I disagree. When the defecation hits the ventilation, combat Marines and soldiers will take care of any problem queers in very short order. Always have, always will. And don't forget that homosexuals comprise less than 2% of the population, so I don't expect a great number of them to pour into infantry units. The problem shouldn't exist, but the troops will take care of it in combat.
Women are a different and far more destructive problem altogether, and an increasingly systemic one. Their sheer numbers have already degraded training standards and operational effectiveness, as planners must take into account - without daring to admit - the inability of women to perform vital physical tasks at the level of even the weakest males. And let's not kid ourselves - the weakest males are slaughtered in ground combat. So the bureaucrats surge ahead, determined to insert women into the most brutal environment of infantry combat, where battles are won by the application of sheer force and ferocious brutality by the very strongest and most aggressive males. There is no way to overstate the horror of close combat, or the total unfitness of women to engage in it.
It pains me to see naive American parents proudly send their daughters to the Army and the Corps as if they were real soldiers or Marines. They are not. Though these fine young ladies may wear the same uniforms and earn the same pay and even thrive in the artificially rigged, gender-neutral environments where their physical weaknesses are masked or ignored, they are not the same as the males who are actually capable of and ultimately must fulfill the fundamental duties of soldiers and Marines. We were honest when WACs and Women Marines were recognized for filling support roles that didn't require the full qualification of soldiers and Marines.
If anyone thinks this argument sounds "sexist" or misanthropic, he should witness close quarter combat with hands, feet, knives and clubs, in which many strong men are killed. Even without life and death on the line, the National Football League does not field girls - and everyone knows why. Americans are fooling themselves with this dangerous fantasy of a feminized military. They are fooling a generation of American girls into believing they can do things they clearly cannot, and they are they are fooling the American people into believing that a feminized military can win desperate and protracted wars against our strongest and most determined enemies.
In world record sports, men don't just run a little faster than the best women runners in the world, they run a lot faster, as in 20 minutes faster in finish. Same thing with weight lifting. They don't just beat the best women in the world by a little bit, they beat them by a lot.
We women have our strengths in other areas, ones that guys can't touch. They need us to thrive as much as we need them. Combat is their job. We have a different one, whether we like it or not.
I say the "women" who pursue combat status are girls. Real women know when they're in the way of men's business.
Harrrrumph!
