I’m sure that’s why Jerry Boykin endorsed Santorum.

Newt doing his Barack Obama imitation again? How anybody could have sworn fealty to this guy is beyond me.

Newt misspoke badly here. Santorum wasn’t talking about “women’s emotions”. He was talking about emotions of ATTRACTION between men and women. He has just before that spoke about comraderie between male soldiers. And he was right.

From the recent vets I have worked with, Newt is right. "Front line" doesn't mean much anymore. OTOH Santorum is right, that when you introduce sex into the equation, unwanted shit begins to happen, front line or general's office.

“Modern Warfare” is the politically correct way of addressing conflict in the world.
Women have no place in direct combat. None whatsoever.

Santorum also completely misunderstands fiscal conservatism.

“The former House speaker... said he believes no matter where you are wearing the U.S. military uniform, you are in combat something Santorum should understand.”
If quoted correctly, his belief is wrong. If he had said “your are at war” it would have been OK. But the uniformed person working stateside is no more in combat than the civil service person who might be working right next to him.

The number of women stepping forward to serve on the front lines of combat will be very few, so we’re not talking about women making a huge contribution here. And, as we’ve heard, the number of combat troops will be shrinking, so it’s not as though we are like Israel having to make up for a small population.
Given that, why would we want to risk our readiness and effectiveness on a risky social experiment. The best fighting force is an all male one, possessed with testosterone, comraderie and physical strength, without opposite-sex diversions.

Newt is wrong. Of course, I’ve only got 25 years in, my Dad had 27, son has done tours in Iraq & Afghanistan, daughter was in the USMC, son-in-law 2 tours in Fallujah with Marine Infantry...guess I just don’t know much about modern combat.

Gingrich is more presidential. I don't think Santorum
should have said that regardless in what he meant since
women are serving. I have family serving (who are women)
To: VinL
Newt apparently agrees with how Bill Clinton redefined the term “combat zone” out of existence to justify unnecessarily deploying non-combatant female soldiers like Jessica Lynch into the combat zone to be captured, tortured and raped by the enemy.

Not to worry about that part at all. 20 minutes worth of modern anime featuring battlebots and anyone, even Santorum, can see where our PREDATOR DRONES are headed.
We will house the chicks in Missouri ~ the guys will need to be further forward where they use their upper body strength to push around the drones to get them ready to take off!
End of that story.
Next, "Real Battlebots In Your Own Driveway".

Santorum is very worrisome when considering how the next president will handle the military and important military decisions. Very worrisome.
He is religious to a T and loves his family. All well and good, but aside from that?
