Men are different than women. Women are different than men. God made us this way. I feel sorta silly having to even say something so self-evident.

Don't feel bad about this because a lot of people lately seem to be having trouble with the concept!

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola...

Regards,

A parasite. A sick pro abortion society which kills 55 million babies and ignores a 500,000 sized march in Washington against this societal illness, shoul dexpect this kind of thing. I know I did when I first heard about it in 1971 or so, when the stupid thing was proposed and I was just a little kid

DUH!

“‘Starship Troopers’ doesn’t seem that far out of a role these days.. Brave New Battlefield.”

Are you referring to the movie?

The book is the antithesis of the movie and the Paneta/Dempsey doctrine.

Is Dempsey a homosexual?

No, but he is willing to learn.

I liked this line:

‘There’s a lot of men who can’t meet the standard to be infantrymen, and a hell of a lot of men who can’t make the standard to be Rangers or SEALs’

Let’s think about that for a minute...

Another way to say this would have been:

100% of men who qualify to be infantrymen do meet the standard to be infantrymen, and 100% of men who do become Rangers or SEALs do meet the standards required for these positions.

What Dempsey was attempting to imply was that we have infantrymen and Rangers & Seals who really do not measure up. So what the hey, let’s add a bunch of women to the mix. It’s time.

How he is qualified to be the commander of the Joint Chiefs is a wonder to me.

It’s propaganda, folks, of course. Here’s the appropriate response. Promote young women having lots of kids, and treat the boys well (as well as the girls). Some of the only influential political constituents are behind such propaganda. Repeat and clarification: make sure that young, working class American women have more children than ever.

Same response to the Malthusian garbage we’ve seen along with the shoving of our manufacturing base to nations of slaves.

Yeah, well thanks for making our point, General. But, this isn't really about equality anyway. This is about remaking America in the secular humanist's image.

This argument is just so easy to refute. Many of you may have heard of a little dustup called World War II. At the peak of United States involvement in that war there were 16 ½ million personnel in uniform, many of them women. We also had over 400,000 personnel killed in the line of duty, against the toughest battlefield enemies this country has ever had to face, ones that were capable of and often did inflict shattering BATTLEFIELD defeats upon our sea, land and air forces. Despite this no one saw any need to place women into combat roles that had the responsibility to directly close with, engage, and destroy the enemy..

Today with a much smaller and almost hand picked elite Armed Forces, and a population base that is more than twice as large as that during World War II, there is even less need for it now than then.

This entire idiocy is being propelled by the demand for selfish feminists to qualify for chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nothing more and nothing less than that.

This has absolutely nothing to do with enhancing the ability of the Armed Forces to fight, rather it will weaken it if for no other reason than the logistics strain that it will place on the Armed Forces for separate housing and the like.
