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.

He told the crowds: '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 made his speech at the graduation ceremony held at Michie Stadium on the West Point grounds along the Hudson River.

He is basing this wild claim on what exactly? Seriously, I think we all know his writers just strung those words together based on exactly nothing. It seemed like a good idea, fit the liberal agenda, so they’re forcing it on the Military. Their claims regarding the positive effects are made entirely of whole cloth.

The article posted above this is about Trump’s poll numbers surging. Bombardment with truly INSANE stories like this are high on the list of reasons for that.

Heck, why don’t they just form all female combat units from females that qualify and test them by whatever standards they judge mixed sex combat units and male combat units? Seems like common sense if you are really convinced they are the same, and you want to convince those that disagree.

Biden is a brain damaged, deranged man. The fact that Paul Ryan was bested by him in the Vice Presidential debate was a predictor of how ineffective Ryan would be in any high office. Biden grinned like a demented idiot and Ryan choked. Hopefully the country will be rid of both of them soon.

When a vice-president of the United States tells citizens that they don’t need semi-automatic weapons for home and self defense, but rather:
“...Biden advised gun owners to ‘just fire the shotgun through the door.’...”

You have to know the guy is completely loony...

I can see it now...”Oh sh!t, Mom!!!! I didn’t know it was you at the door!!!!!”

The point is not to explain it: just to say it.

You can't argue with success. Our parents accepted seduction outside of marriage. We accepted seduction of same sex. Our children will accept seduction of same sex children.

When Smokin’ Joe replaces The Witch as the Dhimmicrat nominee, Donald Trump is going to hang every one of these things around his neck like an albatross.

How do you think Obama's Affirmative Action military of girly men, welfare breeders, she males, pansies, cross dressers and sexual perverts would handle real battles?

Guadalcanal?
Battle of The Bulge?
Bloody Tarawa?
Battle of Iwo Jima
Okinawa?
Battle of Chosin Reservoir?
Khe Sanh?
