Women in Combat Put Men at Risk

Crickets. This was the sound of America reacting to news earlier this month that all military positions, including ground combat, will be opened to women.

It is axiomatic that the White House, not just this one, makes controversial announcements when people are otherwise distracted. Usually, this means late Friday afternoons when there isn't much time for the media to make trouble. This particular announcement came on a Thursday, the day after two vicious killers opened fire on a holiday party in San Bernardino.

Ever since, all eyes have been on the assault and aftermath, as well as the antics of Donald Trump, while the notion of women in combat faded from the nation's peripheral vision.

Arguments against this move are many, some of which I touched upon in a previous column that focused on women's unequal opportunity to survive because of various physical differences. This time, I submit another crucially important but politically incorrect proposition: Men's lives will also be put at greater risk if women are in combat.

The reasoning should be obvious. Plainly put, men tend to like women quite a lot and either will be tempted to express their attraction, and/or will want to protect their female companions. Scoff if you must, but blame nature.

As you read this and for the ones of you that have granddaughters and daughters that will certainly be drafted in the future, please understand they will come home in body bags just like your sons. How on earth does putting women into roles that are not capable of performing improve combat readiness? It doesn't. Also let's see how liberals like it when a female assigned to a combat unit is captured, then decapitated on national TV. Let's also not forget that Congress has always made the call on women in combat and this is just another responsibility they renigged on and gave approval to the moron in chief.

But those faggots in their unit -- they let them die whenever they can.

“renigged”

Baby, you’re the niggest!

I agree with your sentiments, but I don't really think that "renigged" is the word you were looking for. Not PC, don't you know. (It's "reneged.")

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Baby, you’re the niggest!

Fo shizzle!

[Politicalkiddo]

They are welcome to try to draft me and see what I do.

Again and again on issues, we see that liberals set the terms of the debate, and they set the criteria for judgement. It’s happened again on the issue of females in combat.

What I mean by liberals setting the terms of debate, is that liberals claim it is discriminatory not to have women in combat positions, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, etc.

So rather than discuss the issue in terms of combat readiness, unit cohesion, or any other matters of military preparedness to carry out the mission, the liberals force the issue into a debate about discrimination against females.

And on that line of reasoning, the media and this administration take the position that we should allow women in combat.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I think even the toughest G.I. will lose it the first time he witnesses a female get splattered over a 20-yard area. Women are nurturers (don’t have any problem with that) - men are protectors, plain and simple.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

My Nigggs!

MRC-ME Female standard grenades #ICU2 will be issued as optional
accessories for enlisted combatants.  MRC-ME is reduced in explosive
power by 40% to provide a blast radius small enough to protect
the thrower when the user can't physically toss the weapon far
enough away to escape sharpnel.  Additionally, the pull pin is
constructed of hardened cotton fibers to prevent the thrower
from possibly breaking a nail when extracting. MRC-ME will be
issued with a light-weight pewter chain enabling the user, should
she forget to pull the pin before throwing, to retrieve the grenade
without placing herself in harm's way.

I think we are past the time of sentimentalizing women. In the aggregate, they commit more murder by far than any other group in this country; they have been quite happy to take unearned positions and income through affirmative action; and, they have been quite busy destroying our culture in a thousand ways through feminism in all of its perverse variations. No one need bother telling me not all women are like that because that is obviously true. But, we need to stop sentimentalizing women. There is something very wrong with women as group, and it’s about time that men and women confront the evil, deranged part of the female population.

[NKP_Vet]

Then reneged. Point of the matter is it’s Congress that determines if WOMEN can serve in combat and they make the call not the paper hanger in chief. That is dereliction of duty. Another reason why every incumbent should be voted out of office. Congress also determines if homosexuals can openly serve and that’s something else they passed the buck on. There’s a reason why Congress is at around 10% approval. They refuse to do their damn job.

We live in a Bizarro Universe.

On last night's edition of The McLaughlin Group Ash Carter's speech was discussed. Everyone on the panel except for Pat Buchanan talked as if this issue had been fully discussed and agreed on by the US Public.

No. It has not been.

The last time there was a major national discussion about women in the military the vast consensus was against it, especially for combat positions.

The last few years we've been talking about gays and trannies in the military. At no time did we discuss women in combat.

The weaselly British National Review hack was only against women in combat because the statistics suggested they got injured more and would be a hazard during missions.

Pat was the only one sensible enough to stridently and accurately claim it was a very bad idea all around.

We are being led by amoral and immoral morons.

The only good news that came from the discussion is that the liberals believed that Ash Carter's timing of the speech just before the next Republican debate was aimed at getting the Republicans to oppose it and supposedly lose the votes of women.

Hah!

Those Republicans who are as strenuous in their opposition to women in combat as Pat will GAIN votes from women rather than lose them.

The elite have spent so much time in their bubble they are completely delusional. Their delusion is our only hope.

Another devastating Fem Weapon is in the works, merciless.

Somehow libs will be able to say its worse when a female soldier is killed than when a male one is.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Pax ... I was only pointing out your very egregious spelling error, in the hopes that if you correct it, you’ll spare yourself some inconvenience in the future. I’m in complete agreement with your sentiments!

[Twinkie]

The vast majority of women do not have the upper body
strength for the heavy lifting necessary in combat.
In combat, you need to be able to lift your wounded
buddy and carry him as far as necessary for help.
A former Army officer told me over 20 yrs. ago that
when they got the “bug out” alarm, his unit, consisting
of several women, could not lift the heavy equipment
into the trucks - so they simply ended up not bugging
out. In that case, it was a drill. When it becomes vital
to bug out; it will matter if shelling hits.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Additionally, the pull pin is constructed of hardened cotton fibers to prevent the thrower from possibly breaking a nail when extracting.

Ah, but is it flushable?

[Secret Agent Man]

The only ones wo will act like that are the marines sleeping with the females.

This is just not going to end well, everyone kmows it, and one side still deliberately pushes it.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Hard to say since in their sacrificial abortion worship, females are murdered over twice over than males.

Libs hate humanity period. A dead body is always something to celebrate for them.
