The Marines obviously received orders from Obama to enact quotas and to recruit women. The Marines are (were) the one service who mission was almost exclusively front line combat focused. Remember the slogan "We Are Looking For A Few Good Men?"

Well, now they are not looking for men. They have been told to recruit women.

Combat is frightening, dirty, demanding, and back breaking.

The women in the article said they wanted to be "pioneers." They believe their goal in life is to be "trail blazers." Reality is much harsher.

I am not saying women cannot serve. I flew with women pilots and served with women in the Air Force. Many of them were fantastic, and still are my friends. But a front line Marine should not be an Affirmative Action appointment.

This is lunacy and political correctness, which by its very definition denies Truth.

But all services have been actively recruiting women for decades with the intent of getting more in all fields. What’s new here?

I was in aircraft maintenance when they opened our career field to women. If it was an experiment, it would have failed.

I approve of this.

I think that the Marine Corps should exclusively recruit women -- and -- wink, nudge -- make sure that any sense of exclusion or prejudice lingering from before "don't ask, don't tell" -- is eliminated.

In fact, any such women should be formed into their own exclusive elite units.

...and the President Hillary can order the lot of them over to Syria or Libya to fight ISIS, and give them EXACTLY the same amount of close air support which she gave to Benghazi.

Because anything a boy can do, a girl can do better.
