WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden told the U.S. Military Academy's class of 2016 on Saturday that greater diversity, including more women and openly gay soldiers, will strengthen the country's armed forces.
"Having men and women together in the battlefield is an incredible asset, particularly when they're asked to lead teams in parts of the world with fundamentally different expectations and norms," Biden said in his speech at a graduation ceremony at Michie Stadium on the West Point grounds along the Hudson River.

When the SHTF and CWII starts it'll be so much easier to win the war. The new Confederate Army will not have women and gays.

For really horny soldiers, it’s an opportunity to get lucky, but I don’t see how it helps national security.
What does the evidence say?

Things like the QSP boards supposedly insure excellence and "strengthen" US forces while reducing troop strength too, but when they are used to retain brown-nosers, crawlers, dogma regurgitators and quota-fillers at the expense of slightly flawed but effective NCOs and officers, they only strengthen illusions. This administration is good at illusions, and the GOP-e congress is good at allowing such situations.

Nice post, IJ. Excellent points. I like the “divided we stand” point.

...greater diversity, including more women and openly gay soldiers, will strengthen the country's armed forces. "Having men and women together in the battlefield is an incredible asset... Unless America is planning to invade Sodom, I can't imagine where openly gay and lesbian soldiers would be "an incredible asset".

If having women in combat strengthens a unit why didn't the Black Knights have women on the Football team ?Great analogy and it completely destroys Weird Joe's worthless point.
