It’s a real shame this change wasn’t made in time for our grandmothers to scale Pointe du’Hoc.

I served. I’m older. I want “everyone” younger to serve so as to protect me and mine. Good.

My Mother was the kindest and most gentle soul one could imagine.

When we lived on a farm she would take a chicken and wring it’s neck like it was nothing. She grew up on a large farm and that was just the normal way of living.

If they can do the job so well, have an entire platoon, made solely of women. Send ‘em to the Korengal or Helmand. Am sure they will distinguish themselves....

Don’t know why. Are they really needed? Seems like all the gays in the military would have filled all the slots in interior foxhole design by now. What is that MOS anyhoo?

Marxism-—pretending males and females are exactly the same. It is evil, dehumanizing, irrational ideology and will destroy the Worldview of Christianity which created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution where the dignity of male and female can never be violated.

Natural Law Theory is the basis of US Law and there is no Reason in pretending women are males and there is no individual unique characteristics in females or males.

This unnatural, removal of Reason and stripping people of their uniqueness (natural sexual identity) is EVIL and is Unjust Law/regulation which defies Natural Law (Science/Reason). It is unconstitutional.

All Just Laws promote public virtue——not insanity and removal of Reason which is always unjust law: unconstitutional.

Nothing but removing Reason from Law——usurping Rule of Law for Rule of Man. It is all cr*p and unconstitutional.

Can you imagine drafting some of more enthusiastic urban women? That would be something to watch.

There’s probably only a handful of women in the entire world that could handle Ranger School. Unless they dumb it down. Boy, I wonder what will happen...

I doubt there is a single woman in the world who could pass

And that is why they will lower the standards.

And the fist thing to go will be one standard for all because the girls can't compete on even terms with boys. Therefore we dumb down the training regimen until the girls can pass. This is total, utter Bravo Sierra.

What's next, Navy SEALs?
