Women can out kung-fu, outfight, and outshoot men ALL THE TIME. I see it in the movies constantly.

That’s exactly what our shemale POTUS wants . . . feminine-like military . . . especially those macho homo-hating marines . . . those ill equipped women are not going anywhere.

Has the Marine Corps ever had a more inept commandant than General James F. Amos?

Women’s rights groups contend that uniform standards are exclusionary

The whole point of standards are to exclude people that can not meet them.

Standards are the basis of civilization. Without standards then there can be no civilization.

The goal of these so-called "Women's Rights Groups" (really, the men that finance them) is nothing less than the overthrow of our civilization.

"I'd recruit women like these anytime... "

Stunt doubles?

15 minutes break time between each take and action?

That's really going to speed up action on the front lines.

(Notification) “Mrs. XXX, We regret to inform you that your son, John, was killed in action on XX-XX-XXXX.”
(Letter) “Mrs. XXX, I’m (Bob) the guy next to John in that photo. I was with him when we were wounded. My wound was very minor, and I picked up (Ralph) and carried him back to the aid station. By the time I got back, Johnny had died from loss of blood because Sally (other side of John) couldn’t lift him to carry him.”

Think like the left...

Standards, by definition, discriminate .....and per our modern world, discrimination is wrong ....particularly when it is against people that were previously discriminated against...

.ergo anybody that previously did not meet the standard now meets the standard because the standard was wrong because it discriminate against them

To my daughter’s dismay, I keep reminding my grandson and grandaughter that boys and girls really ARE different!

Oh, come on...

We ALL know that women would have taken Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Okinawa in MUCH less time than icky Men.... especially against those misogynist women-hating Japs... err... Japanese... who were, after all, actually just victims who were ONLY responding to aggression introduced by evil corporatist imperialist war-mongering American White Christian Heterosexual Slave-Owning Gun-Owning Males...

Yeah, yeah... that’s right.

All military commanders are under the authority of the President. If given an order to “give women equal (combat) rights” he has two choices: “Yes, sir.” or “Here’s my resignation.”

I probably would have resigned, but not being in that position and not knowing the full story, I cannot say for sure.

It appears that all US military commanders have been handed a 5 lb bag of excrement from the POTUS and commanded to make a sandwich. In their efforts to make said sandwich palatable, some have asked,

“Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?”

You realize those women are actresses, and the photos are staged and do not represent actual physical prowess or capabilities.

Also, an ability to do gymnastic moves in a lightweight exercise outfit, does not represent a combat survival skill.

But they do look nice.

BTW, women have NO place in combat, even if they all can do 20 pullups and fight like Ziva David.

Think of “Blackhawk Down”, with an entirely female crew, being broadcast on the Evening News.

Discrimination? Why yes it is but it has no bearing on gender. In 1970, about half of the recruits who started in my platoon actually graduated with us and at least half of those who were recycled eventually were let go. Most had problems with the physical requirements that even a stint in the Physical Conditioning Platoon (like P90 training on steroids) didn’t help with.

These were all guys who were disqualified and the requirements back then were certainly not wimpy by any stretch.
