As our military is being feminized and emasculated, the U.S. Navy has decided urinals are going to be eliminated on our aircraft carriers per
CNN.

I was a tanker in the Army. We’d call them “Crunchettes” [since we called the 11 Bravos “Crunchies”].

No. No! NOOOOOOO!!!!
It’s bad ENOUGH that bootcamp in the regular army has been weakened and feminized- the infantry is the LAST place where at least some of the requirements are still stringent- although from what I hear even that is being made more politically correct.
Liberals have slowly yet utterly changed our cultural ideas of what it means to be a man (or a woman, for that matter).
And they did it without ever firing a shot.

In our PC world the standards are lowered for the gals while at the same time
creating the illusion we are equally capable.

IF (Big IF) this happens, it will be as a result of dumbing down the criteria for the gals. Men will continue to meet their current levels - the chicks will have lower standards.
Or - even worse - the standards for becoming a Marine will be so substandard that any he/she/it can qualify.

Actually, gruntrices. (Gruntrix is the singular.)

It would be like Marines with cheerleading squad. I’m not sure the guys would object too strenuously to that. Just issue camo pom-poms to the gruntrices.

This ex-squid is shaking his head in disbelief. Well, the option of ‘over the side’ still remains viable.

While Capt Petronio freely admits ...
- I had muscle atrophy in my thighs that was causing me to constantly trip and my legs to buckle with the slightest grade change
- My agility during firefights and mobility on and off vehicles and perimeter walls was seriously hindering my response time and overall capability.
- the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines and further compounded by gender-specific medical conditions.
... there's no mention if any of these problems had a negative effect on mission success or led to another Marine getting killed.
Women do NOT belong in combat. Period.

Good to know that someone is still upholding the rules of Latin grammar.

Although I must say Rush Limbaugh might have been onto something:
Let certain women into the military and have the certain kinds of women be housed at the same place, the same time over a period of time and therefore we would have a combat-ready group of women on PMS whenever we needed ‘em, because of the miraculousness of the synchronized menstrual cycle. Now, the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion consisted of feminazis, banshees, Amazons who wanted to go into war and so forth — and we theorized, “If you want to get Noriega out of there,” ‘cause did the rock music work or was it just an irritant? I forget which. It might have worked.
But we speculated here, we theorized that Noriega sitting inside the Papal Nuncio and hearing Molly Yard shout, “This is an outrage!” and looking out the window and seeing the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion headed your way, you might give up and immediately surrender.

The infantry is more abput humping 100 pound packs in 110 deg. heat than it is firing an M-16.

For females, crawling on your back, under barbed-wire, can be extremely problematic.
