Diversity is our Strength...until the first shot is fired in anger
US Defense Watch ^ | August 18, 2024 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 08/18/2024 4:33:20 PM PDT by pboyington

Our national security is currently predicated on a fantasy; the pipe dream of gender equality, the fantasy of the female warrior meeting our enemies on the field of battle and defeating them in combat.

It is a Potemkin Village that will implode like a house of cards the moment the first shot is fired in anger.

The lunatic idea of female warriors is promulgated by Hollywood. For 25 years, we have been force fed endless TV series with the female cop who looks like a model, and with a gun and badge the size of her waist. In a dark pants suit, she’s able to dispatch bad guys with the aplomb of Chuck Norris on an all night commando raid. Tinseltown bombards us with female Navy SEALs, female Viking warriors wielding swords the average woman couldn’t even swing, female super spies beating up four or five Russian heavies in a single blow.

But, that’s just fantasy.

And, so is our national security policy.

Women are now everywhere in the US military; on ships, flying jets, in the combat arms, in the Rangers! Standards have been lowered so much to accommodate females that your dead great grandma could be an Army Ranger now. In fact, women are graduating Ranger School now with the success rate of Hugh Hefner playing a game of naked Twister with his playmates.

Sources have told me that Ranger School has evolved into nothing more than a version of ROTC Advanced Camp. Recently, I spent several minutes trying to convince a recent Ranger School grad, a nurse with the handle "badassrangermom." that the Ranger School she just waltzed through has a much in common with Ranger Schools of the past as Julie Andrews does with a Van Nuys porn set.

Why are nurses going to Ranger School now?

The whole US military infrastructure has been altered to accommodate females with things like lactation stations at military bases and breast pumping directives for females going on field exercises. Tucker Carlson was scorched by the cultural Marxists when he asked why the military had developed a combat maternity flight suit.

Why are we sending pregnant women into combat?

Why are we sending any women into combat?

It seems that every day, every week, every month is some asinine celebration of Female Warriors in the US military.

Ridiculous praise is heaped upon random women and their apparent integral roles in US history. “In 1776, Juanita Chamchuka, an Eskimo-American housekeeper and lesbian handed General Washington a cup of tea after the Battle of Trenton. This clearly shows the incredible contribution of Eskimo lesbians to American history."

Oh, praise diversity!

How did this happen? It’s quite simple: the Vietnam vets who rebuilt the military left the service shortly after the end of the Gulf War in 1991. The great draft dodger was elected and began to implement policies in 1993 which allowed females to serve in support units that would expose them to danger. Sometime in the late 90’s the snowball really started rolling downhill. Women were given permission to fly combat aircraft in the US Navy and Air Force. By 2015, Ash and Trash Carter, under orders from Barry Soetero, authorized women to serve in the combat arms of the US military, aka, the guys who close with and kill the enemy.

Of course none of this could have happened without the completely gutless leadership of numerous perfumed princes and feather merchants with stars in the Pentagon. Anyone who disagreed with this lunacy was shown the door.

To illustrate how great our new coed army really was, during the Iraq War, feminists and cowards in the Beltway concocted a story that PFC Jessica Lynch, fought it out with the tangos like John Wayne at the Alamo, before she was captured by the enemy. After being rescued in some Ridley Scott type of show biz operation, she was decorated with the Bronze Star. Later it was revealed her weapon jammed, no doubt because it was dirty and she never fired a shot. She was cold cocked when her truck ran off the road during an ambush. Jessica got a Bronze Star for Valor. My uncle who landed on Omaha Beach with the 5th Special Engineer Brigade got a WW Deuce Service Medal and an attaboy.

No problemo.

Defenders of the gender neutral military will give you examples of Soviet women in the Red Army. Women primarily served in medical and support roles with a handful as snipers. The Israelis had so many problems with women in the Six Day War that they decided to assign female soldiers as instructors. There are women in border security units in the IDF, but they are not in the combat arms.

No one seems to want to answer the most important question: how does having one women in any combat environment increase a unit’s operational tempo?

Jeopardy theme running...

War is about inflicting violence faster than the enemy. The in depth USMC study eight years ago showed in immense detail that all male Marine units clearly outperformed coed and all female Marine units in numerous simulated combat tasks and situations.

The study was thrown out the window by cultural Maoist and the worst Sec Navy in US history, Ray Mabus.

Meanwhile, on snow crusted steppes, Russian Spetznaz troopers are utilize the Dickie Marcinko Fed lockup PT plan; bare-chested and running cadence in -70 temps to, "We're going to beat you to death with our shovels, you Yankee candyasses." The Chicoms are running up and down the Himalayas with 100 pound rucks to the tune of, "My two moms from Santa Monica are President Xi's whores."

Two moms from Santa Monica never won any war, being the roughest toughest sons of bitches on the planet does though.

And, we are far from it. Check out this recent video of elements of an army platoon after or during PT.

You want these people fighting with you, holding off the red hordes in hand to hand combat? The only thing these soldiers are doing hand to hand is singing, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony..."

