only the beginning
yeah, kinda like the sun unexpectedly rising in the morning...
Any society that sends its women to fight before it sends its non-shaving boys and cane-borne old men deserves to be destroyed, and will be by societies that do not make that mistake.
100% damn Travis, you might have to change your call-sign to Nostradamus...
damn straight
The oddness of 60's feminism is that it claims to value women, but only when they act like men. This is actually an admission by feminists that men are superior. Feminism should be about valuing women and their contributions equally with men, not abandoning them and adopting maleness.
Communist liberals really do suck.
i'm getting sooooooo tired of this crap... they could suck a golf ball through a garden hose
I certainly would want to have some weak little girl, who is already hauling around 70 lbs of body armor, water, ammo, medical gear, optics, weapons, and comm gear, who couldn't pass the same PT I was required to, trying to haul my injured fanny out from under a ISIS ambush.
You spectacular idiot. Please go away. I'm REALLY TRYING to avoid the profane invective that is bubbling up, and the Corps gives a Phd in this skill...
Quick time marching is 120 steps per minute, 30 inch stride. This yields a speed of over 3 miles per hour. Also during my stint in the military, we learned that during a forced march you put the smallest troops at the front of the formation, since it would prevent them from falling behind. (But you already knew that.)
Does this mean our Marines are a lowered standard force because they accept women in combat positions?
Pants yes. Standards no!
As I remember, Rush had butt cysts when it was his turn to serve his country. He needs to avoid discussing subjects has is unfamiliar with.
Bulls Eye ..!!!!!
I’m sorry, but if you’re stupid enough to want to get in on lowered standards, you deserve to die. Endangering other people and yourselves is selfish.
For about 20 years I’ve been asking people that claim the females are the same as the males in the Marines, “if so, then we we could make 100% of the Marine Corps female, right?” in every single case, that question has flustered the person.
Evidently people think that women can serve, but unconsciously, they are assuming that the men will pick up the slack somehow, which means that somewhere buried inside them, they know the truth.
We have seen this over and over the last 60 years, people being led by the media and Hollywood to bury their own sense of reality, and follow the crowd.
The two newly minted Marines had reached the beach relatively unscathed. Their landing craft had taken a direct hit right after they exited the ramp, and there were no other survivors. Luckily this area of the beach was shallow enough for them to have struggled forward without drowning under the weight of their gear.
Dawn was about to break, and the first Marine knew their luck would quickly run out once the enemy realized that they had survived. Spreadeagled behind a small sand berm, He knew they were barely hidden. He also knew that they needed to try a rapid rush to reach the sparse line of vegetation, about 25 yards further up the beach, which might give them adequate cover.
Turning to the second Marine, he quickly outlined his plan, and started to rise up and run when she said to Him “I’m pretty sure that I can’t make it that far carrying all this gear.” “I had to drag it up the beach, just to reach this point.”
Dropping back, he responded, “What are you talking about?” “You carried your weapon and all this stuff during basic training, right?”
Ducking down from a quick peek over the edge of the berm, She informed him that she had requested, and gotten, many waivers during that time to ensure that she was retained as one of the ‘Trial Female Marines’ that Senator Boxer insisted on before the Marine Corps would be fully funded.
“Listen!”, he hissed at her as he reached over an hoisted her pack, “Your pack only weighs about a third of mine, so you should be able to carry it!” “Now, grab it and your weapon, and let’s get moving, Daylight will be coming very, very soon.
“OK, look ….. could you carry it for me to maybe at least the halfway point?” She asked (she remembered this wide-eyed soft-voiced approach had always worked well with the Drill Instructors).
“No, no, I can’t!” He whispered fiercely. “I’m fully Combat-loaded for this mission, and I even brought along extra ammunition in case I need it.”
“Extra ammunition?” She looked at him quizzically. “I dumped all of my ammunition packs on the floor of the Landing Vehicle, to ease my load.”
“I figured, hey, I could just borrow some from somebody else after we landed.” She hissed back at Him.
“What, what?” “Oh Lord!” “Here, take a couple of my extras and jam them into your pants pockets.” He said, wondering if there was a snowballs chance in Hell of surviving this mission. “Now let’s get the Hell going!”
“Well, first of all, don’t start quoting scripture at me.” Remember, My Senator, Diane Feinstein forced the Marines to eliminate all references to Religion, Thank Gaia.”
“And second, I’m not jamming those ammunition packs into my pants pockets.” “These horrendously ugly Government issued pants already make me look fat …. don’t you agree?”
Hearing the enemy running towards them now, He could only stare at Her in amazement, and sigh deeply, remembering how his Dad had warned him that today’s Marines weren’t the same as the Marines that his Dad had joined as a youth.
As the enemy came rushing up to within a few yards of the two hopelessly outnumbered and out gunned Marines, they heard a female voice screech out “Hey, we’re gonna need a reasonable break period here before we’re ready to come and fight you, M’kay?”
“if so, then we we could make 100% of the Marine Corps female, right?” in every single case, that question has flustered the person.OUTSTANDING ANSWER!!! i'm gonna use that the next time i hear some blabbermouth spouting the girls=MEN line...
Sure, they could change the rules, but then
they’d have to change their name to Navy....
I never in a million years could have seen that coming . . .
