Are they lesbians? At any rate, my guess is this will not go well.
I would expect at least 35-40% casualty rates for this force, as a bunch of guys will die trying to save and defend the women.
Any truth to the rumor that Demi Moore will be the new C.O.?
Fools in charge.
Similarly, there is a huge push to get a woman into the Navy Seals. This stuff is what preoccupies Obama’s military goals.
One has to wonder what would drive a woman to volunteer for combat specialty training... ?

This is an outrage!

I assume that combat effectiveness might drop for about 3-4 days each month.

"Our Country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now
there won't be any AMERICA because some foreign soldiery will
invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race!"-- Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC
Chesty Puller is most decorated U.S. Marine in history. He is also the only Marine to receive five Navy Crosses.
A Few Good Women. If 25% is good, 100% is four times as good.
That breaks down to men doing the digging, heavy lifting and hauling, and the women holding the clipboards.
Call me a conspiracy nut.......when women start coming home by the score in body bags, the American Public will decide war is not the answer. All part of the plan to destroy this Nation.
On 20 November 1943, during the horrific fighting on Betio atoll during the battle of Tarawa, two Japanese tanks mounted a counterattack against the fragile Marine toehold on Red Beach 3. The Marines were huddled there at the base of a seawall in the face of withering fire from Admiral Keiji Shibasaki’s fanatical Japanese Naval Landing Force defenders who were slaughtering hundreds of their 2nd Marine Division comrades in Betio Lagoon during 76 hours of some of the most savage fighting in the history not only of the Marines, but the US armed forces.
Marine anti-tank gun crews were trying to figure out how to get their 912 lb 37MM M3 antitank guns over the 7 foot plus seawall. The battery commander ordered his 5 man crews to LIFT them over. Being Marines who always obeyed even seemingly impossible orders, they did EXACTLY that and promptly knocked out the tanks. They then engaged several enemy bunkers whose dual purpose guns were repeatedly knocking out the approaching landing craft and put them out of action. Finally they routed a local counter attack of 200 or so Japanese against the south shore of Red Beach 3 with canister shot, all of this at a critical and precarious point in the landing.
Whats that about upper body strength being not as important in modern warfare anymore and that women are just as likely to be able to do the job of combat infantry?
I mean no disrespect to the female perssonnel of the US Armed Forces who have served and ARE serving their nation honorably and well. I respect them as fellow vets and comrades in arms. Policy decisions are above their level for the most part.
But as a matter of POLICY, I think that women should be excluded from the armed forces for the most part, with a few exceptions and COMPLETELY from combat and most combat support roles, particularly when the armed forces are a small percentage of the total population, as is the case now. The use of significant numbers of women should be reserved for large scale mobilization as was the case in WWII. The population base is more than twice as large now as then and there would be no problem securing a sufficient number of qualified men with appropriate incentives for such a relatively small armed forces.
The advantages for the armed forces, particularly the Army would be greater flexibility as to how personnel can be deployed in combat emergencies and other contingincies and a lesser logistical strain as involves clothing, barracks and housing, and innumerable other considerations that are exclusive to the maintenence of large numbers of women. I think morale and discipline would also be improved as well.
The courts have repeatedly ruled that the armed forces are exempted from many of the equal opportunity requirements of the civillian world, and for the very good and sufficient requirements that are unique to the armed forces. This contretemps is being propelled largely by the cultural marxist wing of gender equity feminism who wish for the placement of a leftist Chairwoman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The resultant detriment of the ability of the armed forces to fight plays no consideration in their calculus, other than as an peripheral side benefit.
The words Experimental do not go well with the words TASK FORCE
Will this be handled by Obamascare Navigators Laid Off while waiting for ObamaPremiums to be paid?
Buraq Obama and the followers of the Wizard of Odd are clearly not done Fundamentally Transforming The Sane World
