I think women should go into combat and carry a rifle, they should be grunts. But they have to register for the draft and not be eligible for any student aid if they do not. They will simple get pregnant and the men will do the fighting. It happens in every unit the deploys.

I agree, but it’s still a factor. Women connect, women vote.

And the school itself has been how compromised now? We should look more than skin deep.

Compromised?

What school would that be? The Kennedy School? I don't know when she got her degree there, but I don't think it was recent, and it escapes me how it would compromise the school.

Or do you mean the George C. Marshall Center, where she taught after leaving the Air Force? Was there anything out the ordinary there?

No, prisons are not POW camps.

Rapes in prison happen among the inmates.

Male on male rape happens more often than you realize. It happens on stateside bases. The fagalas in the penisgon keep it quiet it does not fit their pro-gay agenda

None of the current crop will escape such scrutiny. There is no way to negate this truism with the current state of affairs, so either you face it head on, or roll over and simply give up, IMO.

I just returned from my second tour in Iraq about a year ago this month. I would put almost all the women in my company up against many of the men.

Sad but true fact, unless you can get the public to support a draft we need those women. Less than 1% of the U.S. population alive today has served in the military. Young men of privilege and 20 somethings that just want to smoke weed and play X-Box and actually most kids that have any other option aren't getting in. If the economy was any better many long term fighting men would leave as well. There really isn't any distinction between combat forces and support forces on todays battlefield because many of the battles are fought by units moving supplies, keeping the peace and guarding bases. When that gate, office or mess hall your working in gets attacked your a combat force like it or not.

First, no one questions the courage of women, we have many examples of it in history.
Second, the issue is the role of the man in the society in protecting women, not putting them harms way.
Third, women are a problem in unit cohesion and create many problems in that regard.

The retired colonel, albeit graduate of USAFA, is part of the syndrome infecting our military and what’s wrong with it. Clowns like this do not belong in Congress, and it’s a sad state of affairs what has come out of the military.

If Rick Santorum becomes President Santorum, this woman should think twice about threatening to kick him in the “jimmy” or anywhere else. She might have the Secret Service knocking on her door.

Also, can you imagine the uproar if a male running for Congress threatened to kick Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters or Hillary Clinton in their va-jay-jay in response to a remark he considered offensive? All hell would break lose.

Some of you may remember the incident with Chinese pilot Wang Wei (known as wrong Wei) in April 2001. He was buzzing a US EP-3E near the Chinese coast, got too close, and struck it. The US plane went out of control and was plunging toward the ocean. The only reason the pilot, Shane Osborn, was able to save himself and the 23 members of his crew was UPPER BODY STRENGTH. Unfortunately, women do not have such body strength. This woman may have been a very good pilot, but had she been in control that day, there would have been 24 dead Americans.

“McSally was represented by the Rutherford Institute in her successful 2001 lawsuit against the Department of Defense, challenging the military policy that required US and UK servicewomen stationed in Saudi Arabia to wear the body-covering abaya when traveling off base in the country.”

I remember that case. From McSally's Wikipedia entry (boldface added, LOL!):

Critics of the policy noted that while female military personnel had been required to wear the abaya, the situation was not the same for "women diplomats" assigned to the US Embassy in Riyadh, who were actually encouraged not to wear the abaya when they were involved in official business, "because they are representing the United States."

The DoD was definitely the ass in that affair, and a law was actually passed making it illegal for DoD to require the abaya or use taxpayer funds to buy it.

Well, a lot of veteran do go into civil service positions, so that isn’t real far fetched, postal workers union, an LEO union etc. She’s higher level than that though, probably a pilot’s union if anything.

Women ‘marines’ are not frontline combat troops.

Yes, it is a real problem in naval units, where a woman will get pregnant and not have to deploy.

I’m thinking Santorum may not have a “Jimmy”. In fact, he may have a “Jill”...

What about a Richard

You can face these issues with some form of risk mitigation; something Rick needs to work on.

There is a vast difference between the Infantry and soldiers of various other MOS's who happen to need to use their rifles in an emergency. My comments were specifically about the Infantry, not whether or not women should serve in other capacities in the Army. There are many jobs for women in the Army, but the combat arms don't happen to be among them.
