36 million dollar study the Marines did that clearly showed that coed and all female units are slower and weaker than all male units...
36 million for what I could have told them?!?!?
I could have used that money :(
The rest of the article just gets worse.
Can’t throw a grenade far enough to not kill themselves.
Any military folks want to tell us how hard or easy that is?
I just saw a man walking down corridor 8 of the Pentagon today wearing a short black cocktail dress and a 5 o'clock shadow-- semi-nervously checking out everyone else to see if they were looking at him.
We live in a sick, immoral society that does not know right from wrong. Dumping societal problems and politically-charged items on SECDEF is foul play.
Want real change? Give POTUS a solid majority in Congress during the mid-terms.
More of Starmann’s hysterics...
How is it hysterics? It is all true and all disturbing. 3 reasons I voted for Trump — wall, military, and 2nd Amendment. So far, Mattis has done little to nothing. As the article notes, Mattis has done nothing about women in combat units, despite having vocally disagreed with the decision to lift the ban.
I remember when at NSA decades ago a Navy nuclear sub had just returned from venturing under the Arctic ice - was something historic. Saw the skipper walking proudly down the hall sporting a very nautical looking full beard, neatly trimmed and shaped.
I week later in the same hall I saw a naval officer furtively sneaking along the wall hiding under staircases when he could. He had no chin. It was the same (once) proud skipper ... they had forced him to shave off the beard.
PC has always been in; just now it has erupted fully like a popped pimple spraying the entire US military with rotten smelling gunk.
Mattis caved to PC during his confirmation hearings and has been all down hill since.
Did Corporal Klinger re-enlist?
My guess our combat units are now so short staffed Mattis needs women in those units just to keep them functional. We’ll see what happens when he starts building them up to functional strength.
I hope to heaven above that you’re right, but he’s had some time to gets the numbers up and still no movement, meanwhile more and more women (and weak men) are being passed through and assigned. Then they’ll say there’s too many girls to reverse course and they’re integral to the unit and blahblahblah. The time to reverse Carter’s insanity was day 1, not a year and a half and counting later.
Congress can do the same, and make it permanent, reconciling the two cultural rifts.
No, this was not an actor playing a part, but a damaged human being.
He just got the money approved to rebuild in the Omnibus bill. I say give the man some time to get things fixed in the DOD. For now I’m assuming immediate practical considerations outweigh reversing PC regulations.
“Want real change? Give POTUS a solid majority in Congress during the mid-terms. “
Bullshine. We have a majority in the house, the senate, and are fairly well set up in the supreme court. NOW they want more. I’m inclined to do it just so i can hear their excuse for failure when they have 100% of both houses.
Really? What was incorrect about anything he wrote? While you're at it, detail your combat experience to give us all an ide of your basis of judgment.
“My guess our combat units are now so short staffed Mattis needs women in those units just to keep them functional. “
Self breeding units?
And they aren’t “functional” with women in them. Placeholders do not give a unit functionality. And Mattis is a big talker, little else.
And never been married or had kids. People like that don’t care about traditional values because they don’t live them. Like the childless leaders of the EU.
” For now I’m assuming immediate practical considerations outweigh reversing PC regulations.”
Chew gum AND walk. He is wussing out on PC regulations that are doing every bit as much harm to readiness as budgetary items and spare parts.
“Chew gum AND walk. He is wussing out...”
Thank God we have armchair generals like you to tell Mattis how to do his job. No point in giving him some time to fix things before jumping up and down and calling names. What’s he been doing anyway? Other than destroy ISIS as a state and plan for a possible NK strike I mean?
Mattis’ favorite activity now that he’s given up reading military treatises due to failing eyesight is eating sugary donuts at his (and my) hometown spudnut shop.
