Common sense is now “Marine mentality”? I mean, I always knew you dogfaces were legit dumb as a fricking rock and generally less lethal than the USMC in battle but dang, I didn’t think all y’all had been vowed to such an extent.


The USMC is a polished ball of dogshit

Chosin reservoir, basically all throughout our involvement in WWI, Fallujah when we had to come in and clean up after the shite storm y’all created through your incompetence.

Why would I cite stuff from WWII? We weren’t sharing the battlefield.

Why are you moving the goalposts?

You said no woman can do a better job than any man in the military. Multiple military folks in this thread have pointed out your fallacy.

My understanding is that she doesn't have an infantry background. Non infantry background and no tab means she shouldn't be in charge of an infantry division regardless of sex

If you're taking an extreme and simple minded version of one position to make that position look bad you're doing pretty good at it.

Wait what??? You're an idiot bud. Army was never in control of that area, plus the shite storm was created by Washington... not the Army.

Irrelevant... that happened a long time ago. Plus, the Army was there... that wasn't just a marine operation.

Because women don’t belong in the military, they don’t belong in any combat arms, and they damn sure don’t belong commanding an infantry platoon, much less an infantry division, period.

It's the National Guard. It isn't like she is commanding the Big Red One

I'm sure the CA guard doesn't have that many Generals to choose from.

So women don't belong in maintenance, medical, intelligence, IT, logistics, etc?

Guard infantry brigades deploy all the god damn time. Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about

No shite. My argument is that the CA Guard probably doesn't have that many highly qualified Generals to choose as their next commander

Seems like a demotion to go from JTF command to a national guard unit

This logic I could at least agree with. Unfortunately, there’s plenty of men who have risen in the ranks not due to experience but instead due to who they know who don’t really have any business commanding units either.

The OP tells it like men in the military have never been commanded by another man of less experience. And that this is something exclusive to women. It’s hilarious as best.
