Operation You Go Girl is destined to fail; failure defined not as a NO GO, or an F, but as the nation’s young women flown home in flag draped Glad Bags when the nation loses the next war(s). When this happens, the Hollywood producers, the feminists and the cultural Marxists who were responsible for forcing the nation’s women to experience the horrors of ground combat will scratch their heads and wonder why reality is so much different from their imaginary ideas of women in combat.
Think about this: US defense policy is now being run on a fantasy propagated by Hollywood, feminists and cultural Marxists.
Hollywood created the fantasy of the rough and tough, hard charging female cop. On any given night, on any given network, you can watch an anorexic 95 pound model, turned NYPD detective brandish a pistol larger than her waist and proceed to karate chop and cuff and stuff a myriad of male heavyweight thugs with the imaginary aplomb of Chuck Norris on all night POW camp raid.
Goodbye Popeye Doyle…
Unfortunately, real war is much different than a Demi Moore movie. A battlefield is not gender neutral. On a battlefield the roughest, toughest sons of bitches win the fight. What remains of the losers are picked at by ravens or fade away like dust in the wind.
Unfortunately, the Pentagon, the White House and Congress are no longer living in reality.
Simply put, the authorization in December 2015 to allow women to serve in the combat arms (infantry, armor, cavalry, artillery) and special operations forces (SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, Delta Force, Marine Raiders) of the US armed forces is the greatest disaster in US military history.
The defenders of this insanity will say that women have been in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan so what’s the big deal? Returning fire when your convoy is attacked or defending yourself during a military police security operation is different than being in a unit with the sole mission of killing the enemy and seizing and holding ground. It’s like comparing peddling a beach cruiser to racing in the Tour de France.
The social engineers will cry that the standards will remain the same. Horse dung and hay: the standards were already warped so that the three females could graduate from Ranger School. They had months of special training, nutritionists, endless chances to repeat the course, etc. Ninety-nine percent of the women in the world simply cannot meet the male physical standards of the combat arms and special operations units. No amount of estrogen charged You Go Girl battle cries, or Universal Studios light and magic shows can stop reality. Reality says a million times over that women simply don’t have the physical strength, aerobic lung capacity or aggressiveness to withstand life in the combat arms and special operations. They are also more prone to stress fractures and other injuries.
Has anyone in the Pentagon wondered why they’re authorizing women for ground combat duty, yet the PGA won’t allow women to play with Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson in any tournament. Why, because women don’t have the physical strength to hit a golf ball as far as men, that’s why.
So, the Masters is out for women, but the Green Berets are in. Are you kidding me?
Either there will be double standards or the standards will be made gender neutral and so weak that the fat ladies driving around Walmart in two horsepower electric carts will become Navy SEALs.
Another factor dooming Operation You Girl is the emotional issues surrounding young men and women living together in garrison and more importantly, in the field.
The military says that good leadership will put a damper on human sex drive. Newsflash social engineers, no amount of ROTC Leadership 101 is going to stop an 18 year old with an erection in a movement to contact with a 36-24-36 cheerleader, Private Babs Horny. Get a grip; the Army and the Marines are about to become nothing more than a high school summer camp with guns and high explosives.
You have to wonder if the social engineers who are throwing a wrecking ball into the US military have any knowledge at all about combat, the military and war itself. People like Obama, Joe Biden, Ash Carter, Ray Mabus, Eric Fanning and the rest of the military’s executioners should study battles like The Wilderness, Verdun, Tarawa, Peleliu, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Normandy, the Bulge, Khe Sanh and Tet. Think modern war can be won by diversity and technology; just ask the Marines who fought at Fallujah, or the soldiers from the Big Red One in Desert Storm who got into hand to hand fighting with the Republican Guard during the Battle of Norfolk, on the night of 26 February 1991.
War is about one thing; killing the enemy before he can kill you. It has nothing to do with equal opportunity, diversity, LGBT rights, transgender expression and ludicrous fantasies emanating from Professor Birkenstock’s women’s studies class.
Call me a cynic, but I think the subject is such a third rail in American politics that even a PC bashing behemoth like Trump won’t touch the issue. If elected, Trump would rebuild the military, but I don’t believe he has the knowledge nor will he have any generals with the stones to tell him to amend this debacle. If Trump utilizes the same school of Pentagon jellyfish trolling the hallways of the E-Ring, it’s game, set and match bad guys.
And, of course if Madame Secretary is elected it really is End Times, not only for the military, but for the nation itself.
Nope, it will take a colossal military disaster for this fiasco to end once and for all. Colossal military disaster defined as Putin’s Boys leaving the wreckage of the New US Army on the Ukrainian steppes; M1 tanks, red high heels and breast milk coolers. Or, the Chinese leaving a trail of tampons, mascara, lipstick and dead coed Marines throughout the tiny atolls of the South China Sea.
The true victims of this impending disaster are America’s young women in uniform. Well over ninety percent of women in the US military want nothing to do with ground combat, the combat arms and special operations. They are happy serving their country in the hundreds and hundreds of different jobs open to them. They know more than anyone what they are physically capable of doing in the military. It is a small minority of self-serving women in the military and leftist civilians who are pushing this nightmare agenda down the throat of the military.
