New coed guard duty causing ruckus at Guantánamo high-value prison
Miami Herald ^ | October 16, 2014 | BY CAROL ROSENBERG

The military now has female soldiers escorting former CIA captives around Guantánamo’s high-value prison, an apparent personnel change that defense lawyers say is causing an uproar over religious insensitivity.

When one captive — who had just finished meeting with his attorney — refused to be touched by a female soldier, the military called in a special unit to move him using the detention center’s tackle-and-shackle technique, a Forced Cell Extraction.

Female U.S. troops are still excluded from detainee groin searches and showers, the detention center’s cultural advisor said Thursday. “These are male-female issues; it has nothing to do with culture or religion,” he said.

If the SOB will not obey and submit to the lawful orders of a female, then he should be shot by the female.
Dying by a female denies him his 72 virgins is paradise.

Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) was designed to be more functional than the old green fatigues. Starch and ironing are a big no/no as they, theoretically, degrade the camo effect.

I sstarted readint his article thinking, "Problem because of females' much lower upper-body strength? Because of females' reduced access to adrenalin-testosterone synergy to meet a threat? Because of females' tendency to have more combat-unready days because of everything from menstrual cramping to shin splints?"

And then I read: "... causing an uproar over religious insensitivity."

No wonder all the social satirists are unemployed. Life keeps trumping satire.

The covers on backwards to allow the face shield (blue strap). It’s either a globe/anchor or a 1st/2nd class petty officer’s eagle and chevrons, but I can’t ever remember navy MPs in that getup.

I thought the Marines ran that particular compound, but there’s plenty of navy on Gitmo, so I could see supplemental coming from there and a common uniform required.

Does that sailor in the photo have his/her cover on backwards? The military has gone done the tubes. What a shame.

The answers are YES, YES and YES............

I thought he had it on backwards because of the wearing of a face protector.

You are correct. Let women handle these thugs. Did we care if we let Jewish Solidiers handle Nazi POWs?

Too damn funny!!!

I ALWAYS LOVE IT when PC meets PC, as in here. So what is to be done - go to all-men and get the feminists angry, or stick with men/women and keep the Muslims angry?

They turn them around when wearing face protection. The prisoners spit and throw feces and urine in their faces.

Our staff down there should study up on the things that these guys don't like.  Then they should implement them in mass.

Anything that makes these guys less comfortable, should not be the exception.  It should be the goal.

You know, if I ran the place there wouldn't be a Koran within the walls of the prison.

I would also limit severely any contact with the outside world, attornies and the like.

These guys get too much information from what I've noticed.

Yard time?  Why?  Why do we treat terrorists so nicely?

Those pictures look really old. I haven't seen a military person wear black boots in many years. The camo patterns also look really old.

I kind of like having women assigned as guards. If the women are too weak to handle the prisoners, then give them guard dogs. We should never lose an opportunity to show who is making the rules. You don't break someone down by giving respect to their sensibilities.

Our military is stuck on stupid. They had to know this would cause a ruckus.

If it is unimportant that Christians are upset over being compelled to take part in gay weddings, then it is equally unimportant that Muslims are upset over being guarded by women.

In short: "F***'em".

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

I can see all the retired wardens are on this thread.

In a typical prison women have been working on the line with male inmates since the 70s.

Women don’t usually strip search men and vis a verse in women’s prisons. Sometimes it’s a nuisance to have to make accommodations depending on how many staff you have on at a given time.

However, they do pat downs, restraint and whatever.

Here’s a good rule, if you don’t want to be touched by guards, stay out of prison.

Salam Alakim

The Israelis have remotely aimed machine gun turrets on the border with Lebanon. Incoming terrorist turkey shoot.

These are aimed & fired solely by IDF female soldiers. Achmed can’t get his eternal booty if he’s offed by a woman.

I’d like to hose those Gitmo muzzies down with pig grease.

Agreed - I’d select the dykiest females and swishiest males I could find to assign for regular contact. Everything I could do to ensure they prisoners stayed at a high state of irritation. I’d train pigs as guard dogs for the perimeter. One meal per week would include a low dose of Viagra to keep them stirred up with no source for relief and schedule whatever dyke was on the rag to do an extended interrogation session an hour after the meal.

Several of you great Freepers have advised me about wearing the military cover backwards to accommodate the face mask. I really appreciate your comments and am happy to learn something new everyday.

I guess after spending 30 years in the military and retiring many years ago (1997) we had different TTPs (Read: Tactics Techniques and Procedures) for behavior modification of POWs. How times have changed.
