"Think so, do you?"
There will never be true equality in this country until all females are forced to register for the Draft.
It is discrimination to only force males to have to go into combat and die.
[ Secretary Mabus dismissed this study in his announcement, saying that the addition of women to combat forces will actually improve their performance, because “a more diverse force is a stronger force.” ]
Diversity for the sake of RAW Diversity is damned foolish.
Diversity works fine instance if you are currently using giant huge marine guys as secretaries and you hire some women to do the secretary work for the marines so you can free up the giant marine guys to do more giant marine type guy stuff.
But this current Diversity trend is ass backwards putting the secretaries on the front lines and big strapping men in the office.
Hey how tough could it be to lug a grenade launcher.. just shoot a few off to lighten the load.. preferably at a diverse enemy..
This is PC madness.It will be stopped by TRUMP!!
Sadly, even holding an umbrella for the Sissy-in-Chief is probably too much for a woman Marine. Upper body strength matters.
To destroy the country, as is 0’s plan, you first destroy the military.
Obviously, Secretary Mabus is an ignorant desk jockey!
And, just in case someone might say Mabus was this and he was that, when he was younger, remember, McCain was in Vietnam, but now is a cowardly piece of chit!
Adding females to Marine units in forward, combat zones, is going to do only one thing: cause more Marine deaths! PERIOD!
Latrine orderly tops the list.
How about positions named:
Enemy Psychological Gross Out Officer.
Enemy Moral Support Booster.

What complete moron would actually believe this?
Here are the actual requirements:

I’m looking closely at what I know - Tank Crewman (1812 MOS):
- Lift 3 tank batteries...these are car batteries. If you can’t lift this, you have no business being in the military. And btw, it takes 6, so why only test ability to lift 3?
- Open and secure tank hatch...well good grief, I hope this one isn’t controversial. Yes, possessing enough strength to open the hatch seems important. But it doesn’t take too much strength - I never knew anyone who had trouble with it.
- Tank casualty evacuation. Again, I hope this isn’t controversial. Actually takes a lot of strength - most women could not do this.
- Towbar lift. Ahhh...again if you can’t do that, steer clear of the military. Or stand on the side of the road and hike your skirt up your leg to flag another crew down.
- Load 120mm round. As a cadet, I witnessed women attempt this with a 105mm round. Most could eventually do it, but it is a timed event. Now this this gets into an existential discussion of being a tanker. I don’t remember what the time limit was...probably around 7 seconds...but I would never have put up with a loader who took that long. Very few women could do it as rapidly as a man - and survival depends on this.
Anyway, with the exception of pulling an injured crewmember out of the tank, most of these are easy (to the point of being absurd). If the marines are being put in a position where they have to point out that being able to open the hatch should be a requirement, we are in trouble.
My old tank unit was forced to leave its tanks in the motor pool at Fort Riley, and become dismounted infantry crawling up and down the mountains of Afghanistan. I wonder if a partially female unit would have been able to be that flexible.
Gee, I can’t imagine how Russia is able to do in Syria what the USA is finding difficult these days. /s
Seriously, the designed crippling of America continues.
Comrades! Ambitious Obama political commissars/Junior Birdmen will be on-the-spot to make sure that wymen receive affirmative assistance in passing these sexually biased examinations.
Then their glowing reviews of the penis-challenged will be posted here assuring us that, like Rangers, all Marines are equal—but some are more equal than others. From each according to their abilities, comrades!
I couldn’t feel more safe than with a brigade of lesbos with synchronized pms leading the charge
I don’t know what I did with it or I’d post it.. But I have a pic of an older Army generator from our HHT unit, that gives manpower lift requirements. Printed on top, it says something like “250lbs 6 Man Lift - 8 Female”.
Active Duty ping.
The “Make me a sammich” duty is non gendered specific.