The perfumed princes wonder why no young guys are signing up for the military anymore. It’s pretty simple. It’s a girls club now. It’s an environment that’s just not fun. Gone are the drinking, whoring skirt chasing rowdy days when your leaders didn’t really care what you did in your free time as long as you could put cold steel down range and you were at your place of duty the next day. The military in 2024 resembles some locked up corporation run by waddling mommies. It’s a country day school ensemble.

It's a joke.

Why are the majority of national security leaders in the West, middle aged waddling women who look like your 7th grade science teacher?

Why indeed?

We’re headed for a disaster. It’s pretty obvious. Then the American public, many but not all, whose idea of patriotic service and devotion to duty is standing at attention with a bucket of KFC as the national anthem plays will scratch their heads and wonder just what in the heck went wrong.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusiveness!

You can go on youtube and find many instances of women saying they’re just as strong as men and can hold their own against them. Some are stupid enough to try to take on men with enlightened results to them.

Something that almost everybody thinks is that females are adding to the military as in the more the merrier, who wouldn’t want more people alongside the existing forces?

The real fact is that women aren’t in addition to the existing military but are a one for one replacement of a man, when you see a female GI, know that she is taking the place of a man that should be in uniform.

Eventually it isn’t just about the physical and the costs, it is about the culture and the mentality of a female organization versus an all male mentality built on fighting and killing and destroying and being rough and ready like the warrior class wants to be.

The tone is a bit histrionic - but the author isn’t wrong. Combat is no place for women - or deviants. The last thing anyone needs in battle are distraction.

Hello strawman argument. The article isn’t about support personnel. The article is about downgrading the qualifications for and the training of front-line troops, even elite units, to fit the DEI agenda.

Discussion of whether a supply unit needs more maleness is some other thread.

I don’t think women should be in combat roles as a first choice. It should be avoided at all costs, and should be a literal last resort - like relying on the civilian populace for defense. I’m here if I’m needed, but I hope it never comes to that.

Women receiving the training is one thing, and I think we should. I think we should to the best of their ability, however, we are not a replacement for men in the field. We should be support only, off of the front lines, unless (for some ungodly reason) men cannot fight and reinforcements are out of reach. I don’t know how likely of a scenario that is, but based on our current military leadership, I can’t say I’m confident in... Well... Anything.

I, admittedly, wanted to enlist when I was an older teen, almost in my twenties. My health kept me out (unrelated to my sex), but I do think we can serve a purpose in our armed forces - just not in frontline combat.

That made zero sense, it was total nonsense unless you meant to post to someone else about support.

Since you brought it up, women don’t belong in support either.

This is not about women, it’s about the relaxation of standards needed to accommodate your average woman in combat specialties

There is simply no way virtually any women can make it at the elite level of training.

Frankly, if you catch a veteran Navy Seal in a candid moment most will admit that even they could not make it through BUDS because of injuries sustained while in service. They would never quit but they would be withdrawn for medical

Women can serve in many areas.l

No problem giving women a shot but no woman could pass hard core training standards like Ranger School or BUDS .

All of it is so true. Following in the letter I send to papers and commentators each December. This idiocy has metastasized throughout the Armed Forces for nine years now. There should be little of value left.

The of Tragedy Social Engineering Combat

Obama’s defense department announcement on December 3, 2015 meant regimental combat teams and special forces units became bureaucratic toys for those imagining equal opportunity and affirmative action could coexist with warriors enduring the brutality imperative for victory.

Combat operations require the most severe restrictions on human emotions and behaviors to foster the uniquely understood high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion. Human sexual diversity of any variety cannot intrude into this authoritarian meritocracy where only those displaying the greatest savagely can win.

At the point of collision, our troops face situations requiring exceptional physical capabilities and unbelievably sacrificial, primitive, and intimate relations. They continuously face extraordinary stress punctuated by killing other humans within inherently chaotic and brittle environments.

Of special consideration should be an understanding national defense through personal combat becomes the ultimate Olympics. Therefore, much less excuse obtains for merging men with women into this hideous ordeal than exists for combining the athletic competitions every four years. Certainly, the controversy over transgender females competing in women’s Olympics makes that point obvious.

Institutional memories no longer exist for fighting ferocious, shrewd enemies such as Germans, Japanese, Chinese, and North Vietnamese, who utilized a full array of modern weapons. As this tragedy unfolds remember the quote that, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”.

If a truly global war breaks out where combatants attempt to breach our borders I fear it will fall in us old veterans, no matter our health to step up and defend our way of life. The armed forces will be useless, except for very limited engagements by the Marines and some more elite army units. The last ship I was in in the mid 80’s had a mixed crew. It was amazing to me the number of girls who in purpose got pregnant to avoid a med deployment. They were subsequently assigned state side to take the job if some poor guy. There were a few who were fierce warrior type but could count them in one hand. It will take generations to fix this issue.

When sexual assaults occur in the military, proper training probably has not been provided.
