There are plenty of functions in supply, administration, medical and technology where women would be of great value and free up men to go out and fight. But putting them in combat roles merely complicates everything from planning to performance.
Violence on a massive scale is not necessary. Just start picking them off a few at a time, starting with those in position to GIVE THE ORDERS. The only problem is where to draw the line between murder and preemptive self-defense.
Wrong answer. That makes you and your kids traitors. Better to send them to Washington to take back America.
Nope, not traitors.
If the majority of the country thinks women in combat is a great idea there’s no ‘taking back America’. It’s time to emmigrate.
Outside of the fact that there's nowhere left to go, isn't it worth fighting for?
If the majority are against you it’s suicide in fact.
Just imagine in 10 years when the majority of young people, having been ‘common cored’ into Islam, are tacit converts.
.......excellent observations!
............my concern though is that like the Civil War once it get’s started there will be no controlling it or stoppiing it. There is lots of anger out there just looking to blow off!
Meanwhile the Army considers/institutes? other changes. Perhaps this deserves a separate posting.

The army is sucking wind. They are gearing up to get more female recruiters so that they could get more women recruited when they change the law in January. I guess its a done deal regardless of what the studies show.
Unicorns COULD be required to sign up too... This sounds like the usual climate change lies... could happen, might happen, etc.
Vast numbers will be pregnant before leaving AIT. Those pretty blondes and brunettes from the suburbs will be prizes to take. Google Aberdeen scandal.
The wrong demographic? Are minorities now flocking to combat arms?
‘Wrong’ demographic being Christian, rural and poor.
Why on earth would you read ‘minority’ into any of my posts?
Do you really think they’ll be deploying the daughters of Obama bundlers to Fallujah or its equivalent?
Meanwhile the Duggar and Bates and other poor rural Christian daughters will be thrown into hellholes with inadequate training and insufficient supplies.
It will solve two problems with one ‘bullet’. Political opposition (if they’re dead they can’t vote, at least for non democratic candidates) and future political opposition (if they’re dead they won’t be having kids).
They’ll solve the pregnancy issue by mandating birth control injections. In Uncle Sam’s army you have no medical choice with anything they don’t want you to have choice with. Wouldn’t surprise me if they mandated abortions in time of war.
At which point there will be some Christian, Jewish and other religious leaders who will say it is against their faith for women to serve in combat. I expect nothing of the sort from my RC ‘leaders’.
Against their faith to serve in combat. But mysteriously adjudicated that they will still have to take the mandatory b/c shots.
I know 2 women who got depo shots back in the early/mid 90’s. It worked OK. Permanently.
There will be all sorts of population control shenanigans if uncle sam gets its paws on fertile females.
“I begged him to stop,” the private said. “He was laying on top of me. There wasn’t a whole lot I could do.”
The second witness, a 22-year-old specialist with the National Guard, said Simpson pushed her onto a bed in his office and raped her when she went to confront him about his criticism about her uniform and nail polish.
“He was laying on top of me. I couldn’t go anywhere,” the woman said. “I didn’t know what he was going to do because he was so mean.”
The woman, who dabbed at her face with tissues and wrung her hands, said she had a consensual sexual relationship with a drill sergeant before the alleged attack by Simpson around March 1995, and a consensual sexual relationship with a second drill sergeant afterward.
Simpson, 32, is accused of raping six women in the most serious case to emerge from the Army’s investigation into sexual misconduct at the weapons-testing center 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.
It is also the most racially and politically charged case.
All 12 of the Aberdeen soldiers charged so far are black, while most of the alleged victims are white. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has accused the Army of targeting black drill sergeants, while five white female recruits have said investigators unsuccessfully pressured them to accuse their black superiors of rape.
Army officials have denied race was a factor in their investigation.
The two trainees who accused Simpson of rape on Monday are white. A third woman who testified that he forcibly kissed her is black. All three alleged attacks occurred in 1995.
Simpson, who is married, already has pleaded guilty to having consensual sex with 11 trainees in violation of an Army rule prohibiting personal relationships between supervisors and subordinates.
But he said he is innocent of rape, as well as other charges of forcibly sodomizing, punching, grabbing or threatening trainees.
The offenses he has admitted carry a maximum of 32 years in prison. A single rape conviction could mean life imprisonment.
The birth control shots will be labeled ‘for their own good’, just in case ‘something happens’.
My opposition to this comes down to personal experience; having seen how enlisted females live I would never want a daughter, niece, etc. to subject themselves to that. Not when there are young men from the Sununu and Romney families available to serve.
I’m wondering what “combat duty” has to do with mandating females register for the draft. Not all draftees go into combat now. If females can be drafted, it just increases the size of the draft pool, and probably increases the chance of a male drawing a combat assignment.
