The new Confederate Army and Marines, that forms in response to CWII, won’t have queers and split tails in the ranks....

This is to save Hillary. It gets her story out of view. It is very very bad. Very bad.

Excellent observation, stanne and taildragger...

“Since most of our operations are Muslim countries, I hope they enjoy kidnap and rape.”

Indeed. The Mohammedans are undoubtedly the happiest in the world about this dreadful news. I hope the feminazis enjoy this latest “achievement”.

The Israelis showed common sense. Such a thing does not exist in any way, shape or form with this anyone in this administration or the average liberal voter.

Women pilots don’t like the term “cockpit” either.
They call it the “Box Office”.

Of course not. It is a dream, right? That means it doesn’t have to make sense!

Hey...I don’t want to see the Lingerie Football girls in the NFL...I am content to see them play with each other.

Wait...that didn’t come out quite right. Okay, maybe it did...:)

I totally agree with you, but we have to understand who is running our Govt. now - avowed Enemies of America, including the marxist Panetta. This is so wrong, and if it stands, if Congress goes along with this, then we are cooked. Which is just what Barry Soetoro, et.al., want. To have a young woman take a slot away from a young man when there is absolutely no way she could ever be physically or mentally qualified means the standards will be tanked even further.
When will the madness stop...I am going crazy with rage.

Apparently Congress has nothing to do with it anymore. It’s all up to the Marxist Peneta. Was I sleeping when Congress said it was fine? Am I missing something here? Woman in combat has ALWAYS been banned by Congress, but of course when Democrats are in power they ignore Congress. So can someone tell me when Congress lifted the ban?

Let women pay their share of the butchers bill. They will have had enough after the first few.

But we will no longer be a world power in the meantime.

I don’t think Congress did lift the ban. When I hear these women say they can’t get ahead in the military without combat experience, I just want to retch. The Jerk-in-Chief and Panetta are purging our military of anyone who still cares about this country. Putting women on the front lines may well drive out the remaining Patriots, leaving only those who are willing to go after Americans on American Soil. Career advancement, my arse. this is about the impending civil war.

While they are primarily in support roles, women in the IDF are not exclusively so. Several served in combat roles in the Lebanon war in 2006, one killed in action I believe.

So how many qualified men will be replaced by women to fill a quota? I know feminists and the politically correct will deny it, but men are stronger, faster, and can carry heavier loads. Thems the facts, Jack. Physical fitness standards for men in the military have already been lowered because they were too high for women. Now this?

Those fox holes, combat outposts and helicopters will then need to have ladies rooms. What’s next? Hiring the handicapped?
The ACLU is un-American, uncivil, and anti-liberty.
