Good article
Result: Bull dykes and flamboyant fag soldiers that do whatever President Gaybama tells them to, including firing upon the evil heterosexual masses.
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” SecDef Gates on Diversity after the Ft Hood shooting.
Symbolic of how these assclowns think.
When billets for the service academies were opened to women, I said than and was reinforced in my belief by a female officer that this would inevitably result in this present insanity.
Instead of honoring these women we willingly send them out to die.......
it's absolutely insane.
I briefly thought that maybe, just maybe, the Chiefs were trying to make the best of a bad situation. That maybe they knew Obama would force this change on them whether they wanted it or not, and that they thought it best to get out in front of it and limit the damage. I based these thoughts mostly on the rarely mentioned part of announced change that said the services could, after a review, still prohibit women from certain positions if it was determined they were unfit for them. I thought maybe the Chairman was thinking that maybe the Army and Marine infantry units doing most of the brutal fighting would, in the end, remain all male.
I also foolishly (kind of) believe Panetta when he said that standards would not be lowered. If this were true, then very few women would ever make it.
But then Chairman Dempsey quickly squashed such illusions when he uttered what is quoted in the article about how the services would have to defend high standards that women can’t meet. Then when asked directly about it on Meet the Press, the Chairman said that they would ‘have the right standards for the right jobs.’ I think its a safe bet that the ‘right’ standards will be ones that are low enough to allow enough women in the infantry to satisfy the wishes of people like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. So its pretty clear now. The Chairman is saying that standards will absolutely be lowered.
Its a shame that the GOP is so worthless. Public support for this move is built on a lie that standards won’t be lowered. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is all but saying the standards will be lowered. And Republicans are nearly silent. Yeah, there is the proposal to pass a law forbidding the lowering of standards, but even if it passed the House, it would go nowhere in the Senate and would be vetoed by Obama even if it did.
If we’re lucky we won’t fight any more wars so we won’t ever discover just how bad an idea this is.
There will be nothing that comes out of this that makes the armed forces more capable or better than they were before. Not one thing.
No, that ghastly and stunning quote was from General Casey.
It’s amazing really. He said that if the military were to have less diversity in general, and fewer Muslims specifically, would be worse than the slaughter of all those innocent people. This should be an infamous quote, and he should be ridiculed for it. But I’ll bet few have ever even heard it. The GOP is simply worthless in opposing the cult of Diversity.
Clearly, the General never saw a ghetto.
And in these coming times, that may not be a bad thing!
it is not about women in combat or even women in ground combat. it is about women in combat UNITS. this lack of correct terminology is right up there with assault weapons. women have been in ground combat. i do not want them in ground combat units.
It makes all of our daughter eligible for draft registration, and any future draft. The only thing keeping them out, were court rulings to the effect that since women were barred by law from combat roles, they were not required to be included in any draft.
‘If we’re lucky we won’t fight any more wars so we won’t ever discover just how bad an idea this is.’
The Fates and the Furies are rolling about in laughter over that one. Congrats, you are a first time Hit parade winner on Olympus.
Oops, thanks for the correction. I am reading a book about planning for OIF and had Gates and Casey on the brain.
Starship troopers lays out the “pro” case rather well. ;p
