With all that is going on, I am SO thankful that being in the armed forces is still voluntary.

Gender neutral. Does that mean every infantryman will be required to lift a box of girl scout cookies?

Translation from lawyer speak. “All existing standards will be replaced with standards that both sexes can perform. Existing standards are seen as favoring males”

“I think that fairness is very important in a values-based organization like our Army.”

Hey general dumbsh!t. Yeah YOU. Life isn’t fair. Neither is combat. Values don’t live between a soldier’s legs.

You dumbkopf’s have just doomed a lot of MALE soldiers to unnecessary deaths in order to butt snorkel owebama and the rest of his metrosexual commie rat b@stards!

Morons!

No real man would enlist now, only women and homosexuals will sign up.

This is all good and dandy, until the first female POW is taken by any enemy. I hate to say it, but it will be horrible what the scum does. And mostly because of the stupid rules of engagement that liberals and rinos impose of the military.

Army leaders vow 'gender-neutral' standards for women in combat

As a start, the term "Infantryman" will no longer be used. The new term will be "Infantroid."

I wonder how well a composite Marine regiment of gays and women would have done at Peleliu, Iwo Jima, or Okinawa in prolonged ground combat?

I can imagine all of these folks clamoring to be sent into the maelstrom of fire and death chanting: “Send me! Send me!!” Nope, not a chance. It would be: “Anyone but me! Anyone but me!! I'm too young and beautiful to die.”

In order to avoid making the ladies...er...female soldiers feel some how fundametally different, regulations will now require that all soldiers squat to pee.

This stupid change of policy might just effectively end women in the Army and Marine Corps. To have gender neutral standards, the General probably means physical fitness standards for woman volunteering for infantry duty; however, if they actually do this, how can they still have different standards for women and men in non-infantry fields? They can’t. Many women will not join under these changes and many more women will be physically broken. Only a small fraction of currently serving women would be able to meet minimum male pt standards. Only a handful could make it through infantry training or last very long in that job if they do make it through training.
