Of course they are, but they are clearly idiots. What is amazing are the many others who are accepting their arguments without any thought or rational analysis.

In September, the Marines released an executive summary that said women in the study sustained significantly higher injury rates than men, were less accurate with infantry weapons and had more difficulty moving “wounded” troops off the battlefield.<<<

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!..Who would have thunk it!!!!!!

This crap will go on until we have a major battle against a strong, islamic foe who takes prisoners and systematically rapes the female captives. They have covered up the sexual assaults against the few female POWs, but the reality is that every female POW will be repeatedly raped by her captors.

That is not even mentioning the fundamental physical differences between women and men in combat.

zactly.
They ignored the part of the Marine executive summary that says the women stunk firing both personal and crew weapons.

Warfare is a dangerous business. Since every Marine is a rifleman, every Marine can be slotted as a replacement in a combat unit.
Can't vouch for a women in the same circumstances.

Put women where they belong!!

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:

I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

The Feminazi’s need to put their money where their big mouths are at. How many of them do you think will actually join the military? Extremely few. Instead, they want to ‘open the door’ for OTHER PEOPLES daughters to be drafted and do the fighting.

I have 4 daughters. None of them would be capable of serving in a combat role, and none of them have even contemplated the subject. I will not allow these social engineer communists to draft any of my daughters into the military if they are unwilling to go.

Draft Chelsea Clinton, put her on the front line. Have Mckenzie dip-shit give up her cushy professor mouthpiece job and join the Australian infantry if that’s what she is determined to do.
