The commander of the Navy's special warfare units is recommending that the SEALs and combat crew jobs be opened to women, but he warns that women will have greater risk of injury and says the service may be pressured to adjust or lower standards for the jobs.

The title is dishonest. The Navy was not "ready". This was forced on the Navy by the Obama administration.

This will further weaken our military and endanger the lives of our servicemen.

This country has gone insane.

Shouldn't that headline read that the SEALs will open doors for women. Especially if the doors are heavy or the woman is really foxy!

The really tough thing is, how do you turn this around?

Once this decision is made, it will be almost a political impossibility to declare women not eligible again.

This will go over wonderfully in the SpecOps community...

I would have no problem with Navy Seals opening doors to women. They are supposed to be gentlemnen, aren't they?

My understanding is that SpecFor is voluntary.

Let every male walk away and give SpecFor to the feminazi. See what happens.

The further weakening of our military forces in many ways.

Lots to reverse when the new guy enters the WH.

It’s unbelievable, even with this adminsitration from hell with Satan for a father, that Mabus had the gall to just dismiss a study which showed the negatives of opening up combat positions to females, and call it just a big lie. Just wait until his grand-daughters, if he has any, get drafted (it’s coming, because white straight males aren’t going to be enlisting in the numbers they used to).

Yes, Mr President.

We have a Secret Service force serving the White House of all female, all butch and bull-dykes.
No, sir. There are no men willing to dive in front of you to take a bullet. Your people are more the nurturing type.

I hope and pray that no more straight white males join. The sodomites and females wanted to run it, let them do what the white men have always had to do and be the sharp end.

I continue to counsel my SIL regarding his desire to volunteer for Army Ranger training. Can’t convince him otherwise [ooo-rah] but, that said, I agree with you.

Sounds good, until you realize the nation falls when they fail.

We have to have a strong leader who can come in and end this nonsense.

That means working with others to accomplish it, but you have to have a leader who can persuade them.

SEALS training isn’t GI Jane. I cannot envision a woman that could pass that training regimen.

Instructors will work under the idea that they will test and get it no more or less than anyone else but if it comes down to flip a coin, women get the OK. Political pressure demands that. Still wont be good enough. No women will get into training until the Seals are directed to pass one.

That’s what the left knows too. Once a “right” has been “found” (made up out of thin air) and enacted, people will scream bloody murder if we try to roll it back, including all the “fiscal conservatives” and “libertarians” and “moderates” and “Log Cabin Republicans”, et al. It’s Margaret Thatcher’s famous ratchet effect-when the ship of state gets veered to the left, once the right gets in power, the best they can do is to veer it back to status quo, they never have time (especially with a hostile leftist propagandist media against them) to correct course towards the right.

What we’re seeing is just the beginnng of more of the same.

I am okay with women as SEALs - if the women pass the exact same tests and training that men have always faced to become SEALs. My guess: there are no women alive who could succeed in SEAL selection and training without modifications, not because Navy special forces are sexist but because there are so few men alive who have the upper body strength and the endurance to pass, and women biologically have less of each.

Indicate they will sent in first in any hostile situation, before the men, to advance “equality.”

Then I don’t think you will have any women wanting to be Seals.
