****A rat ran nearby. The soldier and I looked at it but the three women each shrieked and moved to different directions. I said “Imagine them in a fox hole.”****
Reminds me of a Willie and Joe cartoon by Bill Mauldin.
They wake up in a foxhole with a rat looking at them. One grabs a .45, the other says..”Aim between the eyes! They are known to charge when wounded!”
I mistakenly wrtote ‘and’ for ‘an’ but you still got it! Thanx. Try the veal.
The Russians and Israelis both tried this, and both quickly reversed course, for purely practical reasons.
Eventually men will be forbidden to fill combat roles, or any other kind of role anywhere.
What could possibly go wrong!?
Reparations!
Obviously winning and keeping casualties low is not a priority, but we'll have the most politically correct military on earth!
Female seals will have to be able to do at least 5 pushups and 1 pullup.
Timeless stuff- I still enjoy them. I remember (one of the two) in a foxhole with a Sturmgeschutz parked on top of it- he's underneath on the radio to an artillery battery saying "I got a target for you, but you gotta be patient". LOL
Some are suited for combat, just as some men are not. But the liberal mind doesn’t see that. Liberals think all women have exactly the same abilities as all men. Stupid assumption.
Let’s put all that wonderful social engineering to work. Combine a “force” of just women and homosexuals into several battalions and send them into Syria and see how well they do.
I think you might be on to something. For all these centuries women have been as capable as men when it comes to combat. But they have nurtured values and laws that have forced men to fight. Women maintained the lie that they were not capable simply to make men pay the price. Oh - the horror! The history books must be rewritten and we must build monuments to the millions of men that died as a result of these feminist lies.
Test cases won’t prove anything to a liberal; if anything, failure makes them even more motivated for their causes. Case in point is the Romneycare disaster - just increased their zeal for Zer0care. Goes along the line of thinking that Marxism has failed every time its been tried - but they’ll get it right this time!
To really balance the last 20, 30 or a hunert years men should be banned from all combat positions. I mean we really have to be politically correct or make up for all the time we were not politically correct. To hell with any objective of success in combat. It all has to be fair, no make up for not being fair for ever since this country was brought/fought into existence. No more males in the military!!!!!!!
Women can’t carry enough ammo to feed the machinegunner.
“Women can’t even make the NFL. Perhaps the government should lower the standards for pro sports.”
The commissioner of the NFL is doing that all by himself. But that’s another subject!
“It makes no mention of the physical standards - will they be compromised? Will there be a separate set of standards for female seals? Will they not have to endure hell week - or maybe their hell week will be different from that of Men?”
This is all about career advancement for a limited number of female officers. And yes, they will have a separate (lower) set of physical standards.
They will not be doing the more demanding ops, but that won’t be discussed much if at all in the salons in Georgetown
Incrediby stupid idea, and it will result in needless casualties in combat, and much more sexual trauma to the women.
This will make the Armed Forces undeployable. Which is the end game.
