Without logistical support the infantry would grind to a halt.

The Marine Corps offered an opportunity. Some gals took up the challenge.

To wardaddy, thanks for sharing your deep intellect.

this old lady agrees with you 100%. Don’t want any female that was gender normed to get into these professions any where near me.

Support the military and our nation’s defenses, not the feminists who don’t belong their in the first place and are hurting it.

Women are a serious problem in the military.

These women wasted our time and money, and wanted to hurt our ability to fight and to hurt the Marine Corps, and to feed their feminist politics over duty.

I question their being officers at all, they obviously put self over everything, each one of them was hoping that she would be the one, the glory hog to hurt the Marine Corps and our ability to win wars and cause deaths.

Women are not a serious problem in the military. There are plenty of slots women can fill, they are just not in combat arms.

Yes they are a serious problem in the military and are weakening it badly, and they are not at the goal of 50% yet. They introduce left wing politics, nurseries, gynecologists, they are expensive, get injured too much, and drag down the overall standards and capabilities.

They have been a drag since the left introduced them 40 years ago, they used to be limited by law to 2% or less, where they served in legal, nursing, medical, and finance.

They are not equivalent to men, and slow everything down and need help doing basic things, things as simple as moving material, changing a truck tire, lifting a large pot of soup, getting over a wall, lifting something up above their head, getting into a truck, putting up a large tent.

They are females replacing men, in work that requires men to reach maximum standards.

I expect Obama to announce that as C-in-C, the new slogan for the USMC will be “Every Marine a Social Worker”...I could imagine him banning the use of guns by Marines as lacking understanding and sympathy.

"The Marine Corps offered an opportunity. Some gals took up the challenge."

The Marine Corps was forced to offer the "opportunity" by non-military leftist bureaucrats for purely political purposes. Any female officer who would enter the program does not have the good of the Corps or the military at heart, any more than those who forced the program to be offered for political purposes in the first place have the good of the military at heart.

Only the USMC could withstand political correctness. They must indeed be patrolling Heaven.

Yes, I think you are right. But there are a lot of Boomers who have bought into some of the PC garbage.

Unfortunately, the left’s propaganda program has been quite successful in bringing about a lot of social change. Look how many people, for example, see nothing wrong with premarital or even non-marital co-habitation.
