Leftist social engineers never account for reality in their planning. The enemies we are most likely to face don’t have women in combat slots and they aren’t making the barracks safe for lavender. The fact that no successful military in history has put women in combat has escaped Pentagon HR planners completely. Brunhilde, and Ripley for that matter, were only a myth.

When conflict occurs armies aren’t matched according to brackets or seeds. If that were the case we could volunteer to fight the Isle of Lesbos and leave it at that. The obvious solution for sexual assault in the military is fewer females in close proximity to males or at least a more accurate survey, but with this administration neither is likely to happen.

I think I don’t like women in combat and for a lot of reasons. But doesn’t the Israeli Army have women in combat?

I don’t know.

It makes no sense for civilization to put potential mothers into death dealing combat.

I think women should be given combat roles when men give birth to children.

More people are going to get killed. But what do the civilian politicians care? It’s more important to surrender to the feminists.

Maybe DoD should try testosterone therapy. You know, a shot each week. That should give them the aggression necessary to execute three pull ups. Ummm, maybe not. That could get very dangerous on a large scale. /s/

Joan of Arc?
Amazon Warrior Women?
The Wild Women of Borneo?

I wouldn’t mess with ANY of them. ;)

When faced with the reality that women can’t pass the test, Congress and Pentagon paper–pushers will change the test until they can pass.

Women should not be assigned to combat slots. Period.

But I fully believe the Obama administration and top ranking military officers will lower standards until women will be assigned combat slots.

The Soviet Army put women in combat.

Ask the people of the former East Germany if the Red Army had a successful campaign.

I wonder what history tells us about fags in the military.

(Is "fag" not politically correct? Oh well. You'd think I hate them but I don't. I have friends that are "gay". But I HATE the fag agenda.)

Funny and possibly surprising story: I worked with a guy that was openly gay and talked about his "partner" all the time. This guy was also a born-again Christian. (Yup, God's grace is amazing. He doesn't deny anyone who comes to Him and He starts from the inside out, regardless of what man thinks.) He was a pretty nice guy and people generally liked him. Anyway, one day, for some reason, he got up out of his cubicle, stood up, looked down the hall, and declared loudly, "I'm a faggot." It was actually pretty funny. Again, Jesus and I don't hate the people. I mean, I know they're screwed up but we all need help one way or the other. What I hate is calling deviant behavior normal and a sick lifestyle healthy. And I certainly hate the political/legal/social agenda.

What?? Those Wonder Woman comic books aren’t true stories?

Females bring their weakness to support jobs as well.

Trucks drivers can't change their own tires, they can't lift and move things, even large kitchen pots, and here for instance are shells that weigh about 93 pounds each, females are not strong, and being in the rear, or being in front doesn't change that.

I suppose we could allow women to push a shopping cart into combat or issue ‘spinner’ luggage. But that won’t work either because after she fills the bag with shoes there won’t be any room for equipment.

It was a persuasive argument up to this point.
