Women In Combat: "Fairness" Vs. Biological Fact

President Obama, in dogged pursuit of his liberal Nirvana, is free to lift the ban on women serving in combat positions.

He is, alas, unable to repeal the laws of nature, physics or gravity.

Ask a combat veteran you know how he would have felt knowing that, after being wounded in combat, the only person around to pick him up and carry him to safety was a 5-foot-3, 120-pound woman.

Ask any active duty serviceman how he’d feel knowing that, as he lay on the ground bleeding, the only thing between him and a cave-hardened Tali-ban killer was a 20-year-old woman from the wilds of Wellesley.

Don’t ask these men how they feel about women in positions of power, or about working side-by-side with the opposite sex. Every American male under the age of 50 grew up in a world with women in power: From the principals in our schools to the cops on our streets and the managers at our offices. The notion that America is a sexist nation, or that — as Obama repeatedly asserts — business owners have the desire or ability to pay women less for the same work, is a liberal fiction.

The stupidity and wrong-headedness of the Obama administration’s “women in combat” decision has nothing to do with the proper social position of women and everything to do with indisputable, biological fact.

Facts reported by professor Kingsley Browne of Wayne State University, author of the book “Co-ed Combat”:

Has anyone asked women if they really, really want to go into combat? Who, man or woman, in their right mind really “want” to be involved in the nastiness of combat? Insanity reigns supreme.

This has been going on for 40 years or more and there are plenty of women in combat and who have died.

Ode to the Spell Check

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It cam with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew!
