History has clearly proven there are many woman that chose a combat role and in life or death situations came out the winner.
I know, this sounds sexist in it’s best politically correct sense, but these are not your typical women. The typical woman is very feminine and frail and just not built for combat. I watched many of them in the service. Built to be a mechanic? Yup. But about half of them will let a male counterpart carry their tool box. And an good percentage wind up getting pregnant, probably by the guy carrying her toolbox.
Then there is the tippy-toeing around the males have to do to keep out of hot water from the feminist ones. I recall a true story where some male AF cops had a private discussion about their dogs. The guy who owned the breeders referred to the female dogs as “bitches”, which is a correct term. A female AF cop, not a party to the conversation, overheard the word “bitch” and turned them in for an EEO complaint. I personally knew the woman, she was a feminist.
My point is, if you can weed out all the political correctness in the military, and have women join up to serve just like the male counterparts with out special treatment. Then yes. Women do belong. But until political correctness is done away with. NO, women do not belong. The military is not a social experiment.
Now with regards to Trump going to the commanders to find out, that is just ridiculous. Commanders are people, if they can kiss butt to go up the ladder, and say the right things, they’ll do it.
I still support Trump, but he just got another negative point. I’m getting closer to being a full time Cruz supporter.
Regarding the story above about the feminist and the word “bitch”, the feminist was the first person to tell me the story so I know it was true. The guys were not formally disciplined, but were severely reprimanded with the net effect of their morale going down the tubes.
Women do not belong in Army infantry line units or Marine units who beat the bush killing the damn enemy. This women in Special OPS in BS. I was in both and I have never met a woman, even the ugliest meanest witch, who could do the job.
Same here.
Just think what an opportunity this was to say "no, I support women in the military, but on the infantry front lines? I don't think it's wise to force the generals to do this. "
Men have, or should have, an innate protective sense when it comes to their women, I guess mine just kicked in".
Cruz supported women in combat as did ALL.
Read what Trump said. It’s a lot like your sentiments.
I believe that all should serve not necessarily in combat positions, but if a woman can do the job with NO special accommodations let her. Threaten a woman’s children and see what a combatant she can be.
