There will come a day when we will pay a horrible price for all these distractions from performing the fundamental mission of the armed forces.

It’ll be fun to see how many of these disappear (for medical reasons) if there’s a real national emergency.

Well actually, it won’t be fun.

Remember the good old days when the goal was to win two major wars at once?

I suppose controlling the sea lanes and defending the nation’s interests are too old fashioned for today’s Force for Good.

I do not want to see women wounded and mangled or killed in combat.

Forget the distractions. A quota distorts the competence of everybody by lowering standards across the board.

As an aside, have you noticed military scenes in futuristic science fiction? The women marines are twice as competent and twice as bada*ss as the men. So, obviously all this works out fine when it comes to fighting aliens in the future.

lets see....a good number of the women will be black.. not that that is a bad thing, but their numbers will far outpace their numbers in society, which is not a good thing.....a number of them will be homosexual, and throw that in with the homosexual men being allowed to openly mingle, yes I would say Khrushchev was right on target with his shoe banging...

The goal should be Battle Readiness. Nothing else.

You know what happens over time, their cycles tend to synchronize. Imagine running a ship where 25 percent all have PMS at the same time.

Yes, but what percentage will be blue eyed with black hair, left-handed with a stutter? That is important to know.

In my whole life, I met ONE woman who wanted to serve in the Military.
The rest didn’t like being shot at and being ordered around.

When the military becomes a workplace instead of a weapon, it's game over for America.

ISIS is gonna loooove this!

Forget all that WWII era crap you heard about the military’s job is to kill the enemy and bust up enough of his chit to make him quit the fight.

The NEW, IMPROVED Navy IS A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD!

And turning the fleet into a string of floating love shacks will do WONDERS for morale!

Would that have been a distraction for Maverick and Goose?

I had a young girl friend (yes, a friend with boobs) who was a Fire Control tech aboard USS Obrien (a tin can) back in the early 2000’s. She was good at her job, and hated her “sisters” aboard.

She told me the crew was 30% female even then, and a good number of them were getting knocked up in between decks, to get out of ship time and transfer to the beach.
