Women in combat is not the ideal solution to the need for soldiers. My Daddy was a WWII combat veteran, and he was not in favor of either women or gays in combat. (In fact, he once stated that the few flaming homosexuals who started out in basic training did not generally make it through. War is hard to say the least and is not a social game. One commanding officer in more recent times said that when his group was ordered to “bug out” that the women were not able to do the heavy lifting of materials and machinery necessary to load up - so his outfit just didn’t “bug out” as ordered because they couldn’t. These parents who tell their daughters that they can do ANYTHING they want to do; well, yep, provided it’s affirmative action. Feminism has ruined this country, as has radical affirmative action.

I agree - this is sad. Though courage & bravery are up front & center with our soldiers, that bond made on a personal level with each other is an important one. They are away from home, loved ones, & friends. All they have is each other, which I believe keeps them strong & determined.

It’s sad to know that anyone who has what it takes to be in the military, can’t get the respect they deserve for putting their life on the line as well.

If they wanted to be nurtured they had zero business enlisting in the first place.

wait... they are complaining about the treatment by OUR guys?? are they nuts?

just wait until they are captured. then they’ll find out what sexual violence is all about (yet they won’t ever curse the libs for putting them in that situation... brilliant)

this is yet another article written by people that have no concept of the extent to which the enemy will go. yes, they will be gang raped. yes, they will have various things put inside. yes, they will have various parts cut off.

for some reason over the last few days i feel the need to give stark reminders of reality... since the libtards have never even visited the same planet as the rest of us

“NO SHIT Shurlock!”

Men used to protect women - now they want to protect themselves and then complain when they get ostracized.

Tough cookies. Either you WANT to be a woman and to be treated as one - or you act like a man and get treated as one.

We had women in our unit, field hospital, they were appreciated and respected. But we were not under fire.
