“We don’t have enough women in either the Navy or the Marine Corps, and we’ve got to do a better job of recruiting and we’ve got to do a better job of retaining those women,” Navy Secretary Raymond Mabus Jr. said on Thursday.

He told a gathering at the National Press Club that he’s in the process of changing the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps uniforms—“so that when you look out, you see American sailors and Marines, not particularly female sailors or male sailors…And this is symbolic in terms of not segregating women, of making sure that they are substantively and symbolically the heart of our force, power.”

Uniforms aren’t the only things that are changing: The Navy says all new surface ships are built from the keel up to accommodate women. Older ships undergo “habitability modifications,” such as replacing urinals with toilets.

Democrats HATE women. They hate life. They hate God. I think that sums it up.

At one time the headline would have read:

"Navy Secretary: ‘We Don’t Have Enough Qualified People in Navy or Marine Corps’

Now it's quota time.

God help the USA.

Why? Is are defensive ability threatened by having fewer women? Does the decorating of the ships need improvement even after the fabulous fellas came out of the closet? Why does the Navy or Marines need women?

We had women in the Corps. They did all the stuff we were suppose to do while we were off fighting.

>>“We don’t have enough women in either the Navy or the Marine Corps, and we’ve got to do a better job of recruiting and we’ve got to do a better job of retaining those women,”

And what do women do better than men that makes them so essential?

To paraphrase the feminists, the Navy needs women like a bicycle needs a fish.
