>>How’s that going to work with females in your unit?

How does that work now with gay guys in your unit (there are plenty and they are not all out of the closet so you are not going to be able to tell)? whats the difference between that and a female in terms of modesty/privacy? What if the female is a lesbian? do you really think she wants to see your junk? I doubt it.

If a female is physically equivalent and held to the same standards as a male soldiers, I don’t have a problem with it - my guess is there will be very, very few that would be able to pass anyway. My only objection is holding *anyone* to a lower standard just so they can get a participation medal.

An honorable nation has a military to protect its women and children. We are going to send women and children into battle.

But women are equal to men in all ways and always have been. Just look at the movies with 90 lb. women kicking the Sh*t out of several 200lb men at the same time. Everyone knows it is true. This is just another conspiracy brought on by white men to continue to discriminate against women.

Captain Griest DID NOT ‘earn” a Ranger tab. It was virtually given to her with all the chances she and her fellow women had to pass the course.

While I’ve never been to war I do know that it is not glamorous and not something to mess around with just to virtue signal how enlightened you are. Unfortunately, the left are fools and have no limits to their destruction of anything that won’t comply with them.

We are being deliberately destroyed from the inside and our enemies are laughing at us in the process. These leftist fools will soon be shocked at the actions of countries like China & Russia, not realizing all we accomplish is emboldening them while making us weak.

Those that are doing it from a position of power are committing treason.

Well, civilized nations do. But so do immoral and debased nations, which is what we are.

Isn’t this Bigotry and Sexual Discrimination?

Only if men get off their butts and do something about it.
