You got that right. Under Obama, our Combat Effectiveness has been dilluted, diseased, degraded, debauched, deformed, distorted, dysfunctional, delluded, de-balled and decimated.
Well duh!
Y'see, we've been depriving the nation of 50% of the talent we could've been using on the front line all of this time by excluding women. Doncha know.
Obama recognizes the problem and is taking swift action.
Am I suppose to be surprised!
The only upsideis if we have to defend ourselves from fedgov their army is weaker.
Obama should be relieved as CinC for lack of confidence!
While I think the MOLLE systems are great for personalizing equipment, it is very clear that it also spares a 100 lb. women from having to shoulder a real pack. The reality of fighting a couple of wars against Muslims simultaneously without a draft is that we’ve lowered the physical standards; the gear can be customized for an out-of-shape “soldier” who will never move 100’ from a vehicle. When the guard units raised the enlistment age to 39 (and many guard units were being deployed to Iraq & Afghanistan), the DIs admitted as much; rather than flunking recruits, they “encouraged” them.
That’s the whole idea.
It’s no accident.
Thanks for a very good read, SP!
I’ve saving this for later use.

Combat effectiveness does not matter when the strategy is simply to keep the war going because it’s politically useful.
