But as Rush pointed out, when they all have PMS, they could be a very effective fighting force....Hence, the “All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion”’

Seems Coach Boom has himself a little problem with the NCAA..wonder if it blows over..
I don’t see how they could come up with any proof against Boom on it. But it does look like Auburn’s program is in deep doo doo.
No $h!t... ya think?
Telling the truth gets you fired??????
“I once lived in the land of the free and home of the brave, but then things “changed”. I now live in the land of the Fee and home of the Knave.”
Nice, original?
Too many fees, made us all slaves.
Met bet is that lesbians dropped a dime on this one. Statements made by Proud could put the homosexuals playground at risk.... so poof, she had to go.
I see you are finally starting to understand the thinking pattern (or lack there-of) of the average Dimocrat.
Less cotton more ammo!
Jan Brewer...she sure can't dance. The minute you try to appreciate her she does something Country Club Stupid to zero out the positives with the Base.
The remarks were frank, but offense? To whom?
Text without context is error.
Proud was tossed to the wolves without ceremony after the Consultants did the math. The estimated cost of wiping Brewer's feet on Proud's attempt at survival... zero. That's a shame, but it earned enough coolness points with the compliant press for them to omit much of this story.
Ironic - my own experience suggests that women “on the r*g” would constitute a formidable - perhaps even undefeatable - fighting force.
and the truth shall set you free... from your job!!!
How dare she utter the truth !!!
Former Tucson lawmaker Terri Proud, who was just hired by the state Veterans' Services Department, was fired Wednesday in the wake of her statement in a news story that menstrual cycles might be too problematic for women to be in combat. The department director... Joey Strickland submitted his resignation letter on Tuesday... Proud was given the job despite Gov. Jan Brewer having told Strickland a year ago not to hire her, said gubernatorial spokesman Matt Benson... Benson wouldn't say why the Governor's Office didn't want Proud hired... Proud has a reputation for being controversial. She gained national attention during her time in the Legislature for a viral email exchange in which she said women who want abortions should have to watch one first... "I don't have a problem with women being on the front line if that's their choice," Proud said. "I'm not going to sit there and say, 'No, you don't have that right.' I was making a funny comment, 'What are they going to do?' " How menstrual cycles are handled is a curiosity she has, Proud said, noting that whether or not that hurdle is being addressed is a real issue, even if it isn't talked about. Women are designed differently from men and need to have their needs met on the front lines, she said.
“I would prefer to fight with anyone other than a woman shortly prior to or in their menstrual period.
They are natural-born killers during all of that.”
I dunno. I once worked with a military woman who was normally a tough hombre (gender-normed) but during “that time” if you looked at her wrong she would cry. She didn’t like me at all, but I thought she was okay for a liberal.
how dare she have an un-PC opinion
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Actually, I agree that her argument is incorrect.
The reason that women should be excluded from combat is not that they can’t cut it; but it is a double problem.
First, there are not *enough* women who can handle combat to “break the uniformity” of the military just to accommodate them. 1 woman for every 50 men is not critical enough to the military mission to force the men and the military to accommodate the woman.
Second, and perhaps far more important, the men themselves are not equal. Only a minority of men are effective as combat soldiers. This is why “combat support” and “combat service support” soldiers outnumber combat soldiers in the military by about 15 to 1.
While the military fantasizes that “any man can be trained to be a combat soldier”, this is not the case, as a real soldier could beat 100 non-soldiers in a fight. However, there are far too few real combat soldiers to do all the work, so many who are mediocre join them in combat, even though they are not terribly effective in combat.
And here is the zinger. Among the superior combat soldiers, it is very common that they have a “biological imperative” to protect females, even at the cost of their own lives.
That is, they will stop performing their mission, and go out of their way to defend a woman they think is at risk, even if she is not. This neutralizes their effectiveness and could both get them killed and result in the failure of their mission.
They cannot be trained to *not* obey this biological imperative. They cannot be ordered to not protect females at risk. Nor can they be compelled to.
While the majority of men are more than willing to send women out to “draw fire”, they are almost certainly not superior warriors. But for these precious few to be neutralized, and fail their unit and their mission, will result in battles and even wars being lost.
Yet in the final analysis, this is not the women’s fault. But it is most certainly the fault of those who, as an argument of their pseudo-religion, insist that women must be equal to men by fighting in combat.
These fools will not only get men and women killed, and make the military fail in its mission; but absolutely nothing good will come from their efforts. Women will not change, and cannot be forced to change, and neither can men.
As much as their pseudo-religion says they can be. That they *must* be changed.
