I fully expect our military to be used against us, so I see this as good news. Nothing like a bunch of screaming little girls trying to act tough.

Openly homosexual troops and now this. Yep, that’s how you maintain the best military in the world.
They’ll do a couple of photo ops with their sleeves rolled up blazing away with their ASSAULT RIFLES to help females who are running for office on the DimmocRat ticket.
Yeah, we’re done.

Are we expecting to need a new batch of cannon fodder?

Please remember the thousands of women in our military that DID NOT request or demand this when we talk about them decorating fox holes and dying like men.
God bless all of them.

Sending your 18 year old daughter into the Marines? No disrepect to the memory of what the USMC USED to be, but I would not do that. This was her choice and it was quite a surprise. With her high scores they are guiding her into intelligence so hopefully she won't see combat. Then again she still has to get through boot camp.

Max was being general about the a$$hole in the White House. Thank you for the great job you did in raising your fine daughter and your daughter who is becoming one of the finest! God Bless you and your daughter! This also worried me when she told us. Actually I'm more worried about her being assaulted by the dykes then anything else. She's a strong kid and won't take crap so I have faith in her.

Same thinking as the fringe lefties who want to bring back the draft. Draft our daughters into the Army and start sending them home in body bags and every parent in America will run out and join a Code Pink protest.
Or so they think.

Looking at some of the pictures of Clinton testifying today, I’m thinking that those crazy eyes could get us some real estate.

Lets cut to the chase and deal with the real issue. Feminists and their spineless male supporters wont be satisfied until women are serving in every ground combat role, including infantry and Special Forces. Why is that a bad idea, what are the consequences for our security, and why will this lead to our daughters being involuntarily drafted into combat?
First, it is a bad idea because direct ground combat is the most physically demanding task known to mankind. The average male has twice the upper body strength and a quarter more endurance than the average female which explains why men are best suited for ground combat roles. When it comes to ground combat, brawn matters and the weak dont survive.
Recall television images of our infantry on patrol in the mountains of Afghanistan or patrolling villages in Iraq. Those troops carry a full 60-80 pound combat load for hours at a time often in extreme heat, day after day. That grueling routine is interrupted by periods of intense violence that require quick Herculean effort. Few women can perform to that standard.

Okay, so an 'openly gay' military stops MALES from enlisting.. Females on front lines stops FEMALES from enlisting..
I see an effort by 0bama to willfully drive down enlistments.. Hmmm...

On the bright side, it would be great to see a bunch of badass American chicks sending scores camel-effing islamatards off to the hereafter.
Tarantinoesque, with the right soundtrack.
The ever-increasing ridiculousness of the Hollywood riot-grrrl porn, shat out by the likes of Tarantino, is exactly the reason that so many clueless sheep in this country support things like women in the military. After all, those 102-pound poster girls for acute anorexia can kick the crap out of 12 'roided man-beasts without breaking a nail, so obviously only a sexist pig would be against women in combat! In real life, of course, the most badass woman alive would only stand a 50-50 chance of beating a one-armed, 15-year-old male with polio. In the age of CGI, however, reality doesn't stand a chance. However, I guarantee that reality will get the last laugh.

Foxholes will look much nicer with better interior decorators.
That already happened when they did away with DADT

If the Dems nominate a female liberal in 2016 for president, the rhetoric about female body parts this summer will pale in comparison to what will transpire in that year. In addition, we will hear and see signs ridiculing male body parts in a variety of political issues. "Kick them in the..." "Cut their..." Garbage like that will be mainstream.
