Somehow this will be Bush's fault.
AP hit piece written after the reporter viewed The Generals Daughter for background information.
And just when I was thinking of encouraging my grandson to think about the Air Force.
Another increment in the incrementalism to destroy the military or, at least, make it into the welfare commune of liberalism and therefore, useless as tits on a boar hog.
Exactly. Or girls who get drunk, don't act like a lady, and then sober up.
I wonder what's changed?...
After seeing Linny Englund in her pictoral debut from Abu Garaib, let's not conclude that the boys are the only ones causing a problem here.
Damned if you do and Damned if you don't!!
I never thought it was a good idea to put women in the Academies. The cadets are at their prime, and they are so isolated from normal social life that this is inevitable.
The woman's state of mind does not in any way validate improper behavior.
Memo to the Pentagon: You are damn fools for opening up these academies to women. You have guaranteed serious problems in perpetuity. This is a nightmare that will never end. It will occupy the efforts of very good men in a hopeless battle against the inevitable consequences of human sexuality in young people.
To hell with whether this country can win a war with a well-trained military officer corps, we're too busy trying and failing to keep young cadets out of each others' pants.
The Pentagon leadership cannot win a war. They cannot even figure out the difference between women and men.
The Pentagon cannot defeat terrorism. They can't even defeat the communist lawyers of the ACLU and have thrown the Boy Scouts of America to the wolves.
Shame on the Pentagon and its cowardice and its reckless disregard for honor. Our senior military leadership is a disgrace to our proud military traditions and history.
Only 150??? No problem here, they are not gentlemen until they graduate, so until then, boys will be boys.
Coed military academies are a ridiculous JOKE
Agreed! Young people at the peak of their drive and at the nadir of their common sense.
The larger problem here is the emasculation of the military. It is a process that has been going on for many years. The academies are insecure about there role in society (I say this as a West Point graduate) and in order to maintain favor with politicians who control the purse strings, they are always at the forfront of their respective services in integrating women into their organization.
The men see the double standard and are disgusted by it. Political correctness has run amok and soldiers, sailors and airmen who were once very loyal to their services and to the nation are tired of putting up with the bs.
Remember how Elaine Donnelly of the center of military readiness exposed the double standards designed to create women fighter pilots in the Navy? She was litigated ad naseaum by the feminist military lobby. One man, in uniform, could never stand up against the imposers of "women in the military," he would be toast the minute he raised his head.
Now all the guys just go along to get along. But there exists a lot of resentment.
Have separate academies. If the women who want to join the military really want to do it for the right reasons, they shouldn't mind a bit if they're not among the men. They can even claim separate, but equal. I say 'claim' because I don't believe that women ARE capable of the same physical or emotional fortitude as men. It's just the way we're designed.
If women want true 'equality' in a military setting, perhaps they could show themselves to be up to the challenge and quit using accusations of harrassment to 'achieve' whatever it is they're seeking.
Flame away, ladies and gents. :o)
The arguements about coed service withstanding, rapists are rapists. There is no blame here - when a woman says no she means it.
In the 80's I saw so many women get pregnant and leave the AF during my nine-month tech school after basic training.
And make the courses stricter. I had 6 hours of class and 5 hours of homework every single day.
Whatever happened to that?
And I recently learned the University of Brasil is 50% tougher than California State University. It takes a month to learn any language, and almost all technical terms are English.
