RATS continue turning the Military into a social experiment.

If women are equal to men on the front lines now just use women only. That seems fair, right?

Lets go fight the Russians or Chinese. And let them use all men while we use all women. Since it makes no difference ya know....

[Slyfox]

How many girls are gonna get pregnant just to get out of combat?

Oh, wait, Nobama will just institute compulsory abortions.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Technology will help to some extent. E.g. battlefield robots, and exoskeletons may soon enable female soldiers (or Marines) to pack as much gear as their male counterparts.

Russian hard line troops against girls and panzies.

Not going to be a good fight for US.

[Clock King]

Yep. Front line combat is going to be so wonderful for women.

[snowrip]

The next war fought by American troops will be fought by men and women on the front line.

Which is why we will lose.

[onedoug]

And Godless to boot. The end of the United States.

[American in Israel]

For starters, there are more sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups.

Who is taking odds, cause the bet is your familys lives.

"Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Dempsey said that if "a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn't make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain...why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high?"

Standards at PI have already been lowered. Expect them to be further lower so that women can succeed.

So much for what was supposed to be the primary mission of the military. Never thought I’d see the day when, say, football or hockey respected reality over pc more than the military. The object is to win, now sports recognise that objective more clearly than the forces which are supposed to defend the nation.

“As the only boot camp for women enlisting the Marine Corps, Parris Island has a well earned reputation.”

PI had a “well earned reputation” long before a group of traitors/idiots/social engineers (take your pick) ever thought of putting women in combat.

They just relieved the CO of OCS at Quantico because three of his enlisted died in a love triangle murder-suicide. Once Obama finishes, there will be “love quadrangles” and worse.

If they are going to fully integrate front line troops, let them start at boot camp. Line ‘em up for their physicals in their skivvy shorts with their laundry numbers drawn on their chests in magic marker. Male-female-male-female-whatever-notreallysure-female-male “back to chest”, “close it up”. We will find out very quickly how well this abomination works.

If you’re going to have love triangles & fights in the ranks, sort it out on the drill field, not when you’re getting shot at and someone’s life is depending on you doing the competent, unselfish thing.

When I went to USAF boot camp we eventually got to the point where we were begging for more exercise. The TI informed us that he wished he could give us more and there used to be, but they had to keep the training standards equal to the the female flights. So I know first hand that the standards were lowered in the late 70s. I'm sure the other services were following suit at about the same time. Was told that the Marines kept their standards but if that was the case, few if any women would have passed. No idea how many times the standards were lowered between then and now.

When a female gets herself killed trying to carry off a 6’3” 185 pound Marine (that’s my son’s size) and gets him killed as well, there shall be hell to pay. BOOK IT!!

[katana]

They can make excellent urban snipers. Just ask Sixth Army, Wermacht. The Red army deployed about 2,000 during WWII.

[Altura Ct.]

That’s the ticket. Let’s show how really assbackward a nation we are!

[ex-snook]

I think it is a lot harder to train a female to kill and live in dirt for weeks. But I was a WW II infantryman and we had females for pin-ups and memories. Maybe today’s gals are different but I doubt it.

“It’s about time, says retired Army Lt. Colonel Wanda Robinson. She’s a South Carolina teacher now..”

Teacher. That’s where you belong, you dumb turd. You could never don an 80-pound combat pack - with a rifle - and do a 15-mile force-march into a combat zone. And after you arrive, have the physical stamina to engage the enemy in a firefight that might last for days.

Ask the Marines who took sugar loaf hill in Okinawa in 1945. It wasn’t a place for women. Those Marines who survived suffered for months and years after that battle.

I don’t want women in combat. Go teach.
