“Ever watch the Sci-Fi channel movies?”

That is exactly right and that is how the media will portray the “female warriors”. Granted, I like some of those movies but it is fiction only. The same way that I like the Wizard of Oz or Benjie. Sounds like liberals believe these science fiction stories... and how women are superior in strength to equally trained men. Sheesh...

It’s not just being gang raped, but also tortured, beaten, and let’s not forget all of this being filmed in living color via “Al Jazeera” for one and all to see over and over and over again. I wonder how the US public will respond to it? With the internet, facebook, twitter, and “You tube” our government will not be able to keep it from the U. S. Public. Not to mention all the men who will lose their lives trying to protect these would be “toughies”

But it's really not General Dempsey who introduced this: the dishonor belongs to the disgusting Leon Panetta. I watched this fool spewing his folly out with General Dempsey sitting next to him, who was looking very uncomfortable.

Fox News link - the dishonor belongs to Leon Panetta; maybe the General will find a way to minimize damage.

“... either that she couldn’t fight or whether captors proceeded to do..”

Absolutely... if I remember correctly, at the time of this incident... it was very hush-hush. She did have bullet wounds, she didn’t have bullet wounds, she was molested, she wasn’t molested. I think only later did it surface that she was sodomized and her bones were broken for “fun”. I don’t even remember a lot of info on Lori Piestewa... her best friend that was killed at the time Lynch was captured. Nothing has ever been stated about the 11 bodies from her unit and simply “details of their deaths are unclear”.

The general probably is gritting his teeth saying this...let’s face it: real men don’t like Obama. They may have to follow his perverted orders, but they don’t have to like him.

I am betting a lot of stuff will be revealed about the perversion of the military once the perverter of the military is out of office.

1) Have you completely considered war-time logistics, with regards to infantry and port-a-potties on combat front lines?

2) Did you read the testimony from an earlier comment?

This country has literally become one big edition of ‘The Onion’. Every day a new outrage or mind-blowing stupidity. Yet every time I think ‘well, this is it, we have finally hit rock bottom and have nowhere left to go but up’, things sink even farther and get more ridiculous. I really have no idea where it will stop at this point. Every facet of our life, country and culture has been infested with a virulent, ebola-like virus of liberalism. Everywhere/everything it touches it multiplies, sickens and finally destroys in an agonizing death. And right now it looks as if nothing can stop or even weaken it until it runs it complete course of utter destruction.

On Hannity, one commentator reminded him that the men, which served with women combatants, were given additional training: if they were captured with a female, they were to ignore their feelings to give the enemy information in exchange for stopping the enemy from gang raping and torturing the captured woman.

In other words, they desentized men from their protective instincts for females.

Do you really want to live in that world? And what are you going to do with those men when they come back into civilian life?

Now the question is when will we have women in the SEALS???


Not long. The Joint Chiefs have already said there will be women in the SEALS.

101st, Gulf War I: HHC. Several females.

Tactical showers built with slats for sides and open areas upper and lower — so you can see around you when showering. . .in the field, in combat, never let your guard down.

Females complained that the men watched them shower. . .so. . .females got their own shower built, complete with full walls so no one can see then. . .and they couldn’t see outside either. Tactically unsound and dangerous, but hey. . at least they had privacy.

Field latrines, half-50-gal drum with waist-high sides around the “toilets.” Must have half-walls because in a combat environment must be able to see around you even when sitting dow doing your business. . you are vulnerable. . .can’t let your guard down. . . .unless you are a female.

Females complained and they had their own $h^^ers built, completely enclosed, of course, so the men couldn’t watch them.

So, men had no privacy but women were afforded all the privacy they wanted. . .regardless of the tactical requirement to be alert, aware and able to respond,


Which throws the whole “equal rights” argument out the window. They wanted SPECIAL RIGHTS above the rights of men.

Our Generals are no different than the Chicom Generals or the Soviet Generals were. If they are told by Obama to disarm American citizens they will do their damndest to complete that unlawful order. Perfumed princes make me hurl.

My son is a Marine. There’s no way having a female within 30 feet of him would not be a distraction. LOL.

The Army can always provide them with folding Privacy Mesh
Screens (PMS-1)for their rucksacks.

What’s a little extra weight when compared to the privilege of sharing danger in a muddy foxhole?

By the spring of 1945 about 20 percent of Soviet tanks had a women crew member, usually the tanks mechanic who also was the radio operator and hull machine gunner. In some cases, women commanded tanks. Also, Soviet artillery units had women on gun crews. While the Soviets did not assign women to infanty units as rilemen, they did serve in infantry units as medics, doctors and radio operators.

You got that right - This willful and intentional destruction of our Military and the Defense of the USA - treasonable impeachable acts of the highest order. China and Russia must be laughing their arses off and high-fiving each other knowing America under the direction of fellow commie Barry Soetoro is taking American down the Rathole with all deliberate speed, virtually unimpeded.

Apparently you and the General suffer the same lack of understanding proper feminist jargon. The word “lady” or “ladies” is strictly forbidden. That is a vestige of a male-dominated world. The proper word(s) are: “woman” or “women” or, better yet, “womyn.”

I think Dempsey is a full-on moron. He and Joe Biden must have been separated at birth.

PING!
