I’m still kicking myself for sending this RINO money a few years ago so he could beat that crazy liberal woman.

Rush Limbaugh’s “All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion” finally becomes a reality?

I continue to be strongly opposed to women on the front line. Renewed feminism, gays and their marriage and troop reductions - what a great presidency this has been.

Ditto. These morons have no idea what is expected of a soldier assigned to a front line combat unit. IOTV’s don’t get lighter because you’re a woman. A 249B doesn’t carry itself etc.

If women are assigned to these units, the remaining men in the units will be carrying her weight literally. Also, if you’re clearing a building and have to take a room. Where do you put the woman in the stack. If she’s the first person in the door, and finds herself wresteling with a 200 pound man in the dark (Giving up 70-100 pounds) what happens then. I’ll tell you what happens, you put her where she’s at least risk and that means forcing the male members of her unit to bear some of her share of the risk.

These unbelievable idiots are living in a Hollywood psychotic fantasy world, IMO.

Unless millions of patriots stand up to the insanity engulfing our elected officials and put a permanent end to it, this country is doomed, IMO.

It’s bad, bad, bad.

If I were young, I wouldn’t join the military now.

Really? We’re to our women to the front lines of battle?

Not a matter of their capability, but more a matter of opening a whole new dimension of how ugly war can get...

I would prefer not.

Marxist denial of Natural Law Theory! Sorry, Brown. There is a difference between the nature of men and the nature of women.

This denial of Natural Law is egalitarianism—to make men and women interchangeable—so that the State can reshape man and destroy all biological relationships. Marx loathed religion and family.

Women are not equal to men in many areas and should not be fighting against men. How stupid is that Scott Brown to ignore science and our Constitution which affirms the Laws of Nature. (P.S. It means homosexual “marriage” is not legal either—it is unnatural and against the Laws of Nature. And the promotion of sodomy as “good” and “acceptable” is also EVIL and needs to be eliminated from the military! It destroys the freedom of religion>)

OUr government is supposed to promote Virtue—never evil—and never destroy the traditions and mores of society. Communism does that to destroy cultures.

The “field” is really raunchy. I sure wouldn’t want it for a daughter of mine.

American men have become so emasculated and wussified that every single institution in America is now tainted with the evils of brain dead liberalism, feminism, Marxism and identity politics.

Our ancestors would have never tolerated women in combat going back to the dawn of civilization.

Even a few decades ago this would have been a joke.

If a woman can meet the same standards set for men, don't hold her back.

In general, experience around the world is that women don't hold up well in the infantry/armor/artillery but can serve well in other combat positions as well as partisan/guerrilla roles.

Contacting my daughter on this. She was with the first units into Iraq. Even though it was a support unit, I know that they had daily mortar attacks with loss of life.
