Drive as many conservative and Christian men out of the military as possible so that those remaining will have few qualms about firing on “rebels” who refuse to bow down to the leftist dictatoriate.

I think their next move is to combine the USMC with the Army, something they have wanted for a long time. Semper Fi

If men and women are equal, why do women have a choice about combat and men have none? When my son enlisted, he didn’t have a “choice” about going into combat. just one more way to cause resentment.
One way to get women out of the service is to make it totally equal... Selective service.... Combat assignments for all. Treat the women just like the men and we’ll see how many Enlist. But the politicians will insist on quotas and 125 lb women will be able to carry less than the guys in order to be fair. Between this and the rules of engagement . Our military is being destroyed

Next... the draft because we won’t have enough people in the military.

And that draft had better include women this time, and they had better be drafted for combat roles.

They want "equality", so I say give it to them.

Only 17% real men in our Marine Corps? So damned sad.
Our dead VETS must be spinning in their graves.

Mission almost Accomplished

Churches done check, boy scouts done check, military almost done and as soon as it is they will empty out the jail system and hand these cretans guns to control the populace. A civilian national force as well equipped and well funded as the military

I’ll have to ask my two nephews. One is a helicopter pilot, the other a private.

I wonder what the percentage would be if the only Marines surveyed were infantry battalion Marines?

If - heaven forbid - we have another world-wide conflict, expect virtually 100% of these women to suddenly become pregnant.

Saying and doing are 2 very different things.

Even for Jarheads.

Those other 83% will change their minds once they have to carry the heavy loads of water, fuel, ammo, etc, or once deployment hits but magically 30-50% of the women are reported pregnant and don’t have to go. The services already see these numbers on deployments, now the infantry will see them.
