LINK with VIDEO
I suggest all watch the video. It's a hell of a speech.

quote:

“Combat is a lot more than that,” Barrow told the Senate Armed Services Committee at the time. “It’s a lot more than being shot at. It’s killing. That’s what it is, and it’s done in an environment that’s as difficult as you can possibly imagine. Extremes of climate, brutality, death, dying. It’s uncivilized, and women can’t do it.”


“The requirements for strength and endurance render them unable to do it,” Barrow added. “And I may be old-fashioned, but I think the very nature of women disqualifies them from doing it. Women give life, sustain life, nurture life, they don’t take it.”


“If you persist and push this down the combat area, it would destroy the Marine Corps. Simple as that — something no enemy has been able to do in over 200 years.”



This video is from 25 years ago the last time liberal pussies tried to destroy the military. Nothing has changed since.

RIP Gen. Barrow

I tried telling somebody the other day that to me, the idea of a female as a Marine, is ludicrous.

It's insane.

If you push this, there is no other conclusion. You're trying to weaken the military.

Lowering the standards to make sure we don't hurt people's feelings.

What I don't get is that there are lobbyists in congress that are pushing for this when they are fricking VETERANS.

I serve. But you misunderstand me. There are female veterans lobbying for women in combat roles.

Well I'm a male veteran and I'm for it as well as long as they can meet the same
Standards.

I'm a male veteran and your wrong. IDGAF what standards they meet. And even if females do meet them they will barely meet them. Even the most physically fit women in the world would be among the weakest individuals in an infantry platoon.
