Keep disrespecting women in the military and expect a pat on the back for your... courage. Keep demeaning their presence and honorable service and you have the audacity to accuse me of personal attacks. My mission in the military was to provide excellent healthcare to the injured soldiers and their dependents and I did just so. You nulling my contribution is nothing else but a shameful act. So both of you: SPARE ME !!!

What is so funny is the original post that set you off was merely a statement that finance, medical and legal are areas that no one complains about women being in, so they aren't included in, or part of the discussion when people discuss "women in the military", in other words those areas are taken for granted and totally accepted and acceptable.

You went off and have been off ever since. I get a kick out of the personal attacks, like I said reading your posting history reveals that it is a trait of yours but it is normally discouraged here at FR.

"Medical, Finance, Legal, those have always had women, that isn’t what people mean when they talk about “women in the military”.

Don’t call the kettle black please! Your continued, shameful attacks on military women is distasteful and the lowest of the lowest. It indicates certain traits about your own ethics. I have not said one derogatory thing to you until you just started to demean the military women. So spare me the victim mentality and I would think FR would be more concerned of how “conservatives” are eagerly bashing the military by claiming it’s “just” the women’s duty they have issues with. PLEASE! Treat people as individuals and not a class. And whom exactly has declared you the authority in deciding which field are women fit to serve???? I have seen idiots not fit to serve on both sides of the agenda (both men and women) but this will never make me think either side has more rights than others to serve. Again, look at the IDF and then tell me about women fit to serve in the military. You should be thankful for their service instead of deciding what MOS they should be qualified for. I keep telling myself that I will not be dragged again into this asanine debate yet here I am. But I will continue to see the world in black and white and if you don’t agree with me just get out of my way. I have strong beliefs and normally this gives one the tendency to think that any reasonable person would agree with me but I got to the point where I don’t care to even hold a debate with you. Yu are simply trapped in your own narrow parochialism and that’s the extent of it all. I wish you well, one patriot to another! Good night!

In view of that post I have to ask you again the question that you will not answer, do you think that if the Marine Corps was made to be 100% female with no men around, could they still perform as the Marine Corps?

So, in your opinion the social experiment works. So disregard the physical differences and the downgrading of the requirements to enter the military I guess then your next move is to petition for the entry of females into the NFL, NBA, and Boxing. And if not why?

You appear to say it’s entirely a “social experiment.” You also appear to feel that women in the military is a complete and abysmal failure.

If those who support the military and additionally, those who are IN it are not agreeing with you, I can only assume that you do not support the military.

Those that have served have served honorably, but that does not change the fact that there are major differences between men and women. Those are the differences i am talking about. Now you can call me what you want, Just like playing the race card, but all that needs to be done is to look at facts. Now, this discussion is over. Trying to discuss logically with someone so tied up in PC is useless. So, you can go to bed tonight knowing in your mind that you are still thinking correctly. Bye.

Funny, you ended up having the same conclusion about “Jay” as I did. He insulted my service as well simply because I am a woman. He can justify his position all he wants and repackage it and try selling it as an anti-PC but it does not change the fact that he is in fact attacking the military. He is just excusing it citing gender.

I thought it was a quite ingenious way of showing him to be a fool by using the logical conclusions of his own positions, if I don’t say so myself. :~)
