Marine Corps Says It Will Review Women-In-Combat Integration If Requested By Trump
Task and Purpose ^ | December 8, 2016 | Tara Copp, Stars and Stripes

The incoming Trump administration increases the chances that the decision on women in combat jobs will be reviewed and possibly changed.

The Pentagon’s decision to integrate women into combat positions will be reviewed if requested by President-elect Donald Trump, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller said Wednesday.

“If we’re asked what our best military advice is on that, we’ll make that known at that time,” Neller said Wednesday at a defense forum in Washington, D.C.

Trump’s new DHS pick, retired Marine general John Kelly, hated the degradation of the armed services by the Obamanites over the last eight years.
Starting January 21st they’re going to start making it right. Go Trump, win win win.

LOL So true.
Misses was watching that housewives crap once, and I couldn’t believe what utter drama it was.
men either fight it out and then go for a drink, or just avoid one another.Well it was when I was in, and as I know still is when I am around, though I have seen some bitchy , girlie type college guys if you can call them guys even today.

Very gracious of them to allow a review requested by the Commander in Chief.

Agree. 11B, no. Most can’t do it. But there a lot of military occupational specialties women can choose that don’t involve heavy lifting, etc.

If they want that Ranger tab, SEAL, whatever—they can pass the same demanding physical and mental tests as men. And most—not many, most—can’t hack it. Maybe a very few can, but I’ve read here on FR that even those that passed needed a little `affirmative action’.

So “fundamental fairness” is just empty `rat rhetoric. There are a lot of ways to serve. Trump will set things right.

Yeah, I seem to recall he was more or less forced out. I'm curious what Kelly's relationship with Mattis is like; with them both being contemporaneous general officers in the Marine Corps they certainly will have one. I'm guessing there will be some great cooperation between DHS assets like the Coast Guard with the DOD in the coming years.

A couple of weeks ago the young Marine 2LTs in The Basic School hiked out for their first day of Range Week. They were carrying 130lbs in their packs. I want to see these worthless excuses for females do that.

The social experiment has not worked. I have seen it first hand as has my son, and others serving and veterans.
..It needs to end, and if obama cared about the military he would have asked the Generals of each branch .

Watch the liberals who hate, or have never served now get their panties in a twist.

Hell for the Crucible they carry 40 pound and the women could not do that, and still graduated.

Even now women do not have to do a pull up to join the Marine Corps which is B/S, and then they say they want equal rights.

They’ve got their work cut out for them. Obama screwed things up every which way for 8 years.

What a waste of newsprint. If the CIC asks the Corps to produce a report on the feasibility of using ducklings as ammo bearers, they will answer “Sir, Yes Sir!”

Right; I’d have no problem letting those women in the picture fill combat roles.

Why would we bother losing real young men in these mismanaged wars? Let the women/perverts go!
