Where do the Romney boys and the Sununu boys stand on putting women into combat?

Where do the Trump boys stand on putting women into combat?

And I apologize for using “coward” on you. I get somewhat unreasonable when some folks on this forum even suggest that women should be drafted.

I need to moderate my responses.

Nah, that’s okay. I get kind of pissy sometimes!

I am totally in favor of certain wymyn being conscripted. And no
support MOSes either.

I want to see SJWs, college professors and teachers, reporters
actresses, activists and femicommie wymyn of every leftist stripe drafted and put into combat arms roles. They would make excellent troops
to walk pount as they are so much smarter and better than men.

I’m sure that sounds like a fitting revenge of some sort to you but all it would do is get our good troops killed and get battles lost. You should know - assuming that you have some service experience - that relatively few young men have the brights, the instincts, the talent for effective combat. The untalented die pretty quickly and usually take some good ones with them.

Warfare is not a dumping ground for the young people you can casually get rid of: it’s where you expend the very best men with rare qualities that you can’t afford to lose.

Even if some women could excel in combat, it wouldn’t be worth it in terms of cost to accommodate them, lack of readiness due to higher injury rates and pregnancy, loss of unit cohesion, and so on. I have no military experience, but I can read and listen to people like Chainmail, and draw on their experience.

The only reason I favor draft registration for women in an era of women in combat is ladies can’t have their cake and eat it too. You want equality? Let’s give it to them, good and hard. Maybe then mothers and fathers will rise up and shout “Enough!”

Precisely. How piss poor the average young GOP male is.
