Diversity is our Strength...until the first shot is fired in anger

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

My 40 year old daughter, has been going through a divorce...18 months ago. Her ex is a total POS. He is about 6 2 300 lbs of intimidating flab. She can’t do a thing. She married about 16 months ago to a man. He is about 5 8, 170lbs. He is recuperated from Cancer until he went back to work a month ago. The big fat ex came over and my SIL backed him down, promised him a whoopin’. Big guy calls the cops, wants his son brought out to him. Cops show up, SIL stands them down with the facts, and he is NOT taking his son. He seriously wants to take this guy to the street and curb stomp him, but...there is a family to take care of. As much as his wife could handle him when he cared, she would be killed if she got in his way.

Men are men, and women need to know their place. It is NOT in combat arms, the police squad cars, or as firefighters. They CANNOT HANDLE THE LOAD.

Putting women in combat (like putting them on a police force) is paying full price for a 50% capable soldier. In war it is done as a desperate attempt to stave off defeat. Even with all men we haven’t won a war since WWII. If we can’t get enough men to fill the ranks, we should institute a lottery of males to fill the gap, not using women.

To be effective, a combat unit needs to be trained as a team under an experienced and trusted leader. Their leader has to be where the troops are, to face danger with them. Their leaders cannot show preferences - each soldier/Marine has to know that if they draw the short straw, it's just the luck of the draw - nobody is staying back because the CO has an attachment to someone else - or a grudge against you. If you are chosen to lead an assault over open ground, with a better-than-even chance that you won't get to the other side - you have to know that your being picked was fair.

As everyone knows, women on average are smaller and carry less in combat. They wear out earlier, they are emotionally more fragile than men and will suffer long-term psychological damage, if they survive.

But the worst effect on a combat team's cohesion and morale will combining young men and young women together. They will form couples (or worse) and their allegiance/attachments will be to their partners not to the unit. Worse, sexual attraction is almost never linear: PFC A will want Corporal B - but Corporal B wants Sgt C, and so on. Then you'll have the rest of the unit without a partner and resentment will be augmented with rifles.

The question is: do we want to win wars or just earn spots in combat infantry units, just because you think you might like it (Trust me - you won't).

In my outfit, Echo Company 2/1 in Vietnam, everybody got hit, some as many as three times. It was damn dangerous. Infantry combat is to kill the enemy, or be killed while trying to kill the enemy. It seems that our leadership has forgotten that fact.
