“Martis speaks gobbledygook”

Mattis certainly gave a convoluted response in this instance. Was he saying that soldier in combat are evil? Perhaps I misunderstood...

No, he was saying the nature of combat is evil, and the infantryman's world is savage.

He then continues to lay out the dichotomy - we live in an 'open society' where 'equality' is ostensibly desirable. "But we cannot do something that militarily doesn’t make sense...."

I don't see anything wrong with those statements. The environment needed to develop young men who can kick open a door and shoot some other young man in the face without second though is pretty savage, some could even say evil indeed.

We do live in an open society. Officers should look at the situation objectively and ensure that the military reflects American values while understanding "...we cannot do something that militarily doesn’t make sense...."

in other words some college student, Lt wannabe with just enough information to be dangerous tries to play stump the chump with SecDef.

No. Most of us are not familiar with the new Pentagon speak - used when mortals (aka civilians) ask real questions for which the Pentagon types will not answer ... It is called gobbledygook. Which is evasive and another way of saying they know best and have no intension of altering the social experiment no matter how many lives are lost - this is their baby and they are birthing it.

Mattis and his perfumed prince ilk have to go ...

No, he is saying that combat is hell and it’s no place for women. However, the feminazis want in so they can screw up this institution too. Now, even in non-combat situations, women have declared war on men by weaponizing their internalized biases against men. I know of one instance where a female non-performer launched a pre-emptive sexual assault charge against her superior to destroy the rating officer’s career. And, of course, in today’s military as elsewhere, all sexual complaints are automatically taken at face value. Women know it and they can have an officer relieved of command in a heartbeat. Do you have any idea how long it takes for these inquiries to be completed? Even if unfounded, with the long delays and innuendo, it’s the death knell to an officer’s career. Today, as in the general society, liberals have managed to promote raging divisions between men and women.

When dropped in to a minefield in the dark, the troop movement rarely appears to be a parade ground maneuver.
