An excellent argument for keeping women out of combat.

I know someone who lived in NYC at the time (WWII), and he recalled that the blackout ostensibly to prevent the silhouetting of ships was actually to prevent NYers from seeing the ships damaged by U-boat attacks limping into port at night. Our government never told the public how bad it was during “Drumbeat”, but some things couldn’t be concealed; IIRC, off the Florida coast sunbathers watched a U-boat on the surface sink a ship off the beach - and the U-boat was between the beach and the ship itself.

Name, rank and serial number....that is what I thought was allowed. However, I am a civilian so my post is pretty much useless. 😉
To: xrmusn
I believe German subsidiaries of American insurance companies could also access information on the cargoes of specific cargo ships as well; some of the officers of torpedoed ships were shocked at how much the U-boat officers knew about the ships they were sinking...

THE SOLDIERS CODE
Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower Addresses Troops Of The 101st Airborne Division 5 June 1944, The Eve Of D-Day Normandy
The Soldiers Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.
6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Oh no....you are probably right... that’s why women should not be in combat.
Men will want to protect them, to their own detriment.
To: Truth29
I don’t believe what they are saying. I think its a cover up for Obama and some sort of hostage exchange. They told our men take the blame, take the hit or else. Look over here, not over there type of thing. Something major happened. No way the men didn’t use their navigation and accidentally landed in Iranian territory. Nope something big happened and we are being fed this story.

Men have to have someone to fight for, whether she's the USO entertainer or the housewife saving scrap metal or the Rosie the Riveter or some Army desk clerk. Women can help, powerfully even, but NOT on the field of battle. On the field of battle they weaken and distract and destroy troop integrity and fighting strength. I will not apologize for what I've said here.

Rest assured, as long as I am breathing, you have someone in lock step with you.
Like I say, as Long as I am alive, BO and LIBS and RINOs/GOPes in general will never attain 100% favorability.

Why don’t you check with Travis McGee, who was a Navy Seal re what he felt happen with the two boats.
Read about the USS Cole and what happened to the sailors on that unarmed ship in a semi hostile port.
Did you ever serve in the military?
Those of us, who, did not sign a suicide pact, when we took/made the oath.

Exactly...That’s been my biggest argument all along...It’s the instinct in every man born to protect a woman...He may do it subconsciously, but he will do it....

I think Mike Tyson had a decent quote.
“Everybody’s got a game plan,....until they get punched in the mouth...”
One can argue about the effectiveness of women in combat billets, until they get decked in the face.
