The Obamafication of our Armed Forces continues.

Why not wymyn in the Rangers? They can bury dead Ebola victims like a man can, right?

Every American female from the age of 18 to 55 should now be required to register with the Selective Service. It’s only fair.

It's the new US armed forces.

A woman can fight Ebola just as good as a man, right?

Give’m the opportunity and let them flunk out. It will make the point much better than anything you could ever say.

For anyone who missed this thread it's a great essay written by a female Marine Capt.

I have watched Ranger training on “The History Channel”.

I doubt there is a single woman in the world who could pass.

They won’t flunk out. Alternative standards will be instituted or standards will be lowered across the board. You have to understand how these people think. They don’t take “no” for an answer.

In their mind, gender is a social construct which, with a little social engineering, can be overcome and male and female will be equal.

As in all other areas of the military, the standards will be lowered for the females.
