Gen. Dempsey: If Women Can’t Meet Military Standard, Pentagon Will Ask ‘Does It Really Have to Be That High?’
General Dempsey - why not create an all-female combat unit, and deploy them to someplace like the Korangal Valley?
You will then be able to prove the validity of your theories very quickly.
So this is going to be the dumbing-down of the US military.
The 2008 coup continues its systematic destruction of what used to be the United States of America.
Fundamental Transformation, baby. FTU Amerikkka.
Call it the Michael Moore Standard. No physical tests shall be more demanding than what Michael Moore could perform.
Only a day later and they’re already talking about lowering standards to accommodate the new lady grunts.
see!
already talk of lower standards.
“What difference does it make?” I guess they are expecting to have less men wanting to join the gay ranks, so they need to fill slots with women.
So the objective is no longer to be the best we can be. The objective is to be diverse and representative first, and to train up to whatever standard does not impinge on diversity goals.
This will get people killed.
Um, yes, you idiots.
What sort of mental disorders will result from male soldiers having to watch female soldiers being raped by the enemy? Shame on Panetta for endangering America’s military by promoting these crazy experiments on our soldiers.
The term ‘Fox Hole’ will take on a whole new meaning.
Somewhere in China the generals are smiling.
And, thus begins the final push to wreck what has been the best military in the world.
Kids can't pass their finals to graduate? Lower the standards. Too dumb to get into college? Lower the standards. People too fat to be accepted in the military? Lower the standards. Peaople can't meet the standards required of combat soldiers? Lower the standards.
Since lowering the standards for any institution or requirement that the left wants to destroy is what we do, why have them? Why (Constitution aside) have standards for POTUS, Congress, or SCOTUS? Why have standards for lawyers, teachers, dentists, doctors or engineers? Why bother seeking the best of the best instead of the next person in line? What's wrong with having a president who is 4 years-old (Obama)?
This is just the next step in the destruction of this country. As it stands now, our military has been so deeply cut and is stretched so thin that we would have a hard time defeating the military of Holland.
Ignorant foreign governments still send their military here to learn from us so that, in a future war, we may not only have to fight the enemy, but fight our own tactics and strategies as well. Smart. And, when foreign military students take their training elsewhere such as Russia, China or Germany, will that be a wake-up call for us? I doubt it. We will have lowered the standards so much that no one will understand the implications.
If lowering the standards is the left's answer to everything (including citizenship), why not drop the pretense that we're a real country? Let's drop everything that represents America and just become a giant commune with no rules, no borders and no requirements.
If you can't tell, I am beyond disgusted.
How about letting women serve in ‘combat’ units as soon as we have a female JCS or Secretary of Defense.
Ladies and faggots will now be our frontline defense against the barbarians at the gate.....and all our guns will belong to Holder. Good luck, America!
I knew this was coming. I just thought it would take a few days, maybe a week or two. It only took 24 hours.
All of these people, including the traitorous generals at the top, are deliberately eviscerating our military and our Country.
Riiight. That'll last about 15 seconds. Having lived under several regimes of dual-standard, affirmative-action chicanery, I feel well qualified when I say that once you accept the arguement that social justice goals trump reality, you cannot adhere to a high standard for all. Either you drop standards for some, creating a two-tier regime that engenders contempt and hostility, or you drop standards for all, dramatically lowering the effectiveness of the whole organizationm.
Obviously the DOD has bought into the social justice priority. This will lead to an inevitable and ultimately devastating degradation of the whole force.
If I had a child, I would stongly counsel them to forget any notion of serving in this military. Sorry kids, but we done lost the culture war. All that remains is for us to lose the real one, and I fear that is all but inevitable.
