A predictable and sad response.
Why not brush the chip off your shoulder and look at the veracity of what he actually wrote? The juvenile extreme sarcasm bit doesn't fly very far on FR.
According to the Chief of Naval Personnel, men in the Navy have higher “failure to deploy” and “unplanned loss” rates than do female sailors, when all causes are taken into consideration. Men also have higher rates of those social pathologies most affecting military readiness, including homicide, suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, DUI, arrest and incarceration, than do their female counterparts.
I’m not the one with a chip on my shoulder. Mention “women” and “military” in the same post and knee-jerk reponses are sadly predictable. In fact, I have yet to see a post on this forum that included those two words where the cry didn’t soon go up to “get the women out of the military!”
Not gonna happen. There aren’t enough men volunteering to fill the ranks, and a draft isn’t politically feasible. Much to the chagrin of some, women in the military are here to stay, not because of political correctness or feminism, but because they are needed to accomplish the mission.
How about we conservatives judge people on their individual merits instead of viewing them as collectives and making ill-informed snap judgements like liberals do?
