You, however, are an idiot.

Say it again.

Good grief, Sarge, the poster was just floating an idea, not insulting women in the services, the way I see it.
You and I served so that people could be free to express such ideas...and insulting someone for a perceived “stupid” theory is just not worthy...
Think about it, won’t you.....and just freakin’ chill!

[JimRed]

Thanks for you service, Sarge!

[Halgr]

AMEN......thank YOU for your service!!!

Where will we find another Amazing Grace if promotions to flag ranks are barred for women?

E-4, that should be it for women. :>)

I didn't have all that much contact with women in the military, but my mom was one of those incompetent female O's, and growing up she had a couple BBQs for the women in her service groups every summer. It's been 40 years, but I still remember some of the personal histories, and deeply regret I didn't have the sense to write them down. I've seen lots of goofy threads on FR, but this proposition takes the cake.
