Go America...

quote:

As Marine Corps officials plan to move newly minted female riflemen into infantry units by early 2017, they're working to create a system that they believe will make the historic move successful.


quote:

"Throughout the Marine Corps, everyone is now assignable to certain billets," said Col. Ann Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office and one of the architects of the Corps' plan to incorporate women into previously closed ground combat units.


Man what in the frick happened to the Corps standing up the ultra liberal and ultra fricking stupid SoD Ashton Carter? As well as Ray Mabus.

I feel bad for the officers responsible for keeping their Marines safe. This policy will get Marines killed, and theres very little the officers responsible for them can do to fix this policy- other than resign their commission.

Crazy. And just yesterday a female St. Tammany parish deuputy was overcome by a relatively small guy and got her arse whipped. Lucky she's alive.

I'm not sexist, but there's really no place for women in combat military or patrol police roles.

A kinder, gentler Marines and military is what we need. Less tendency to just go to war for the hell of it and more compassion for our enemies. After all, Christians, isn't that what Jesus taught?

Fortunately Marines have never had the choice of which conflicts they have to go into. That decision is made by the president. The changing composition of the Marine Corps won't change that, except to limit what conflicts they can go into because of "gender diversity".

I imagine most of these females are closer to male anyway.

Some of the best officers I knew were females, but I don't think I'd have followed a single one of them into combat.

I hear their periods attract terrorists. The terrorists can smell the menstruation.

If the don't pass IOC, they shouldn't lead infantry Marines. Period.

If they lower the standards enough I bet my 1 year old could get through IOC too.

Continued pussification of USA military

Instead of being the most bad arse feared military on the planet, Obama continues to shape our military like Europe (pussies)

Women are physically weaker in a very demanding MOS. it's a national security issue. And just wait until that time of the month hits in the middle of a 50-day Helmand Province patrol mission. They stink like hell.

Serve with them first and then you can open your suck. Otherwise Bernie and Hilary could use you.

This is going to seem like a great idea, until we see our daughters blown to pieces on the evening news.
