Whether I agree or not, the total disrespect of women in general is sickening.

If I may.. it was not to disrespect women in the navy, the army, the air force, the marines, or any other occupation. It was a statement on the Unrealistic Political Idea of placing women on submarines.

What I find sickening is all the political correct, leftist attitudes and lunacy where females are put into positions that are killing a whole lot of innocent people.

Like the grandma they put in charge of the lumberhead prisoner in Atlanta, who beat her senseless, broke her face, took her gun, escaped the courthouse and killed a whole bunch of innocent people in Atlanta, terrorizing the entire city.

Political correctness is a brutal killer.

Speaking of disrespect, I find it disgustingly disrespectful of MEN to want to force the presence of women on them when they're doing men's work, and no matter how much one thinks it isn't fair (nobody said life was fair, anyway, not even -- especially not -- God), combat fighting in the military is men's work. It is HARD WIRED in the vast majority of little boys, not taught, to be warriors. It is HARD WIRED in the vast majority of little girls to be nurturers. Little girls don't have to be taught to like dolls or cajoled into playing house, like little boys. And little boys don't have to be taught play shoot-em-up or taught to crave danger and do risky things. They do it all by themselves.

It is human nature, plain and simple; people who don't like it should take it up with GOD, not the U.S. Military at the risk of endangering and DISRESPECTING the fine men who serve there. And they sure as hell shouldn't whine that it's "woman bashing" when women like ME recognize it when women's lib results in disrespect to men.

Men bond in ways when women aren't around that are crucial to survival in warfare. Women don't belong there; it is pure disrepect of masculinity to insist that we do.

In all courtesy it is NOT sexist to point out that what are wonderful biological differences do not lend themselves well to specific tasks that must be performed by every crew member without exception. These tasks and redundant command functions have been rigorously studied, reviewed, revised, practiced, graded, and drilled to the point where a crew member does them without regard to self. Females within modern physical parameters cannot perform those tasks the same as men. I say parameters because there are size limitations for submarine service (obviating the potential for say a 6’5” female shotput medalist). These are demonstrable and demonstrated facts, and trying to accommodate this for reasons of “social justice” is simply unacceptable in a vessel designed and conceived to deliver massive destruction from an undetected position and with the practiced capability to deliver the same again from another location. Perhaps an understanding of the kind of abuse submariners have faced in the past and the present from fellow Sailors, Marines,Army, Air Force and even Coast Guard (how about this one—”all queers”— and they are NOT)might help. Submariners are screened incidentally, against such behavioural dangers to operational readiness, whereas a woman could not be screened out not to be... a woman or for that matter a man not to be.. a man. This interaction and many others have been tested by several real navies- and they do not have mixed or even all female crews. I would say that it should be out of respect for women that they not be placed in such a situation, and thus place our war fighting readiness in jeopardy. The woman who runs a Predator drone and takes out an al-Qaeda leader from a base in Arizona is a heroine in my book. She doesn’t belong, however on a US submarine. It is an environment that cannot be compared to anything else.
