Men are too rough to train with, Army tells women

"Girls and boys are different"

Hillary's duh!

[Keith in Iowa]

There are probably a bunch of pansy men that don't want to be outdone by a girl...

[BadAndy]

There are virtually no sports where women compete directly against men, yet liberals want women to fight men on the battlefield.

Some of the action films that started coming out in the 90's were hard to take seriously. Carrie Fisher taking command of her own rescue party and bullseyeing stormtroopers in Star Wars was funny and somewhat original for the time, but nowadays every female lead in an action film has to be as butch as the men and be capable of taking out someone two to three times their body weight, especially if the story is set in any decade before a member of NOW burned a bra. It's one of many over-used elements in pop culture these days.

On the other hand, Linda Hamilton was one of the best characters in T2 because she really did look like she had put on some muscle and she didn't act like she was as immune to pain and fatigue as Arnie's character was.

'Men are stronger and more robust and it's silly to pretend otherwise'

Who didn't know this?

[joesnuffy]

Follow the Marines and the Army will be alright.

I am sure that retired Dim Senator Pat Schroeder is
pulling out what hair she has left !!

Ha Ha !

[Randy Larsen]

If I promise to go easy...can I play with the girls?

[DMZFrank]

I will risk committing the grievous thoughtcrime of political incorrectness and state the next logical question, why does the military discharge men who can meet the female physical standard? Why not restrict them to the jobs that women are allowed into?

[M203M4]

And, for one span of every month, the ladies' platoons will be most feared. Psy-ops could involve dropping a few chocolate-dipped-strawberry MRE packages. Such would prompt immediate surrender of all surrounding enemy forces.

owowowow don't hit me owowowow

[NCLaw441]

Will they also just fight against other women? Just wondering.

[kennedy]

Hopefully when they go to battle the eneny will have the courtesy of only using women soldiers against them.

[Eagles6]

The military simply needs to figure out what women do better than men. Yes, I know that may sound heretical to some, but isn't it obvious that if men are better at some things than women, then women must be better at some things than men.

Uh, no.

[mad_as_he$$]

Slow learners - the Army that is.

[Last Dakotan]

Good to see the Army is finally facing reality.

I think it is the British Army. Ours is mired in PC think.

The military simply needs to figure out what women do better than men.

They just have to ask any married man.

"Men are stronger and more robust and it's silly to pretend otherwise. It seems that at last the Army has woken up to the fact that women are different - something blatantly obvious to anyone," he added.

He's quite right.

[SJSAMPLE]

Damn!
At first glance, I thought; My Army, The US Army. Outstanding!!!

Just, Damn.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I don't think they have women's matches in war.
