“Navy secretary to Marines: Women in combat is irreversible”
Wanna bet?
The clown might as well be an open fag like the Army Secretary. No appreciable difference.
I don’t know if dila813 is sure, but I certainly am.
Any society that sends its women to fight for it before it starts sending its non-shaving boys and cane-borne old men deserves to be destroyed, and will be by societies that do not make that mistake.
During the unpleasantness of the early 1940s, we had roughly 10% of the entire population of the country in uniform.
We were drafting men who were half-deaf, who could barely see, who had flat feet and could barely march.
Even then, we didn’t send women to fight.
I was in The Corps in the 80s in the infantry.
Never saw combat, thank God.
Lots of guys had trouble on force marches and us NCOs were encouraged to “make sure everyone keeps up.”
Women would only have made matters worse.
It’s going to be interesting to see how these new troops are able to handle 75 - 100 lbs of gear and running for miles carrying it to their objective.
I foresee a lot of women’s “gimp squads”.
Amen J. This is about national policy, B A D national policy, wrong national policy. Policy aimed at F U N D M E N T A L change ala O crazy. Reversal on the first day of a Republican President, but hail Caesar on the inauguration of Hillary or Bernie.
My heart goes out to all those who are going to die because of these anti-American LIB loser “leaders”.

Women in combat is a self-curing problem.
I read the article and they try to make it sound like they are not going to lower the standards then they go on to say if they do they will lower it for everyone!
Destruction of our Military is what is being done plain and simple!
I fear we are losing the institutional memory of having faced enemies that are capable of defeating us on the battlefield. We have not faced such an enemy since the summer/winter of 1950 on the Korean Peninsula. The names of Task Force Smith, the 1st Battles of Taejon and Seoul, the Pusan perimeter, the near destruction of the 2nd Infantry Division at Kunu-Ri the annihallation of Task Force Faith and the 80 mile withdrawal from the Chosen Resovoir seem but distant memories. The cultural marxists now in charge of the Obama administration are indulging in the sort of social experimentation SURE to result in defeat or serious setback against an enemy capable of projecting the sort of battle field power that would lead to the battlefield reverses that the US Armed Forces suffered at Kasserine Pass, the opening phases of the Ardennnes Offensive, the Hurtegen Forest, the Rapido River, the US Strategic Bombing Campaign, the 1st Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, (Savo Island) or the Rangers at Cisterna in Italy. Over a decade of facing an enemy that is only capable of terrorist/guerilla warfare that can be largely countered by elite specops units has us fighting the last war, and would not be suitable against any enemy capable of projecting real battlefield conventional power.
Only a feckless, unserious and irresponsible nation, enamored of the current crop of “combat chicks” in almost every one of today’s action movies, that is oblivious to the possibility of facing an enemy that IS capable of inflicting these sorts of battle field defeats would contemplate such a disastrous notion as placing women into the first team of ground combat units whose task is to close with, engage and destroy similar enemy units. Sheer and utter madness!!!!
...and female soldiers will be snuffed out by the enemy, the ultimate reversal. Sadly, soldiers will also lose their lives because his female teammate failed to carry her load.
What a bunch of cowards and women haters we have running this country. But ultimately, the One they hate is God.
Irreversible right up to the moment bullets start flying.
