Yeah.
In the bad old days of “Rambo”—we actually tried to WIN wars.
Not any more, evidently.

Enemy snipers will target women first with the intent to wound them and draw their would be rescuers out to save them.

As hard as it will be to watch a man bleed out in such a scenario, who will be able to sit still when a woman is screaming for help as her male counterparts watch her die?

Expect more American casualties.

The only way this works is for a lowering of physical standards to accomodate women, which is something they “claim” they wont do. Stand by.

This is just so wrong every way. They will be compromising the effectiveness of every unit in the theater of operation.
I despise BO and his minions and what they are doing to this country.

Equality of the sexes in the military services is being achieved through court decisions and bureaucratic policy. Should there be another need for a large scale draft similar to past wars, women will be in the “lottery” on an equal basis as men. What needs to be determined is what to do with transgered individuals - drafted or medically excluded from the manpower pool? What a mess these ultra leftist policies will achieve at the altar of “equality.”

Everyone knows women can’t fight and that they can’t live in the field but this has nothing to do with combat effectiveness or winning wars or anything like that. This is pure social engineering. This is about destroying the natural social roles of men and women. This is about creating genderless drones for the communistic New World Order.

I find homosexuals to be very depressive. They are mentally deviant in many aspects.

They won’t do the most obvious thing to find out if women in combat will work—simply form a number of all female combat units from women who meet their standards and see how they perform.

The IDF did this years ago and finally learned it was a mistake to do so. Let’s see how long this social experiment will last.

You are correct. After WWII the Feds haven’t been that interested in winning any wars or conflicts.

The new military won’t be trained to kill foreign enemies and break things.

They will be trained to distribute birth control, set up Planned Parenthood centers, build and staff child care facilities, build mosques and do Muslim Outreach.

The only training they will recieve in the use of force and violence is how to combat and dominate Bitter Clingers here in the USA.

This really needs to be stopped ASAP. Congress should have some say-so, no matter what the Regime thinks.
