Rep. Hunter: Why we must give careful consideration to a 'gender neutral' military [opinion]
FoxNews ^ | January 9, 2016 | Rep. Duncan Hunter

Evidently, to the White House, the findings within reports and surveys are subjects of convenience. They only matter when they conform to the broader agenda, otherwise they're meaningless. The dismissal of the Marine Corps and special operations community in the gender integration process is proof of this fact.

It's imperative that each job maintains the highest standards and continue developing the highest quality personnel, regardless of gender, quotas or any other benchmark.

The significance of this process requires more thoroughness and evaluation than what's been given so far, including whether women will now be eligible for the selective service. That alone is sure to be an issue of contention. It's also an issue the White House didn’t care to weigh.

I’m sure all of the bad guys around the world are losing sleep at night worrying about whether their military is “gender neutral.”

There is no such thing as “gender neutral” men are men and women are women and they are not the same. These libs just need to get over trying to make men women and women men. It’s just bizarre, their obsession over this stuff.

Why is this still an issue? Anyone who has watched Hollywood movies for the past 20 years knows that women are superior warriors anyhow.

Oh, yeah! This former Marine mom can still whoop her Marine son...not. He’s 6’3 and I’m 5’4. How the hell would I get him if he was wounded? Bulldozer?

I have no problem with women in combat units/jobs as long as two things occur: 1) standards remain the same as now and women must meet them without any help not given to men. 2) The minute all combat jobs/units become open to women, then all women must register for the draft just like men. Unless those two criteria are met, I’m against it.
