-American no-loads that they are. This sailor salutes her.
Ominous, because this movement, like the liberal cancers it shares all qualities with, is not going away. The linked article describes this perfectly, and why it is inevitable. Because military readiness and capability is being sacrificed on the altar of an Orwellian concept that men and women can do the same tasks exactly the same. This altar will run red with the blood of both men and women, and we are going to suffer lives needlessly ended, battles lost, and a national humiliation the likes of which we haven't seen.

It won't happen now, and it won't happen during some years of the peacetime military. But when we get to a point we are fighting an enemy who is going to be evenly matched with us, we are going to lose, because they cannot be stupid enough to follow the path we have. And when it happens, the people who will scream the loudest in protest, are going to be the successors to the people who made this all happen, since they will likely be kicking back somewhere, comfortable in their Monday morning armchairs, talking about how it wasn't the emasculation of the military combat units that caused this, it was that we didn't spend enough time, money, and effort to make it work.

I worked at the Naval Space Command in the late 80’s about the time when they were first putting women on ships. I remember attending a conference with a couple of Rear Admirals that got rather informal. After reminiscing about the antics of whores in Saigon, one of them commented on women on ships by saying “What do you get when you put healthy 20 year old men and women in close quarters? Babies! Lots of babies!”

The article didn't come thru. Looks like this may be it?

It definitely has been and continues to be the emasculation of the military in lots of ways!

Some of the women in the military KNOW women should not be in combat. Any woman who thinks women should be in combat is an EVIL FEMINAZI, AND/OR A BUTCH, ETC.

NO WOMEN IN COMBAT!!

ALSO, NO HOMOS/LESBOS/BUTCHES/GAYS/ETC. IN THE MILITARY, EVER!!

I wonder if women really want to go to combat in the Mideast. Do they really think the Muslims who treat their own women as second class citizens would treat them with respect if they were captured in combat?