The US military is on a collision course to defeat, disaster and perhaps complete destruction in war. The forced integration of women in the combat arms is not a civil rights victory, but rather the single greatest disaster in US military history.
The reason the leftists want to draft women has nothing to do with women’s rights- the purpose of the draft is to scare those who might be potential draftees and use their collective voting bloc as a means to both defang the US and keep liberals in power. So this just widens that youth voting bloc to include women and of course moms and dads of daughters.
Notice the left was constantly putting the draft before congress during the Bush years but once Obama was in office they didn’t bring it up.
Because of the born in instinctual mindset of males to protect the female, this could cause the male to not devote his full attention to the matter at hand...Combat...His subconcious could cause him to cost lives by protecting a female soldier...
I learned during basic training that one of the most important duties of a combat soldier is the ability to pick up a 200 lb. person next to you and lead them to safety. ‘Nough said.
Why… are you doing this? Why? Isn’t the military big enough… for both of us? Ha ha ha ha. What is wrong with you people?
We could work together. Why be enemies? Because we’re different? Is that why?
Think of the things that we could do.
Think how strong we would be. Male marines… and female marines… and transvestite marines… Together.
There is nothing that we could not accomplish. Think about it. Think about it.
Why win a war… when you can wet your wick? We can have it all, or we can smash it all.
Why can’t we… work out our differences? Why can’t we… work things out?
Little people… why can’t we all just… get along?
My guess is a large number of people really believe the image portrayed in the media of the small delicate girl who easily whips highly trained special forces guys.
Often they are portrayed as “warrior princesses”.
They have seen it repeated so often that they actually think it is the real world.
Hoo-ah!
Advantage... Muzzues,play on
Yes. Article IMO pretty much says it as it is.
I was 11B and this guy nails it.
This is typical of the Lib/Socialist play book
Run something up the flagpole, see who salutes OR MORE IMPORTANTLY see who doesn’t give a rats arse.
Keep snipping away and swoop in finally with the hammer drop and enough people are now saying ‘oh that would be fine’.
Happened with smoking, seat belts, and the majority of these punitive PIAs laws and rules.
When they started this BS years ago My suggestion was WE all stand up and demand they get drafted immediately.
The ‘MEN’ of the time would have objected to their little girl being drafted - we didn’t fight many wars to subject our daughters to this BS.....
Now, as this mindset is slowly dying off and the newbies have been indoctrinated to ‘this is a good idea’, ‘WE’ are labeled sexists and dinosaurs for not being enlightened enough to accept change,
Women prisoners of war will be raped repeatedly, violently and it will make its way to social media. Thus far it has been well covered up, but most women prisoners in the middle east wars were brutally raped. Did you know that? I don’t care maybe they liked it, but I find that hard to believe.
Good Psyops for the nation. I’d like to see the look on GI Janes, Liberal Democrat mom and dads face as Jane is passed around the Moslem platoon, on a Youtube video.
This is a great article. I like how it uses metaphors and sarcasm to drive home it’s points.
When a real war breaks out (e.g. Civil War) things would change.
The poor deceived princesses will know the truth about their superpowers the very first time that they get punched in the kidney.
Foreign policy was run by a failed fiction writer, so there’s some consistency.
the purpose of the draft is to scare those ////
Disagree
This is the last step in the process to make a woman eligible for CJCS
Overall, I have every confidence that I am every bit as capable as a man. Overall.
But ... I recognize that many of the areas in which my capability exceeds a man’s are equaled by areas in which your average man’s capability exceeds mine. Some of these differences are based on individual talent and capability, but many are based on gender (the old-fashioned definition of it... biological gender), and nothing I can do can change that, nor would I want to.
I’m a lot more flexible than the average man. I have great fine motor control. My disease resistance is a bit higher, and some of my senses (particularly smell) are better, because I am female.
But a man, as a rule, is going to be MUCH stronger, have faster reflexes, greater endurance, greater aggressiveness, greater ability to ‘soldier on’ in demanding physical situations with less injury and be of greater use to his comrades and the mission. In a combat situation, I would do my best not to be a liability, but I have little doubt that as a whole, a man in my position would do better.
If my more feminist sisters want to bang the drum and say they’re the equal of men in any way you want to measure, that’s their right. But I feel that when lives.... other peoples’ lives... are on the line, they need to either face up to reality or just be told to shush.
My theory is that because girls only compete with males in settings where they are on a real (school/classroom) or created (business) equal footing with males, coupled with the constant “warrior princess” portrayals they see, that they don’t even realize anymore how much stronger and more physically explosive and violent men are than them, to say nothing of the psychological and chemical/hormonal differences that make men all-around better warriors. Of course, males boots will be expected to “play fair,” and males will pick up princess’s slack on deployments, and GI Jane might no be forced to stare reality in the face until it’s already too late.
Sorry to tell you this but actually they won't give a damn. For Leftist ideology is always far more important than any human suffering which results.
