Why not make em cripples too, so they can’t outrun anyone???

[Diogenesis]

The goal will include 1 transsexual on antidepressives
to be Captain of each ship, once he/she has texted
sufficient pics to be acceptable to Admiral Carlos Danger.

We had to do almost all of the physical labor, scut work, camouflaging, set-up and all that, especially in the field, yet their paychecks were exactly the same as ours. Oh well, that was a long time ago...

The USS Puget Sound AD-38 was one of the very first ships to have women. It had the nickname the “Pubic Mound”.

[NormsRevenge]

Maybe if we surrender now.. We can get a good deal.

[Shimmer1]

Women! All the sex with multiple partners that you could ever want!


sorry, but it's going to be true.

Because attempting unnatural social engineering is far more important that defending the nation.

[MasterGunner01]

I keep hearing strains of “The Love Boat” playing loudly in the background. Why is that? It cannot be good.

The more accurate headline is:

Admiral Says Navy’s Goal is OUR UTTER AND COMPLETE DEFEAT

>> their answer was that they would call for more men to go to the area to help out,

These were Chiefs?!? There is no more hope. That pillow-biting, racist POS in the White House has destroyed this nation by planting seeds of destruction like this. It will take a generation or more to root out all the weakness that he has woven into this nation in just a few short years—and that’s only after we do something about his followers.

Oh, happy days. An admiral named Michelle. I’m sure she got there through dedication and hard work and exceptional leadership skills.

Just so we're clear, you are saying there is no way a woman could ever make it to full admiral on dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership skills? That if a woman rises through the officer ranks it is due solely to quotas and favoritism and ability doesn't enter into it at all?

[ansel12]

That female admiral is affirmative action, all females in the military are, that is why they have females standards that are different, and why they keep moving standards downward.

[ansel12]

It was the late 1990s, we hear the same thing from people who talk about “support” units being a good place for females, they think everything will always be smooth running and calm.

"My father was on the Marblehead" In the ensuing Battle of Makassar Strait, Marblehead successfully maneuvered through three attacks. After the third an enemy plane spiraled toward the cruiser, but her gunners splashed it. The next minute a fourth wave of seven bombers released bombs at Marblehead. Two were direct hits and a third a near miss close aboard the port bow causing severe underwater damage. Fires swept the ship as she listed to starboard and began to settle by the bow. Her rudder jammed, Marblehead, continuing to steam at full speed, circled to port. Her gunners kept firing, while damage control crews fought the fires and helped the wounded. By 1100, the fires were under control. Before noon the enemy planes departed, leaving the damaged cruiser with 15 dead or mortally wounded and 84 seriously injured. Marblehead‍ '​s engineers soon released the rudder angle to 9° left, and at 1255, she retired to Tjilatjap, steering by working the engines at varying speeds. She made Tjilatjap with a forward draft of 30 ft (9 m), aft 22 ft (7 m). Unable to be docked there, her worst leaks were repaired and she put to sea again on the 13th. Some of her wounded crew were taken off the ship to be cared for by Dr Corydon M. Wassell; he received the Navy Cross for protecting from capture by the invading Japanese. When the ship left Tjilatjap it was on the first leg of a voyage of more than 9,000 mi (14,000 km) in search of complete repairs.

"...the ship is in danger of being lost, there are no “extras” to spare anywhere.

On a ship, especially today as crews are smaller, every ounce of manpower counts, to replace our seamen with smaller weaker, less aggressive and capable versions of them, is insanity.

That's the point, isn't it. 0bama said he would fundamentally destroy change the U.S.

[chemical_boy]

You don’t get it, women on board means that our enemies can’t shoot at our ships because phallic shaped weapons are triggers. It seems to work rather well at curtailing all opposition in college, should work in the real world too.

>>It was the late 1990s, we hear the same thing from people who talk about “support” units being a good place for females, they think everything will always be smooth running and calm.

We used to have those “support” units come down to the boat when we were in port to perform various maintenance tasks. Every now and then, you would encounter a female sailor who pulled her weight, but most just smiled and batted their eyelashes at the single guys to get things done for them.

When I was and EM1, I had some female Fireman ask me to carry her gear down the ladder into the boat. I asked her what she was going to carry if I carried everything for her and she smiled and said that she had a hard time carrying things up and down ladders.

I just told her that she’s in the wrong line of work and that 1st Class Petty Officers don’t carry “stuff” for Firemen in this Navy.

I guess they do now. :-(
