Follow the Marines and the Army will be allright.

------

Horseshit. The Army didn't decide to put women in these close to combat jobs they are in today. Congress and the feminist did that. The Army did not want to do it and it was shoved down our throats so we followed orders made the best of a bad deal.

Now, look at the way the war in Iraq is being fought. There are no front lines, once you drive out the gate your in Indian country and regardless of your MOS and gender you may be fighting for your life. The women in the army today are much better trained to fight for their lives and other members of the unit than women who served before.

Army women are not kept around to be eye candy they are expected to do their jobs.

I repeat when the Army follows the Marines on this issue then they will be alright...

Equis caca notwithstanding...

Women taking jobs and causing unnecessary strains and duplication of services, supplies & on TO&E if nothing else is simply a foolish and wasteful business practice

Rape claims, child welfare services,day care,mental hygiene,all the other little feminine needs that demand addressing , needs and services that men tradtional have not needed are criminal waste.,

MOS assignments ,promotions beyond ability etc etc, (the stats have been pretty clear on these issues) are costing taxpayers billions in unnecessary spending and putting a strain on the military to adequately deliver what it is suppose to...and stay within a reasonable budget

Perhaps that is why we have two Armies and a SPECOPS

One for politicians to garner votes with and one to actually do the fighting.

Duplication which costs the taxpayers a heck of a lot more than it should

This waste this tax payer monies thanks to affirmative action policy has been documented in every branch of the military (and government for that matter) except in the Marine Corps...(or at least it is kept to a minimum) The Corps is doing it right or as right as it can considering restrictions and limitations placed upon all the branches...

The Marines have better resisted the pressure put upon them by the Dacowitches and friends-and have not caved as have the other branches- imo)

The Commandant said no...and refused to cave in on many of such issues the 5 sided puzzle palace wanted to impose upon the Marines.

Not too mention the fact that in the military pursuing such insanity some man who had a higher scores is denied the position or the rank...do to affirmative action considerations rather than for the 'good of the service'...

The best man for the job is not getting the job and this comes at a BIG price...efficiency,morale,and very likely- lives.

I repeat when the Army follows the Marines they will be better for it...

imo (P.S. I am an ole phart and set in my ways ..I grew up on military bases)
