Does it matter if a woman isn’t as strong or as fast as a man? If she needs help climbing a high wall during a firefight or dragging a heavy colleague off the battlefield – does that make her less of an asset?

Yes.

“It’s not about ‘God and country.’ When the shit hits the fan, it’s about the guy to your right and to your left. You gotta have what it takes to finish the fight.”


It's called;

The Will To Kill

Y'got it .. or you don't.

period.

THAT is America's downfall .. we're being OVERLY sensitized TO life .. no matter if it's enemy or not.

How else can you explain don't fire on the enemy until they've shot twice, called your mother a dirty name, walked up and spit in your face while they slap you ...

Can I shoot NOW sahge .. huh? .. CAN I ?

Any society that sends its women to fight for it before it sends the cane-borne old men and the non-shaving boys deserves to be destroyed.

During WWII, nearly 10% of the entire population of this country was in uniform; towards the end we were drafting older men, men who had trouble seeing and hearing, men with flat feet.

But we never sent women to fight.

when going into ground combat... i’m sure it’s a comfort to the foot soldier to know we’ve deliberately looked for those people of lower physical prowess

next up: now more then 7 bullets in their magazines

“What we lack, males can pick up,” Warren said. “What males lack, we can pick up. It’s a give-and-take.”

So what was this previously-all-male group lacking that the new addition of females now supplies?

So the women jumped and reached, and when they couldn’t make it, instructors would allow one to climb on another’s back in order to reach the bar and continue.

Didn't take long to adjust the standards...

A few years ago I saw a documentary on Marine Recruit Training in which the way that male and female recruits react to the experience was explored.After one difficult training module the males were interviewed.They appeared to be,and sounded,tired,sore and rather dispirited.The women were interviewed after the same module and several of them were crying uncontrollably.Just as there's no crying in baseball there's no crying in stressful combat situations.

IMO,at least.

Stylish accessories and built in vessels for combat stress reduction.

It’s about population control. Young women will, at the very least, be prevented from reproducing during their prime fertility years. Yes, I know they get pg now to avoid getting sent overseas. That will change however once more of them are in service. Contraception, injected, will become mandatory for female service personnel under the age of 40. Just wait.

Women who get killed prior to their having a child are a ‘win/win’ for the population control wackjobs.

But even before that: an enormous increase in the number of "courageous restraint" medals awarded to combat troops.

“So, for example, while a 20- to 24-year-old man must do at least 37 push-ups and run 1½ miles in 13½ minutes, a woman the same age must do 16 push-ups and run 1½ miles in 15½ minutes.

“What we lack, males can pick up,” Warren said. “What males lack, we can pick up. It’s a give-and-take.”

Yep, this’ll get people killed.

they donned more than 30 pounds of gear,

About 60 pounds short of a light combat load

Schnatzmeyer, who barely passes 5 feet tall, joined the Maritime Expeditionary Security Force a year ago

Oh boy, trouble brewing right here in River City

“I felt like I had to prove myself a little bit, but most of the guys here are really nice.”

Now, isn't that special. Helping the girls out when they need it most. I'm sure that the Ragheads will show them the same courtesy.

The Barbarians will soon be at the gates and we will not have enough gold to buy them off.

I feel completely betrayed by all this trans- genderized homosexualization of the military. There’s not a single General Officer in the military at this point worthy to wear their rank. This is a damned travesty.

"And none managed to climb the ropes. But they were satisfied."

Well good. Because that's what it's all about, right -- being satisfied?
