That said, as a former Army Combat Arms Soldier, (Field Artillery), I know there is no way women can function equally with men in that physically demanding environment.
The standards have been lowered and I hope Sec. of Defense, (Retired Marine General), Mattis gets this fixed pronto.
I expect this from the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
I thought the Marines knew better.
Wow this is weird. I work with Captain Demchko here in Okinawa. Had no idea she filmed this. Shows what I know. I don’t belong Eve women should be in the infantry, but she is a fine Marine officer without question.
The idea of women in combat is neat, not lying in its own blood. Note the Marines in the background: tactical pause.
Females in combat is en vogue, but it causes, and will continue to cause men in combat to change their behaviors. That is not good.
Reality is reality. Wishful thinking in war can be deadly.
Nor emotionally either
Stupid weak soft culture
Honestly if women want to be in combat with men, they should have no problems competing against male athletes in every sport. Combat is way more serious than a sporting game.
Quote: “Marine Capt. Erin Demchko, has served in Afghanistan on a Female Engagement Team.”
“Capt. Demchko worked side by side with her fellow Marines to complete missions in the region.”
FALSE. She worked on a FET. That is ABSOLUTELY NOT “SIDE BY SIDE WITH HER FELLOW MARINES”. It’s a FET, you just wrote that. Engaging with women. NOT SIDE BY SIDE WITH MARINES. WTF?!?! IDIOTS.
....just to be perfectly clear: I’m quoting and criticizing the AUTHOR of the story, NOT the original poster. I know the difference! :)
Good job, OP!
