Despite the fact that they are more than twice as likely to get injured?

I was pretty much with you until I saw the results of the study that the Marine Corps did with integrated combat teams. It wasn't promising.

This

When I was at SOI we were the first USMC Company to integrate female marines into training. None of them passed any combat training; not even hikes. They caused all sorts of problems. One hopped in a car with 5 male NCO's from Lejeune. One got engaged to a male from the same company. And one got pregnant.

But hey, sounds like a great idea to me.

How's it going, SSgt?

To be fair, I'm sure plenty of guys in your company got in trouble. But at least they weren't getting pregnant.

This had to be pretty recent right?

It's perfectly logical. They could be even stronger than the men and their mere presence would make the unit weaker.

No, not really. Because we had females in the company we got pretty much no liberty.

They don't get pregnant, they don't get infections on their pussies after weeks in the field, if they get someone pregnant they still have to go to war. You can't say that about a single female on this planet. They are an inefficient use of resources and a waste of time and money and , eventually, lives.

I'm WITH you, buddy. I'm against women in the combat arms.

The problem is that the fastest way to General Officer is to command a battalion in combat, and so, the advocates for women in combat argue that we've got to have female battalion commanders in combat in order to give females an equal shot at making General Officer.

I'm sure that there are some General Officers from West Point or Annapolis who have a daughter graduate of those schools serving on active duty. Dad/General is probably in favor of women in combat, because he wants his daughter to have an equal chance of making General.

Add in the liberal SJWs and you have a strong coalition working against your/our Noble Cause.

Well they can be in command of the battalion of nurses or administrative clerks.

Damn we had guys getting sent to the brig when I went.

I'm 100% against integration, but my point is, a few women getting in trouble isn't the best argument against. Pvts and PFC's are just stupid. Its what they do. I don't think Gen. Barrow's argument in the quote is great either. The best way to hit back at the SJW's is with cold hard facts backed up by evidence. LINK

Or, how about we not allow any of them at all in the military? You're telling me a woman could be a better nurse/admin clerk/any other POG than a man?

The Marine Corps presented cold hard facts and the Secretary of the Navy called them liars. Pretty much all there is left to do is a military coup.

Women were designed for nurturing and clerical work. Although I suggest the Marine Corps get rid of admin positions and let the Navy take that over so the Corps can be all male.

He didn't call them liars, he told the entire country that he didn't care. That's even worse

He's a male veteran but not a combat veteran I'm willing to bet. Prove me wrong my wife just said that guy must be a pog.
