If USMCOBRA thinks the women in his command have the capacity to fight, that settles the argument for me.

My husband has been in the company of liberals all evening, but I assure you, he has 24 years of experience in the military and all of his experience (not just some of his experience) says you're wrong when you say women are mentally and emotionally unable to fight. The physical argument can be made case-by-case; some can, some cannot. I argue from a more metaphysical position that women ought not to have to, but we're surrounded by weakling men who won't defend their families...so.

All due respect to my Brother but I dont give a damn what any soldier who is not part of a ground line company says about women in Combat....especially someone from the "Air force".

That is like me telling a Helicopter pilot who is and isnt qualified to fly his props, or me telling a Motor T platoon leader who has what it takes to drive his trucks.

Though I may know quite a bit about the branch/MOS I am not by definition qualified to tell someone from another MOS about their job.

You can reach for all of the ringers you want....none of them can approach me on this subject.

I will deal with them as they come (or send messages through you) but "you" have no experience on the ground, training soldiers to fight a ground war...you have no experience in executing a ground campaign...you have no experience setting up and executing an assault...you have no experience killing people...you have no experience where this subject is concerned period. I dont care if you were a Pilot in the Air Force...you arent qualified to share any authoritative perspective on the subject of Women in "real" combat roles.

You are no different than the media....an onlooker or a person with an agenda....

You share how you "want" reality to be without having working knowledge of the fundementals behind the ground truth.

You dont have to like, agree, acknowledge or understand it for it to be what it is.

It continues independant of your perspective or input.

And in the end it is a moot(sp?) point because the current administration has ...blown the entire liberal fantasy concept out of the water.

Next up...? The Rump Rangers.
