How Many Women in the US Military are Going to Die for a Lie?

How Many Women in the US Military are Going to Die for a Lie?

None.

When the shooting starts, they will get pregnant or the men will jump between them and the danger.

The issue with this insanity is how many MEN will die unnecessarily.

When you see half assed crap written like this ...
WTF are you talking about? Tell us what is it about the article you disagree with?
Personally, I thought the discussion about women not being able to carry the 155mm artillery rounds (95 pounds) was right on.
I was USMC artillery in VN, specifically, on an 8" howitzer. Our rounds weighed 204 pounds and there were many times when we had to lift and carry them alone.
Not one Marine ever failed to meet the challenge - and many times it was with incoming raining down on us.

Did posts 11 and 18 clear it up for you, or do I need to use smaller words?

Basically this piece of crap article insists that it is still okay for women to be i an MOS if part of that MOS never deploys. But that utter bullshit means that there are fewer (sometimes zero) noncombat postings available to give combat troops downtime between tours in the shit.

I am not okay with that. Women don’t need to be in any MOS that deploys ever. It is damaging to the troops who have to pull their weight in wartime whether declared or undeclared.

Is third time the charm? Can you grasp my point now? I oppose this half assed measure which is not enough to fully correct the problem.

Fine.

We put oh8eleven down as being in favor of continuing to have stateside postings available for women only in many MOS classificatilns. Since Oh8eleven just posted that outright.

Oh8eleven thinks that it is crazy to rotate troops back to the States between combat tours.

Since you just took that position outright, I have no use for you or any of your crap ever. Some marines believe in a band of brothers. Oh8eleven just said canoncockers are good screw the other fields.

My first tour, in my career fields most postings were with the line batallions. There were a few positions with the electronic maintenance companies, and even fewer positions at depot level maintenance. Much of the time I operated an M60 or ran the batallion generators.

I couldn’t get a higher echelon mainalltenance posting even if I reenlisted because WMs held almost all those billets. And as long as they stayed in that continued. My career field was not uncommon in that regard, and nearly forty years later that situation is even more the norm.

You did your time and got out.
I get that.

Your entire attitude today is “Semper Fi, I got mine.”
I get that too.

You disgust me.
