They tried putting girls through Marine Corp basic training and they all failed.
On the battlefield you do not want some 120 lb feminist who got into the infantry because they reduced the physical requirements for her.
What combat leader would not want to replace his man warriors with a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version?
“In an age where U.S. hegemony is slowly decreasing and nations like China, Iran, and North Korea are building their conventional forces, citizens should be more interested in creating the strongest, best-trained, most ready infantry force to defend our national interests.”
Excellent article and whole-heartedly agree. The problem I have with this article is now those who are working so diligently to tear down our military and our national security will order that every platoon have 10% females to accomplish the disruption, demoralization, and destruction.
Best line.."women who want to serve in combat units are SELFISH.."
Here’s how I relate this to Ray Rice and his situation:
From watching the video, Janay Rice assaulted Ray first. He hit back. Well ladies (and I use that term loosely when it comes to the feminazis), that’s combat. You hit a guy, you better put him down because he might hit back.
If you want to serve in front line infantry, then be out front and demand repeal of all domestic violence laws. Put an end to all of this crying and whining about “battered women.” If you want to fight, then fight and shut up when you lose. Just don’t ask to have it both ways.
Me, I’m perfectly fine with them admitting they can’t fight and I’ll go back to believing that a man never, ever hits a woman like I was brought up to believe.
Depends on the army. If its the army that is going to nurse Ebola patients or provide meals to the starving then yes of course they should be in “combat”. If its the one that has to kill and destroy property, then no.
Interesting. She actually has a clue.
Women surely belong in the Armed Forces...they perform vital duties of all kinds.But they shouldn’t be in combat or even a combat zone (except,perhaps medical personnel and other specialized duties).I’ve never been in combat...or a combat zone...myself but I did serve during wartime so my opinion may,or may not,be worthy of consideration.
An excellent assessment by Capt Serrano, she truly gets it.
0bama’s minions pushing his social experiments in the military will not appreciate it.

Ironically, sadly, simultaneously, what about women on naval vessels?
Top leaders removed midway into deployment because of “a liberty incident that occurred in the Sixth Fleet area of operations”

suicide of woman from the ship

Reasons to not to put women in combat arms:
1) fraternization caused morale and combat effectiveness problems
2) casualties among the females caused morale problems with both males and females
3) males tried to protect the females and resulted in higher casualties for both
4) females tried to prove themselves, took more risks, and suffered disproportionally higher casualties
5) females were physically unable to match men's greater strength in field situations
The Canadian Forces have opened all branches of service to women, including infantry. In Canada, every infantry soldier candidate goes through a “selection” process similar to that the British Special Air Service (SAS) uses for its members. The last phase of the SAS selection process is a timed forced march in full kit — with a 60 lb. Bergen ruck sack and rifle (no sling) — through the Brecon Beacons in Wales. The Brecon Beacons is very, very rugged terrain. If you make it, you pass “selection”.
The Canadians have a similar “selection” process for infantry. So far only three females, AFIK. have made it through selection and re-qualification is done annually. Whether they are still active with the infantry I don't know. One female CDN Forces infantry captain won the Military Medal of Valour for actions in Afghanistan [2010]. The MMV is the third highest Canadian decoration. The Medal of Military Valour, abbreviated as MMV, is awarded to members of the Canadian Forces for “an act of valour or devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy”. This sounds like the American Bronze Star that is awarded for both combat (with “V” device) and non-combat actions.
Here is a pro-female in combat “puff” piece from the BBC about Captain Ashley Colette's MMV award: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24622762
Why Women Do Not Belong in the U.S.
Think ISIS.
And then, along comes news that MCRD Parris Island has a new CG. For the first time, the CG is a woman.
She nailed it...even in aircraft maintenance we had problems with females much like she describes.
Couldn’t handle their tool boxes, handle some of the aircraft parts, if even remotely attractive, they were a constant distraction, the “drama”, lost “manpower” due to pregnancies, etc., etc.
Some of the comments below the article speak to how well PC has corrupted our nation...they just can’t handle the truth.
What woman in her right mind would *want* to be in combat? Seeing what the Muslims do to their own women, I wouldn’t want to see what they’d do to our women. I guess they think war is some kind of game. Dulche bellum inexpertis.
