"I'm not to sure about that on two counts; 1) that the general is a 'woman,' and 2) she was actually running the place (incompetent)"

The odds are that the General is a woman. It's at least 60-40 :-D

And we've been told she's "married." To a man(?) who also serves, but as far away from his "wife" as possible.

Besides the "incompetence" charge, dontcha get the feeling that Karpinski will wind up with charges longer than a Chinese Restaurant menu?

We can thank Patsy Schroeder and Hitlery for their part in helping dismantle corp morale with their insistance that our combat Armed Forces be under the command of girls -- disrespect was bound to happen.

I would hope so, but you know the media will protect her. . .after all, she is in a “man’s world” and the man is trying to take her down.

Indeed. It is wrong to place women in combatant roles, or roles that are too close to performing combatant duties. Why? Simple, because when they are placed in such situations they lose whatever feminine presence they have to become one of the boys.

They affect masculine traits of aggression. That is why you hardly ever see a feminine woman in the military. Hold on, I’m talking about combatant roles or roles like MPs. These women become “men.” They have to because those roles require aggression, not feminine traits. Combat and dealing with the enemy is not a situation where Oprah or Dr Phil are needed. Those are situations where Sgt Rock is needed. Even popular media recognizes they truth in what I am saying. . .though they would never admit it.

Consider a couple of typical examples; “Alien” movies and Captain Janeway from Star Trek. Alien movies have women performing as warriors and they act, speak and think as men. Capt Janeway has a rough, commanding male presence. In neither case are women feminine.

England wasn’t some impressionable young woman forced/tricked or somehow made to act the way she did. No. She wasn’t merely acting as one of the boys. . .she WAS one of the boys.

Sad.

Karpinski will be defended zealously by Schroeder an Mrs. Clinton and the wohle NOW contingent because she is obviously being persecuted because of her "gender" and W and Rum's hatred of women.
