Marines are made (some at PI some at Dago) not born; some of us just happen to be born with a greater propensity for violent solutions to difficult problems.
Ask an engineer how to remove a bridge or mountain, he will tell you to get the proper equipment and dismantle it, ask a Marine and he will tell you to use more C-4.
“ALWAYS BE POLITE, ALWAYS BE PROFESSIONAL, ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN TO KILL EVERYTHING WITH A PULSE”.
SEMPER FI.
I am an old man now, but I will always be a MARINE.

One other thing Napsy boy; there wouldn’t be any live MARINES if we weren’t one hell of a lot smarter than you squids.

What gets me about this is that the feminists want men brought up on sexual harassment charges if they brush up against a woman in a narrow passageway or if they make an off-color joke in their presence. I guess it is just too much for the women to deal with. What do they think is going to happen to them when they are captured on the front line ? It is going to be more than off-color jokes. Yet they push for this.

"As we move forward we will maintain our standards and maximize the talent and skills of all Marines, male and female, to strengthen our corps and increase our combat effectiveness," he said.

If they do maintain the standards, then there won't be many women in combat. Sounds like a plan

But the question remains. Are the standards the same for women as they are for men ?

“I hate to say it, but I would NOT recommend any patriotic male joining the Armed Forces these days. The political correctness and a politicized leadership following asinine ideologies and orders - will get you killed, out of sheer stupidity.”

I’m torn on that. There is a value in infiltration.

God bless you and your departed Brothers. Seriously.

I try really hard to be levelheaded here but sometimes I want to reduce fruit to liquid with a K-Bar.

I'm going to Confession this week, I suppose.

CMC had no choice. It came first from SECNAV, and then from SECDEF. Do you not understand it was the American citizenry that fawked this up?

It's time to move on from leathernecks to leather purses. I'm sure this will work out really swell.

Hey, I've got a great idea. Let's reinstitute the draft and include women!

The War On Women is just getting started and the Liberals and feminists are leading the charge!

Another Obama stool pigeon traitor who would rather keep his job than protect America. Obama purged all high level military and replaced them with yes men like this. Obama and Michelle are probably watching this puppet and cracking up laughing as they smoke pot in the White House.

I'm not torn anymore. My son, who just recently was honorably discharged, served as an infantryman and did a tour in Afghanistan. The political BS and asinine ROE get people killed.

Neither he nor I would recommend anyone joining the military in ANY combat arms position. As this story illustrates, the military doesn't run the military, the President and other clueless politicians do and they make up rules which will get either your child killed or your friends child killed.

As a side note: I come from a long line of veterans. I served 6 years in the Navy. My Dad was in the Navy in Korea. I have uncles that were in WWII and Vietnam. My ancestry can even be traced back to sailors who fought against the British in the Revolutionary War.

Jim, this is the kind of social experimentation that
cost lives to pay for a lesson that didn’t need to be
relearned.

This type of interference made our forces pay a heavy
price at the beginning of the Korean war. Then later
fighting it as a political tactic cost more lives.

What they are doing is criminal.
