USMC 4-Star: Women to Attend Infantry School

[hobbit]

Highly impractical. Can you imagine some sweet little babe screaming my name all night long while compromising our position to the enemy?

[IEDmagnet]

Against it. Rake me over the coals or not.

You can wish it, rationalize it, legislate it, mandate it, force it, whatever, but you simply cannot change it - women cannot perform at the same physical level as men. It is genetically. evolutionarily, and hereditarily impossible.
Female military personnel have certainly been placed in harm's way and can perform well at times, but they simply should not be generic to frontline combat units.
You can call me a Neanderthal or a macho s***head, but that will not alter the species one iota.

As a "Honorary Marine" ( a title I am very proud of by the way) I find this very disheartening. First we have HOMOs running around in uniform sucking face, now we will allow the split tails to lower the standards to such a point that for all intents and purposes the "Mighty Corps" will become combat ineffective. Chesty Puller is rolling over in his grave.

But the article is about women in the ranks... stay on topic!

Nope. Can't imagine it.

Huff huff, puff puff. Truth be known, having just gone out to the smoke house and cut a four-pound chunk of pronghorn backbone for my mutt, I probably can't imagine it either. Getting old ain't so bad. It's the falling apart that's a bitch

Would anyone be amazed that I fully endorse Karl's comments.

Nope. Can't imagine it.

I can imagine G.I.'s carrying (mandatory equipment) tongue depressors for the biatch to bite on to hold down her murmurs for the good of our country.

I can also imagine a female sent on a mission causing every male to kill each other for who's 1st.

I think everyone knew that this was going to happen sooner or later. Looks like sooner.....

At least you know they'll all be Republicans.
