Services promise combat roles for females by 2016

"So, Loretta, you’ll be enlisting – you’re just that excited? I don’t see any of the women who are “excited” about this and the new lower standards being the ladies who are going to place themselves in danger – they’re all a bunch of old hags who will cluck about the failures that result from the implementation and integration and blame men instead of nature. when I see Loretta Sanchez and Juliet Beyler humping a ruck in the EIB road march or leading a squad on a live fire maneuver range, then I’ll believe they’re excited. Until such event, I’ll chalk it all up to political blather."

Anonymous said...: What we'll see from lowered standards are a lot of kids getting killed the first time they get to a hot LZ.; July 26, 2013 at 6:28 AM
Sean said...: No problemo, with me. Bring on the females, and if things happen, they happen. I'm not going to give anyone a laundry list of what my objections might be, I just say do it. Now if it doesn't work, if things get totally f'd up, and we get lots and lots of casualties because of this stupidity, I WILL call for the heads of those responsible for making it happen.

Mama Liberty said...: Any woman stupid and suicidal enough to want to go into combat in support of this the insane policies of the nazgul government has my full and utter support to do so. I'll help them pack and kiss them goodbye.

One less damned fool underfoot... and less likely they'll muddy the gene pool...; July 26, 2013 at 3:04 PM
RL said...: Seems to me they're planning for the mother of all wars.; July 26, 2013 at 3:25 PM
Recon-one said...: Just in the last few months didn't a new law, or reg, get passed that required all females to register for the draft same as males? We don't currently have the draft but registration is still mandatory at age 18. Imagine this, your recent high school graduate daughter thrown into a trench with 8 ghetto graduates who have nothing to lose. It is known that some drug gang members are currently in the military. What happens if she has to shoot all of them? Life in Leavenworth or they shoot her to silence the witness after their little party.; July 26, 2013 at 11:40 PM
Gunny G said...: In all the years in the Corps, I rarely saw a woman complete a hump with full gear on and then still be able to pull field duty.

Maybe we'll see Obama's daughters in the service with a grunt MOS. After all, shouldn't THEY lead the way?; July 27, 2013 at 1:21 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
