Ok ladies, lets gear up.
Marinettes? Gruntrixes?
No. No! NOOOOOOO!!!!
It’s bad ENOUGH that bootcamp in the regular army has been weakened and feminized- the infantry is the LAST place where at least some of the requirements are still stringent- although from what I hear even that is being made more politically correct.
Liberals have slowly yet utterly changed our cultural ideas of what it means to be a man (or a woman, for that matter).
And they did it without ever firing a shot.
IF (Big IF) this happens, it will be as a result of dumbing down the criteria for the gals. Men will continue to meet their current levels - the chicks will have lower standards.
Or - even worse - the standards for becoming a Marine will be so substandard that any he/she/it can qualify.
This ex-squid is shaking his head in disbelief. Well, the option of ‘over the side’ still remains viable.
The infantry is more abput humping 100 pound packs in 110 deg. heat than it is firing an M-16.
Women are the new men.
Ok ladies, lets gear up.
Do I think that women should be in combat? No, I don't.
Done deal, here’s why: No matter how far short these women fall of the standard that standard will be changed until the women are “up to specification”. This lie will then be voiced, supported and saluted by every single Marine who in any way encounters it, or that marine will be booted.
Here is something I hung on to and don't remember the source:
The U.S. Army awarded her the Bronze Star for distinguishing herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service conisting of this:
To me this smacks of what is going wrong in our country. Dumbing down everything: Heroes, education, etc.. When the Lynch issue came out, I felt this was nothing but trying to make Lynch a Joan (John) Wayne-type. Sure enough!
The truth came out. A Marine combat veteran in Iraq put it this way:
If Lynch deserves a Bronze Star (which she doesn't), then they (those engaged in daily combat) deserve a Medal of Honor. Lynch got a Bronze Star as a publicity stunt for the Army. She got it because she is a woman. It's just that simple. If she had been a man, no one would've cared. It is sad to see that in today's world of equality, in the 21st Century, such a thing would happen. Lynch is nothing but a publicity doll for the Army and an embarrassment to the United States military and the true heroes of our nation.
Other input:
She will now become the icon, the symbol of everything the radical feminists desire in completely 'feminizing' the U.S. military. They have their woman-in-combat heroine who will pave the way for some woman, sometime, to become the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - or maybe even the Commander in Chief. All for personal gain. All for the exercise of matriarchal political power in America. And all contributing to the reality of the deterioration of combat effectiveness, the loss of the 'warrior ethos' in our armed forces and, most importantly, a degradation of America's ability to defend itself when faced with an opponent other than a Third-World country.
First and foremost, they should let them go through basic training together, no accommodations. Or at least let the females go through “The Crucible” together with the men on an equal basis.
If you lower the standards enough those women will fit right in!
But once the men start dying because of that lowered standard it’ll be will be interesting to see if the men will take the blame or if they’ll quietly return to the previous standards.
In addition, the gays proudly fit in just fine these days. The fox hole has become an entirely new experience...
