“If we’re asked what our best military advice is on that, we’ll make that known at that time,” Neller said Wednesday at a defense forum in Washington, D.C.

*********************************************************

In other words, PLEASE PLEASE President Trump ..... request “our best military advice”!!

Damn right.

My son based out west in the Marine Corps said they just got their first 3 women for a combat unit training, . They are AV mechanics or operators, and two of the women can’t even pass, or anywhere near pass their PT for the job.
The third passed, but only because she was close to passing, not because she did really pass.

After the instructors saw them trying to pass the PT, the recruiters said they should never have even been there, and are wasting everyone’s time, plus possible lives in the future.

Just to sadd, during MCT, and boot camp the women are treated differently, and at the Crucible the final test for Marines the women take their back pack off and actually just hike in while the vehicle behind them carries the pack.

Question to the military people here. Would you feel OK in a squad with a couple females in it on the battlefield?

HELL NO.
This crap of if the women can pass the tests like the men is OK is all B/S.
The fact is when you put a couple of women with a bunch of guys it creates drama, and the unit cohesiveness goes down, plus PC now comes into it.

My best friend who served two tours in Iraq said the same plus, he said who would want to get into a firefight with a bunch of female in the squad knowing full well they are not capable of pulling you out physically if you are hit.

Remember how the Left criticized Trump for ‘dissing’ military Generals.

Gee, then whey is Trump appointing so many Generals to his Cabinet?

LOL!

Women are drama period period period

Just look at them on the news

Watch women talk shows for a day or better yet women’s reality shows

A group of women is gonna be petty and possibly cruel to one another

More so if under say 70

I’ve lived my life trying to deal with this

Herding cats
