The left wants this. That is the whole point of the excercise.
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.
When soldiers deploy they live together, sleep together, eat together, shower together, and bleed together
Does this writer have zero knowledge about the military??
Women are already deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan and have been the entoire time of the wars.........

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.
You're not eating your seed corn, you're turning it into ethanol.
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.
1. Make all qualified women register with the Selective System (draft) within the same requirements as men. The women recruits will reduce in huge numbers.
2. NO, I repeat NO, special treatment for women. They can't handle the same pushups in "basic" nor carry an 80lb load on their baks, they are eliminated from infantry.
I believe that even the most butch women will never ever succeed in SEALS, Delta Forces, Special Forces (Green Berets), Rangers, Marine Recon. If they can jump out of an aircraft as Airborne, then okay. But what can they do when they hit the ground with an 80lb runsack, plus weapons, ammo, and body armor?
I guarantee you there will never be a female SEAL.
Just read the other day that the 2 women had to "ring out" from Ranger training. As tough as Rangers are, SEALs are even worst. There is not one woman in this nation that could accomplish SEAL training. Most large hardy men don't make it through the training. It's arguably the hardest training of all the elite forces in the world. Bring the butches on and see how they survive. I would like to see it.
That said, if a woman has the balls to be a sniper, than she should go for it. But than sniper training is extremely rigourous. They want to be warrors, then let them go through the same exact training. It's harsh training.
Forget the NFL...name me one college football team that has a female on it.
For that matter, name one high school football team with a female on it. (Perhaps a kicker someplace???)
There is reason for this, especially at the collegiate level where “equality” is all the rage and surely to be challenged.
In short, are we more interested in winning for Ole County High than we are in winning the nation’s wars?
This article’s a waste of space. All you say is this:
“Men fight for women or over women. Not with women.”
Still not convinced?
“How combat effective would you be after seeing your wife blown up by a land mine?”
In researching Leon Panetta’s military history, I see (on Wikipedia) where he joined the United States Army in 1964 as a Second Lieutenant, served as an officer in Army Military Intelligence, received the Army Commendation Medal, and was discharged in 1966 as a First Lieutenant. His only military service was for two years during the Viet Nam conflict! I guess this was his foundation of understanding the military and why he decided that women could serve in combat!
