Elaine Donnelly: Women in Combat Order “Dangerous Social Experiment”
Newsmax ^ | Wednesday, 23 Jan 2013 08:54 PM | David A. Patten

Military-readiness advocate Elaine Donnelly warns that the Obama administration’s decision to put women in ground-combat roles amounts to “social engineering to achieve a political end in the name of diversity.”

She adds that the policy shift means “lives could be lost unnecessarily, not just women, but men.”

Donnelly’s organization, the Center for Military Readiness, released a 42-page report earlier this week exploring the unintended consequences of putting women on the front lines.

“It will do great harm to women in the military, especially those who will find themselves in the infantry—something there’s no indication they wanted,” Donnelly said Wednesday in an exclusive Newsmax interview. “It will harm men and the mission of the infantry as a whole.” …

Well, yeah nature had not been kind to Russian women of that area, eating too much borscht and potatoes (if they had it.) will add the pounds. What can you say, Estee Lauder hadn't arrived in the USSR in 1941. There were some who were good looking. I remember seeing a picture of some women snipers who looked good. But you're right, they were most certainly strait from the collective farm or the gulag. But then again I think Russian men of that time had a different ideal of beauty. For any Russian army soldier I think his idea of the ideal woman was any women who was talking to him.

The Brits and Aussies did contribute some naval assets but there was no doubt that the US Navy did the heavy lifting. No offense to our allies but America was the only country that could produce the weapons needed to put the Imperial Japanese Navy to the bottom of the sea.

You are a General of an Infantry division and your Commander lets you choose one of two enemy divisions to fight. The first enemy division that you could choose to oppose in the upcoming battle is all male. Or you could instead choose to fight the second enemy division that was mixed faggot, women and men. So which enemy division would you choose to fight?

What kind of question is this? I don't care if an enemy is bull dyke or an eighty year old syphilitic with asthma, if it can pull a trigger you're just as dead.

No, the question was to pick which division. You cant answer because it will make you look stupid, well that is impossible in your case. More stupid and hypocritical.

I don’t know what the hell your talking about Reb and frankly I don’t give a crap. Stupid? That’s rich coming from a “Lost Causer’’ like you. BTW it’s ‘’can’t’’. As I’ve always said irony is lost on you.

“However in WW2 the Russians had women fighter pilots, tank drivers and snipers.”

OK. When we have 20 million dead, civilians being machine gunned into death pits, and the enemy trying to force the Mississippi with St. Louis besieged and the residents of Chicago eating rats and each other, THEN we can consider it.

By that time it’ll be too late. There are women flying fighter jets in our military, helicopters(Apaches even) driving trucks.Remember that convoy that was ambushed during Operation Iraqi Freedom? I believe there were two women in it, one was an American Indian who was killed and one was a black woman who was captured. But women as actual grunts? I dunno...

I don’t hate Southerners Reb. I just don’t like Johnny Reb wanna-be’s. And I vote conservative Republican.Unlike you, who claims to be a conservative but is really a Dixiecrat through and through. Here’s a question for you Reb, make a sentence out of these three words: ‘’hare’’, ‘’hunter’’, ‘’field’’ Can you do it?
