Unless, of course, someone has decided that victory is no longer the goal.
Can’t wait for the first woman to hump the 81 mm mortar baseplate on a 15 mile hike. Should be interesting...
The ‘ONE’ will simply ordain an executive order mandating that women are physically equal to men, thus warping the laws of the universe so that the rainbow-unicorn army can succeed!
These anti-American jackasses have already put homosexuals in the barracks, women in the foxholes, and umbrellas in the hands of our beloved marines (didn’t they look embarrassed?).
Too bad that they have so much contempt for America and what made us great. May this administration go straight to hell.
I don’t understand why women can’t serve in combat. After all, when I got to the movies, all the Mila Jovich types can kick men’s a$$es$ at will. I’m sure ALL women could perform at that level if they really wanted to.
Is there a single active duty general or admiral protestng these changes, up to and including resigning their commissions?
“From the report of the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces (report date November 15, 1992, published in book form by Brassey’s in 1993):
“The average female Army recruit is 4.8 inches shorter, 31.7 pounds lighter,
has 37.4 fewer pounds of muscle, and 5.7 more pounds of fat than the average male recruit.
She has only 55 percent of the upper-body strength and 72 percent of the lower-body strength… An Army study of 124 men and 186 women done
in 1988 found that women are more than twice as likely to suffer leg injuries and nearly five times as likely to suffer [stress] fractures as men.”

What will be the response if women have a higher casualty rate.
