As you read the above article about the social experiment of allowing women in US marine combat roles just remember that Congress NEVER VOTED to allow women in combat. They let uber leftist Obama decide what was best for the Armed Forces and the spineless JCS went right along with him, knowing damn well that study after study said it would degrade the combat effectiveness of the services. Now the truth is coming out. Will a new US Congress controlled by republicans attempt to change this madness. Not on your life.
Active Duty ping.
Stick to the standards. Period.
“We want our armed forces to have lower standards.”
Do the leftists understand how stupid that sounds?
The left loves to f**k with My Marine Corps.
Women aren’t men, but like Obama, some men are women. He got confused, that’s all.
Stay Firm. Keep the Current Standards.
We’re going to find out if the Marines too have been “fixed” like poodles.
I checked with a few Marines. Each of them said they always lower their standards for women after four beers and within an hour of last call.
no no no!
Here we go. Who didn’t see this coming? Definitely not “unexpected”. Marines are going to die because of political correctness. DemocRATS can KMA!
It can’t be! Women and men are exactly alike, except women are smarter, of course. These patriarchal standards must be eradicated! There is no reason combat should be a physical endeavor. That’s like so medieval or something.
The truth is that many occupational specialties already lowered their physical standards to allow women, but allowances and avoidance can only take you so far. Everyone knows there are many men who can’t perform these positions either.
We’ve all been there when that weakling or fat bastard couldn’t do the job and they washed out. Age, sex and size matter when you’re required to do the heavy lifting. And there’s no getting away from heavy lifting when you may have to carry your 200 lb buddy off the field.
Why are any women let into the Marines?
It’s inevitable that standards will be lowered because otherwise there will never be enough women making it to satisfy the Left. A lowering of standards was hinted at from the get go when the policy change was made.
At first Panetta claimed that standards would not be lowered. Not long after that, Dempsey contradicted his boss and said that if standards prove to be too high for women then the service will have to justify and defend that standard. In other words, Dempsey was saying that the standards will be lowered.
I was a little surprised at him admitting this. I always thought it more likely that the standards would officially remain as they are, but that they’d be unofficially ignored as irresistible pressure to mint more women-in-combat from the top would filter its way down.
Having served in the Marine Corps for over nine years, I served with many good Female Marines.
However, biology is biology. MOST women are simply NOT capable of the same physical stress and extremes as MOST men - PERIOD!
I am a safety manager for a national electrical contractor. The fact is that women are more susceptible to electrocution than men. Women typically feel shock at 2/3 of the voltage which men feel it. It isn’t because they are incapable of being good electricians, it is because women typically have more water retention than men.
That little DAMN thing called B-I-O-L-O-G-Y just keeps getting in the way of all these feminazi, social-justice, everyone-is-equal-and-the-same SOCIALISTS!
When will these idiots stop trying to convince us that nature isn’t natural?!?
lower requirements means poorer combat efficiency - plain and simple
A month or so ago some numb-skull is caught punching his girl friend in and elevator - and a huge cry goes up about abusing women. (And I am in agreement)
Now there is a huge cry about lowering standards so more women can be in combat (Which I am completely against)
And anyone that supports both of these arguments is a complete asshat. Women shouldn't be punched by men, and women DO NOT belong in combat (Where many things worse than punching will occur.) But what do you bet many of the people condemning the punching are also demanding women be allowed in combat.
That’s what we need - wmpy Marines. Poor widdo wimmen./s
What a shock, they want to lower the standards!
Pressure from WHOM, exactly?
