I’m dumb so I had to look him up. How interesting! That he gave “hookers” their name!
I guess General Skank’s girlfriends weren’t as attractive!! ;)
Thank You, and SARGON, That is going to leave a mark! heh heh
What insanity...
I saw Blackhawk Down last night. There’s no way that women fighting in that battle would ever survive, or defeat the enemy.
“Why not compromise and put them in seperate, segregated units?”
I doubt that an all-female combat unit could function in reality.
Abusive language? He simply pointed out his qualifications to judge the situation and questioned yours. Granted, I understand why that might be painful to you, since getting blown up is never pleasant.
As a great military mind once said, “Lighten up, Francis!”
Yes, abusive language...
Female Infantry Marines? Really? Ridiculous.
Nobody has a ‘right’ to serve, it is a privilege reserved for those who have the right attributes to be an asset rather than a liability. Even if there are a handful of women physically capable of matching a fit young man in his prime, men will always form the overwhelming majority of combat soldiers, and if their presence upsets the group dynamic and has an effect on morale or a units cohesion and fighting efficiency, then they should be excluded, because the military is about being a lethal and efficient tool, not social justice in providing a new and exciting career opportunity for women.
Of course nobody has a right to serve, and that's not what's going on. What's happening is that there are thousands of women in all sorts of military roles who are doing their job, as judged by their fellow soldiers.
I'm basing my opinion, at least in part, on the firsthand testimony of male soldiers who have served with females in their unit, or associated units.
And what I've heard those soldiers say is that these women belong, they're an integral part of the team, they're doing their jobs and, in short, they are good soldiers.
Unit cohesion is an important thing, and I've not heard a single anecdote from any male soldier that disparages female soldiers in these units, although I'm sure they exist.
I'm not saying the armed forces should be democratic, but if these women are accepted by their fellow soldiers, and it's not causing a morale problem, and the playing field is even, and everyone's doing their job then I simply don't have a problem with it...
