This bothers me, because the people who made this decision will not be around when the SHTF.
They think we have a push-button military. When things go bad, and we don’t have unlimited and safe supply lines or air protection, we are going to lose due the lack of a nail for a shoe when it hinges on two soldiers from each side going toe-to-toe in hand-to-hand combat up to their knees in the snow after not having eaten or slept for days, and the one on our side is a woman. History tells us, that is how tight it can get. And we won’t even be close.
I will feel sympathy not only for the men who will be put in that situation, but the women as well.
There is going to be defeat, surprise, shed blood, humiliation, anger, and lots and lots of bitter, bitter, recrimination. The very people who support this and are making it happen will scream loudest for someone to hang because of it.
Being a student of history, there are times in my life when I see the future as clearly as if were already a reality.
When it comes to pass, it is even worse because I feel that if someone like me could have seen it, it could have been avoided. Boy, do things like that ever make me angry.
