Better be careful, BenLurkin is reading and may analize your angry POV and find latent homphobia or something.

I suppose women in combat could be OK if their unit was 100% women. I personally do not want a woman next to me in combat, whether she wants to be there or not. That's not saying that the right tough woman couldn't convince me otherwise and earn my respect for her combat worthiness.

I have two sons in the military and daughter who wants to go to the AF Academy. I have have spoken with more than a few women in the military, I quite frankly dont believe you.

[Blue Collar Christian]

For sure!

[Blue Collar Christian]

I agree word for word.

[apackof2]

Your kidding, right?

Or are you just a disputor?

[Blue Collar Christian]

In my job in the Army I can say the same.(signal intel)

In what capacity did you and these competent women serve?

[iconoclast]

Listen, if you want to standards to be equal

I, for one, will settle for that .... if they are PRE-PC standards!

[apackof2]

Well said

No, he reveals himself as chivalrous man. Sadly, a truly endangered species

I join you in sadness, however they are still here.
Joe is in the category of chivalrous men

I suppose you would have been first on board a lifeboat on the Titantic. sigh

Bless you and your unadulterated commonsense Motherbear.

We're supposed to believe that someone's mother being killed is worse than their father being killed.

Actually I've heard that a mother's influence is more important for young children. And the father's influence is more important during the teen years.

History of Free Republic

[BenLurkin]

LOL!

But, do you have reasons behind your opinions?

[iconoclast]

So what kind of a rule is it that the previous President can pass for the military and the next President cannot remove?

I think it's the old no-cajones Republican cop-out rule.

Female soldiers should have to pass the same physical tests as males, and no we should not lower the standards for everyone in order to encourage this not-so-affirmative action.

I concur with this. But be aware that the vast majority of service positions don't require the ability to wrestle a grizzly down 2 out of 3! In reality most service positions require a certain level of physical fitness that is above that of the civilian population, but not extreme. 80% of women can meet these criteria without lowering standards. Techs, clerks, and mechs don't need to pass the SEAL test.

In the past, soldiers in the ranks were not allowed to marry without permission of their leaders.
The pay was not enough to support a family. Warriors of less rank are normally younger then the leaders and in a position that is more exposed to danger.
It would be a good idea to reconsider our rules on marrige/family and government support for a family in our armed forces.
I don't believe in the Hillary Clinton view of "It take a village"
I like the AC Delco advertisment where the man has started taking care of his kids education prior there birth.

[iconoclast]

it is not that I am a coward, but that I am a bitter young white man who sees no true happiness or success in the future thanks to political correctness, socialist schools/colleges, socialist/government supported and created anti-white/anti-male laws (including the draft), and increasingly higher taxes (mainly social-security) which I will be forced to pay so that some old geezers can live it up without working.

And to top it all off all the stress created by all this will probably send me to a early grave, via a heart-attack. I doubt I will live to see 40.

You are pathetic.

I sincerely hope you get a grip and take charge of your life.

Our culture is a mess .. but you must not surrender!

>>Maybe she wanted it to be her business.... <<

PFC Piewesta brought 2 children into the world and from all I can tell, she did so without a father present in the home. THAT was her business. I personally find it repugnant that feminists think its a woman's business to birth babies into the world irresponsibly (no father) and then further argue that it is these women's "business" to choose to make orphans out of their children.

I'm sorry PFC Piewesta is dead. I am even more sorry for her poor little children. And I am even more sorry yet for all the future fatherless children feminism will create while insisting it's a woman's business to do so.

If women could do the things men were designed to do as well as men can do the things men were designed to do, it would mean the Designer made a mistake. The Designer makes no mistakes.

[MikeAtTheShore]

So you speak for the designer......
