Says the Marine who started a thread to cry about a woman being appointed to a position he’ll never occupy and while also crying about women even being in the military at any position.

Very, very rich.

This doesn't make any sense... you mean physical ability? How does mental fortitude have anything to do with this?

Not even close to the same thing.

We’re saying this because women bring nothing more to the table than being warm bodies. They’re typically not better suited for military life than men are period. It’s not a knock on women at all, it’s just the fact that they’re not suited for it.

I particularly love when a non-infantry officer comes in and commands an infantry division. All in the name of progress. Forward!


We learned a lot about politically appointed generals (aka National Guard) during the Louisiana Maneuvers and the beginning of World War 2.

An aviation officer leading an infantry division simply because’s a woman? No I don’t think she can do as good of a job as someone qualified.

Better job than you though

Huh? Are you thinking before you type? How are men better suited for military life than women? You know, education is a hell of a thing.

So, you are saying they should exceed the bar men are held to in order to be accepted to the military?

You realize their standards are FAR lower than the men...right? If they can do everything the men do at the required levels for the men, sure... but you can’t give them lower standards and say that they are equal.

My argument is they shouldn't be in the infantry. His argument is they should be 100% excluded from the entire military. At no point am I arguing lower standards. If it were up to me, I'd increase the standards for everyone. Everyone should be held to the SAME EXACT STANDARD regardless of race, gender, etc.

I agree women should not be in an infantry platoon, but the idea of excluding women out of the military is stupid at best.


I never had females in my units. But I saw what went on in units that did have females. Trust me, women have no business being in the military. Or at least they should be assigned to female only units. And I don’t say that because I have anything against women or think they’re not equal to men. I say it because of human nature.

Could you provide a link to your published research work? You clearly are a learned man wiser than everyone else.

Ok, we agree then. Dropping the standards for certain people makes our military weaker overall.

Unless we are facing an existential crisis like the Soviets in the 40s, there’s no real reason for NEEDING women in the military other than for political posturing
