What happens when the first female is captured in combat and brutally murdered? What about when al-Qaeda rapes a woman on video and uploads it to YouTube for all to see? How will the American public handle that?

The left wants this. That is the whole point of the excercise.

You could very well be correct. They’ll use that incident to undermine our military even more than they have up to this point. The left hates our nation so much.

The liberals are telling us that this is a step forward for women, and that not having women in combat is discrimination, etc. etc. We’ll see how this goes over.

Roseanne Barr, Joy Behar and Lisa Lampanelli >>>>>>>>>>>

Diane Feinstein, Hillery Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi would also benefit from a slice of combat.They would effectively
show the enemy how American women can die for their country!

Constitution isn’t even considered anymore. Just that you like the idea or not.

Female enlistments will plummet, dramatically. Females won’t even bother going to recruiters, let alone being talked into joining by one. Guaranteed.

No, you see, that’s where you’re wrong. I have a friend who knows a guy who was in the infantry in Iraq and Afghanistan, and sometimes his infantry unit did missions where women went along (to search the local women, for example). Sometimes the women even got killed when things went sideways. That’s proof enough that women can do whatever the infantry do.

/sarc, sorry.

Whatever happened to common sense?

Our enemies must be laughing at us.

Wait for the women to be drafted—its coming like the next big war—its just a question of when.

Do the math. How many future generations die with a woman compared to a man.

You're not eating your seed corn, you're turning it into ethanol.

If they want true equality, girls should be required to signup for Selective Service.

I don’t support the idea, it will lead to ugly things happening at some point.

That’s what happens on a battlefield.

A good number of the women currently serving are lesbians who can now be open about it.

I envision hi-tech lesbians and lower tech jihadis battling it out on police action battlefields around the world in the years ahead.

Another aspect of this is a purging of the military to put more politically reliable persons in charge of the advanced weaponry.

The progressive left’s mantra of “women and minorities” is all about putting leftists who happen to fit those descriptions into positions of power and influence.
