Flying ain’t humping the damn bush. Pilots go back to showers, O Club, and a bed. NOT THE DAMN Infantry or Marines.

I agree!
God bless you.

Trump is being schooled by some tough, no nonsense military folks

He will come out on the right side of this

He hates all the pc crapola going on.

I think it was disgusting that not one candidate said women are not designed for combat and are to be protected.

Yeah, I hear you! Thank God Ted Cruz [who wasn't questioned at the debate] would consider restoring combat ban for women as president.

Bring back chivalry to America!

Vote Ted Cruz 2016!

you said humping the bush I’ll agree with you there no arguments,, but there are other considered front line duties that women can fill easily.. like weather officers on combat ships.. electronic engineer officers on planes and ships ect ect.. in combat areas... some of the very best tank commanders the Russians had in WW2 were women.. they were as good as the men

Women in ancillary and covert or Intel roles OK. It does me good to walk the streets of Ir Kodesh and see the IDF girls with their M4 Carbines. But please remember, Israel is surrounded by enemies: under siege. These girls are defending their homeland, from a real time existential threat. THAT is the proper context for women in combat. A nation that cannot field enough men to fight its foreign wars is not worthy of winning them. The tragedy of America is that even our leaders have gone under the yoke of wussification and are too scared to even talk like real men in a presidential debate.

Why didn’t he say that first!
The media twists his views by taking half a quote
Trumop needs to better prepare for this tactic

That discussion, on everyone’s part, was the most ludicrous. NOT ONE of them stood up against the feminist regime and stated FACTS about the differences between men and women biologically.

IT’S A CROCK. Where was mr. tell-it-like-it-is, I will build up the military except to put men’s lives in jeopardy within the structure of the system itself.

Read other threads and posts by Freeper vets about having women doing certain jobs. Come to think of it,

the Pentagon and each branch has to set a minimum requirement for each MOS just as the civilian business world does to PREVENT INJURY and meet safety standards.

Face it, within the platoon the largest guy carries the SAW. And hey, there are field artillery and tank jobs women just cannot be assigned.

Trump reveals his own military inexperience here.

Donald Trump: politically incorrect except when he’s not. And, once again, being on both sides of the issue in one answer.

Fighting a war is life or death. If women are not physically capable they will be killed. Women would have to meet the standard or they will be killed in combat. They would also place men in danger if women are not up to the physical standards required for combat. Many men would be killed. The generals have to be very careful about women in combat.

Sorry folks. A person is either a complete idiot, or a PC loving so and so to have an opinion like this. And probably a mix of both.

A woman should never be in combat arms. I’m not going thru the list of things why. From personal experience and from that of my brother, father, and my many Army brothers out there; just know that women in combat is beyond retardation.

There is nothing about it for women. Add I might send some out on ambush that night in the bush, too. Add a couple of LP’s 9listening posts) with two men each.

The title is a bit misleading. Trump would support women in combat positions if the Generals made that decision. Again, from the supposed loose cannon on the stage, a sensible answer which addresses the situation in a meaningful way.
