There was an old saying about WM’s when I was in the Corps. If she’s out of the rack she’s out of her MOS.

F Trump, in all honesty. The military has gotten even more PC under him and “Mad-dog”.

Buzz cut the women’s hair just like the men’s.

Next, it’ll be that triggers are popping their fake nails off.

I remember the old days when women’s hairstyles were changed to accommodate their military jobs.

My Dad’s solution would have been “Buzz Cuts”.

Next they'll be trying to accommodate guys like this...


       




Maybe they can use one of these (appropriately hardened) for a pattern...

Men are not allowed to use logic, that is sexist.

Hah! I'll use logic all day long, thankyouverymuch. Sexist? Bullcrap. Reality is sexist. Deal with it.

(Yeah ... I know. Sarcasm.)

Once upon a time, in most of US history long beards were common in the US Armed Forces. Along came World War I and chemical warfare. Beards were and have been essentially forbidden since, in order to ensure an airtight seal between the mask and the lower edge of the face.

No one told soldiers that they would try to design a gas mask to accommodate beards. Men were simply ordered TO SHAVE THEIR BEARDS!!!

Is it too much to ask these combat chicks TO CUT THEIR HAIR????

hair is something that has to be washed and attended to, the longer it is, the more of said is required. WHY should girls be given special dispensation from regs when water is at a PREMIUM in combat zones when they go out of their way to profess equal treatment to real men???

because, vagina...
