You have more faith in the left, Obama, and the feminization of the military than I do, and you are willing to pretend that females are equal to the real warriors and that they meet the same standards.

What combat leader would not want to replace his man warriors with a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version.

He would have to rewrite all the knowledge and experience, of what his troops are capable of and reduce all that accordingly, and simply eliminate some capabilities entirely, but a fair enemy would not seek to capitalize on those advantages of course, would they?

In the meantime, I wonder if Americans have forgotten that if we lose in a major war, we disappear from the future, forever. It seems that many Americans are starting to see war as a sporting event, where you can win or lose, but it doesn’t really change anything.

“and you are willing to pretend that females are equal to the real warriors and that they meet the same standards.”

You’re a fool and you make assumptions which makes you an ass

You disparage good military leaders because America (that includes you) elects a clown.

You’ll be crying for your mommy once that steel bar hits you.

“She attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar from 1981-1983, earning a Master of Arts degree in politics and economics.”

They forgot to list that she graduated from the same high school as me.

You constant name calling and your girlish threat go hand in hand with your agenda and support of Obama’s appointment.

“”Johnson played varsity basketball all four years while she attended the Academy: “”

Not really, unless we count the special team, the one for those who weren’t good enough.

“”In addition, she was named the Academy’s most outstanding scholar-athlete in 1991.””

Affirmative action, she never even sat on the bench of the men’s teams, how did she surpass all them as an athlete?

I kind of have the same reaction as Sienfeld had upon learning the Yankees had hired Cosanza:

’ With you two guys at the helm. The last piece of the puzzle is in place.’

Just another step in the deconstruction and pussification of the US.

When ‘they’ try to start the draft in 10 years BECAUSE our military will be full of Women, Queers and Nerds, the giving of High ‘Awards’ for not peeing in your rack will be running rampant.
The ‘virile’ young men, who used to chomp at the bit to ‘get away from the above’ will now stay away from the Military in droves.

Of course, I am assuming there will be a Military, if so it will probably be some 9-5 Organization that won’t fight at night.
Then the only alternate is to hire Mercenaries to ‘fight our battles’.
You people FOR these changes ought to read up on such fine outcomes of say ‘The Roman Empire’ when the citizens were deemed either to weak or to lazy to defend themselves.

We are setting ourselves the same course.

To be fair(hate this word unless it is preceded by County or State), I would assume the surviving Vets from Spanish American War, WWI and WWII thought the same of us young lads that joined in the late 50’s....

Your faith in Obama choosing her with the goal of enhancing military readiness and America’s ability to fight wars, is not shared by me.

Wow. You're a mind reader too? Just damn!

It is what you are expressing on this thread, you support Obama's nomination.

I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion that your support of his nomination was with the thought of her enhancing military readiness and America’s ability to fight wars.

I personally don't think that Obama would have chosen her unless he thought that the choice was good for the left's agenda.
