Pentagon considering affirmative action in combat

Senior military personnel are considering now giving women different military training than men, The Washington Times reports.

The effort was proposed by Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Niki Tsongas at a recent House Armed Services Committee hearing because so far, she says training systems do not “maximize the success of women.”

Though the armed services have promised that combat standards will be the same regardless of gender, senior officers are considering initially separate training systems.

Army Lt. Gen. Howard Bromberg, serving as deputy chief of staff for personnel, considers separate training programs to be more about considering all soldiers as individuals, citing a need to explore how the training process works.

“We’re not looking at it just for the integration of women,” Bromberg said. “We’re looking at it for the total soldier, because just as you have a 110-pound male who may lack some type of physiological capability or physical capability, he or she may both need to be trained differently. We’re trying to expand our understanding of how we train.”(continued)

Is that how our enemies and potential enemies train?

21st Century Comfort Women???

Let them die in combat; they aren’t dying for the country we know & love.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Makes sense if the new military is going to be nothing more than a glorified global meals-on-wheels.

[2banana]

We all knew it would come to this.

Lower and lower the standards until the “right amount” of women can pass.

Like every police and fire department in America.

Too bad our enemies won’t care how sensitive and PC we are.

I was wondering how the Feminazis were going to get around the training rigors. Now we see. Seperate them, then elevate them. What could possibly go wrong?

Separate but equal: bad.

Separate but more equal: good.

They need to register for selective service as well. Time for them to reap it.

[Army Air Corps]

BUMP!

I had to register at 18, so should the ladies.

[Chode]

100%

[EEGator]

Myself as well. Enjoy equality ladies.

Mom and I were watching the news and they were saying the Air Force will face a shortage of fighter pilots. I joked with her, "maybe I'll become one!" Despite me being 47 and terminally nearsighted, although the 1980's era kid in me would love to fly an F-15, I'd never get in but Mom said, "I'd never let you die for Obama."

I had a co-worker who wanted to join the military when he turned 18, his Vietnam Vet father said, "if you join, I'll beat you to a pulp and disown you." Sad to say we have come to that feeling like my mother and his dad. B-(

The Joints Chief of Staff has devolved into just another politically correct government bureaucracy. It is staffed by adept socially climbing careerists and no real line warriors. What warrior’s council that was really concerned about the nations defense would endorse women in combat and homosexuals throughout the ranks?

[Nowhere Man]

They need to register for selective service as well. Time for them to reap it.

As more of a right-leaning libertarian, I don't favor the draft or registration but all things being equal, I do see your point.

[Pining_4_TX]

Only liberal women should be required to register. We conservative women didn’t want this.

[EEGator]

I’m mostly the same as you politically, but I registered so now they can too.

P.S. FF VII is awesome.

[montanajoe]

Every American that dies in combat needs to be revered and remembered for their sacrifice. If the idiots in Washington send a woman she deserves every bit of respect and thanks of the country as a male. To suggest anything else is pure bullshit..

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

I say make them adhere to the same grooming and appearance standards.

High and tight haircuts, no jewelry or makeup in uniform.

[EEGator]

And I didn’t want a Marxist Muslim as POTUS, but here we are.

It will probably take a couple thousand females getting blown up, beheaded, and raped on camera to fix this nonsense. It’s a terrible thought, but probably true.

[man_in_tx]

When will a General or Admiral speak out and resign, as they did in the days of yore?

This has gone way beyond a few stupid decisions.... This clearly is a deliberate subverting of our fighting forces.
