I’m still kicking myself for sending this RINO money a few years ago so he could beat that crazy liberal woman.

Ditto. These morons have no idea what is expected of a soldier assigned to a front line combat unit. IOTV’s don’t get lighter because you’re a woman. A 249B doesn’t carry itself etc.

If women are assigned to these units, the remaining men in the units will be carrying her weight literally. Also, if you’re clearing a building and have to take a room. Where do you put the woman in the stack. If she’s the first person in the door, and finds herself wresteling with a 200 pound man in the dark (Giving up 70-100 pounds) what happens then. I’ll tell you what happens, you put her where she’s at least risk and that means forcing the male members of her unit to bear some of her share of the risk.

Chill. As long as Brown votes to repeal Obamacare he’s served his purpose. He can vote for putting women in the front lines all he wants, because if it comes to a vote, it will never pass.

You and me both. rereading the article, it appears he only wants them in front line positions “so they can realize their full promotional potential.”

To paraphrase the movie 300:”this is madness!” “madness? This. Is. America!”

FU scott brown you colossal rino.

I think it’s a great idea, that way if we lose a war, we can just say to our conquerers: ‘oh aren’t you tough, you beat a bunch of girls’. =Bill Murray

Me too. It has been the most painful political thing for me, the betrayal. Well, not even that. I knew he wasn't a real conservative, but I forced myself to believe he was more than he was.

Since putting some energy into getting Scott Brown elected (both time and money) then seeing him do the things that he did, it brought me to the hard realization that being a little bit liberal is very much like being a little bit pregnant. Just like the progression of a pregnancy ends up (most of the time) in the birth of a child, the progression of liberalism is very much a one-way ratchet, in that every surrender to liberalism is ground lost, rarely to be regained.

In other words, I’ve come to the conclusion that you reach the same degree of liberalism by being a bit liberal as you do by being fully liberal.

Having people like Scott Brown in office will eventually bring you to the same destination as having someone like Elizabeth Warren.

It just takes you longer to get there.
