Probably for the best as we no longer have the will to fight to win.

the rhetoric about female body parts this summer will pale in comparison to what will transpire in that year

Their campaign slogan will be stolen from those commercials for that line of personal cleansing products...."Hail To The V!"

it would be great to see a bunch of badass American chicks sending scores camel-effing islamatards off to the hereafter.

No it wouldn't.

Apart from all the practical objections, is no one at this so-called conservative site interested in the unnatural and socially destructive program of moving to re-invent the human person as whatever's politically marketable this week? Is there no one willing to stand up for the truth that there exists a real thing called human nature, which does not change and is tampered with to our peril? Is there no one with the wit to see that the unnatural, un-conservative attempt to hammer humanity into the New Man belongs to a Marxist agenda?

I agree and its not fair to men. Its bad enough to get captured and be beaten up or tortured. But they shouldn’t have to watch women who are in their unit get raped literally to death. Not to mention women should not be put in that position. The whole thing is just a poor idea.

So if there is a draft they will face equal odds of being drafted?

A while ago I saw a documentary which followed a platoon of male and female recruits through Marine recruit training.The narrator claimed that they were undergoing *identical* training...the women didn't have it easier in any way.After one particularly tough day of training several of the male recruits were filmed and interviewed.They all appeared,and sounded,tired...sore...and even dispirited.When filmed and interviewed after having experienced the same training exercise the women were weeping like little girls.

Women in combat? Yikes!

Panetta was watching too many silly hollywood movies where a 100 lb female takes out a platoon of hulks, Godzilla, and a plethora of zombies breathing fire.

Congrats. My sister use to fly jets for the Marines.

I am betting she thinks this is a bad plan but I haven’t asked her. I suggest for your sanity you avoid threads like this. The sexism, macho crap, and outright disrespect for women (mascaraing as chivalry) is all mixed up with the sensible realism. What is left is mostly a cesspool.

And I don’t mean to be crude but women’s monthly cycles also impede their ability to be completely effective, IMHO.

“What Panetta says meaning nothing without congressional approval. The dykes will not win this one.”

Let them win it; if they receive preferential treatment for jobs, promotions, college seats, etc., let them die for it. I assure you none of my sons will die for their freakshow utopia; like me they’ll just get the bill.

“It was over when they allowed gays in.”

Could you imagine being a medic in a unit with these freaks? CPR, staunching spurting wounds, etc.?

Will a female front-line soldier obey an order to fire on American citizens? Why change the rules now? Answer: this administration is planning to re-institute the military draft, to include women and use many of them on America's streets rounding up our guns. If I am correct, another question arises; will the good patriotic American men shoot an American female soldier who comes to confiscate their firearms?

Recipe to Destroy US Military

1. Take one healthy US military and slice along hamstring. Trim with blunt cleaver, taking $500 Billion, sprinkle with Homosexuality. Remove War on Terror and set aside never to be used again.

2. Roast over slow flame, trimming bone and muscle as it rotates. Baste with mission to aid Muslim Brotherhood.

3. Smother Christian chaplains and Jewish rabbis, while liberally adding in paganism, Islam, and witchcraft. Add "Repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell" training to entire military, and intimidate into submission.

4. Cover with America's wives and daughters, and roast under hot broiler.

5. Trim away remaining $600 Billion using Sequestration Ax (must be blunt).

6. Serve cold on large platter.

Wonder how long it’ll take women to realize reality doesn’t care about their gender.
