Rep. Loretta Sanchez is a ditz for saying women in frontline combat will stengthen our military and nation.
“Opening up all roles to women will ultimately strengthen the military and our nation”
How, Ms. Sanchez?
Mabus has three daughters..I wonder if he is promoting them to be in combat units?
The ought to ask Mabus, since he wants everything all perfectly equal and all, is he also going to implement mandatory draft registration for females over 18, just like males have to do.
Exactly...I’d bet he doesn’t it that equal.
want it that equal.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and the likewise corrupt presidents that they refuse to remove from office along with it.
In every single case where positions were opened to women, the standards were subsequently lowered. Insufficient women could meet the established standards, so in order to meet the political numerical numbers, the standards were lowered.
Put Sanchez in a set of fatigues and send her ass to a line unit full of other women and lets see what happens.
2018
Will women allow themselves to be drafted?
No
The moment the Marines are required to do something that is likely to involve heavy casualties the women will be withdrawn first.
Not because of performance concerns, but because the nation won’t tolerate large numbers of young women killed or maimed.
She’s thinking outside of the traditional win/lose box when it comes to warfighting. Our nation and military will be stronger because these policies will advance her social agenda.
Of course, once we get into a real fight with muslim fanatics that won’t surrender to units with women, or any power that can match or neutralize our advantages in C3 and support, the nation will become stronger as it unites to grieve the male and female lives lost in our latest military defeats.
Crazy idea.
This country will never see a draft again; it has no moral authority to do so, and the last time we had one those who dodged the draft were pardoned. In fact, at this point I’d be the first one to challenge it on discriminatory grounds; they can take women before they presume to send one of my sons on their misguided adventures.
They can’t let these terrorists flood this country then expect people to willingly be drafted to fight them halfway around the world.
And then those Marines will be in even more danger, unless, as some us believe, those women were merely placeholders anyway. Of course, what will make the difference is whether the male Marines were able to prepare under that assumption (whether overtly or covertly).
And where is all of this going?
The way our military is regressing under the Obama Administration, we will soon see Army and Marine Infantry squads made up of a mixture of heterosexual and homosexual males along with heterosexual and lesbian females. Now, if that isn’t a nightmare scenario, nothing could be.
Active Duty ping.
The battle over homosexuals in the military was lost, and the battle over females in combat is being lost, because we are compelled to argue the issues through the lens of liberalism.
What I mean by that is, the liberals view these military matters as issues of “civil rights” or “equal rights” as would be applied in civilian life. The liberals do not make allowance for the fact that the military has specific missions to carry out, and that the military is very different from civilian life. The liberals say it is “discrimination” to not allow females in combat, or to be Navy Seals, or to disallow homosexuals in the military, but they are not considering the mission of the military as they argue these points.
And with a liberal media filter, the issues are presented to the American people as issues of fairness, civil rights, equality, etc. as if the military were civilian life. Such discrimination would no be allowed in civilian life, so the liberals state, so how can the military justify such discrimination????
That’s where we are, in my opinion. We are left to discuss the issues from a liberal point of view which states that any regulations of who may do what military tasks are discrimination, and that the military are put on the defensive to justify themselves. It’s a crazy way to make military policy, in my opinion.
She’s probably PMSing...
You nailed it, a nightmare scenario is exactly right.
