Women shouldn't be in the military in the first place.
I've seen JAG's at work; Promotion = Prosecution.
It's obvious to millions of us, even those of us who have never been in the military.
Women in the military is all going to end horribly.
I hope our country can survive the crash.
OTOH, aren't officers supposed to be gentlemen? Is it so outrageous to expect them to behave as such?
A delicate flower. That's why she joined the military.
"zero-tolerance campaign" is PC-speak for the chilling for free speech.
Liberalism has become the Orwellian future for which they accused conservatives.
And so the Clinton-era feminization of the panty-waist Pentagon and the military continues unabated.
Now I am confused.
Lt. Bryan D. Black is up on charges for a "crude remark" at the insistance of Annapolis school's superintendent, Vice Adm. Rodney P. Rempt.
However, this same Annapolis school's superintendent, Vice Adm. Rodney P. Rempt has ordered all midshipmen and staff to view for the third year straight a play called "Sex Signals." A play in which "The language is so graphic that Adm. Rempt recommends that children should not attend any performance".
How is the play any different from what was said in the supposed "crude remark"?
"Women shouldn't be in the military in the first place."
I see. So you only support troops with penii?
This play will go over like a lead balloon with the brigade, men and women. I doubt if this female Mid has much support within her gender there. They treat everybody the same, male or female. Of course, I don't know exactly what was said either so I may be wrong.
C'mon guys, ease up a little! Women have a right to be in the military, too.
Of course, safety or security must never be comprised in the process! But I think the military is big and versatile enough to handle estrogen in the ranks.
That said, women must realize they're entering an organiztion that has traditionally always been male-dominated, and will continue to be.
That doesn't excuse a lack of respect for each other, though - the military is trying to mold not only men, but GENTLEMEN. So if it's a joke that you wouldn't tell to your mother, don't tell it to another woman.
To understand how all this came about read Kate O'Beirne's new book,'Women Who Make The World Worse'.
Some of the female soldiers I worked with in Iraq were as verbally bawdy as anyone could be.
Yea, he appears to be a real POS.
Thing is, I really get antsy about people who feel women shouldn't be in the military. It upsets me because it seems to invalidate the choices that a lot of women have made--to help and serve their country. It's a personal thing with me, so it sets my teeth, is all. And to have someone say "Women shouldn't be there", suggests to me that they don't support said (female) troops. Kinda like people who don't support the troops 'cause they "shouldn't be there at all".
...if that makes sense. My grammar got mucked, but I hope you can see what I mean. If I misunderstood, please feel free to explain it to me--I'm a good listener, promise!
