PENTAGON CONSIDERING WOMEN FOR ARMY RANGER TRAINING

 

 

From time to time a thought enters my mind regarding military decision making..."where has common sense, reality, and men of leadership gone in America"?  All seem to now be part of  "minority" statistics.

 

It has generally been accepted that Generals/Flag Officers in the military must satisfy political criteria for selection into the flag ranks.  Until some years ago there was no criteria for a back-bone of jelly, whale manure moral standards, a brain dump, and reprograming action to meet an environment of "relativism", to become a General.

 

Military leaders have allowed official homosexual/lesbian introduction into the military without much more than a whimper, full knowing the negative impact on morale, moral standards, and war fighting considerations. How will they respond to two women or two men married and seeking government quarters, all the benefits of a hetrosexual couple.

 

Women have served our military with distinction in selected roles.  In case anyone is not aware, there are gender differences which impact functional ability required in military roles.  My experience with women in the intelligence gathering field generally demonstrated a higher proficiency than men.  Also, my fox-hole experience confirmed the fox-hole is no place for a woman. 

 

Introducing women to Army Ranger training is nothing more than a gimmick. For what purpose?  To satisfy a "social ladder", give the impression of equal treatment, equal opportunity? Hogwash. Women cannot meet the male physical standards required in Ranger training...there would be a huge financial cost in developing a female ranger curriculum and all the other needs when women are introduced into a new field.  It's gutless surrender to the proponents of insanity.

 

There was a day when the term "force multiplier" referred to an action of force improvement. Where is the "force multiplier" gain through token female introduction into a male war-fighting role?

 

The role of our defense structure is to prevent war or win conflicts if we must go to war.  Any policies, procedures, social experimentation, or introduction of "politically correct" nonsense that fails to meet the common-sense and proven reality test of war-fighting, pushes our warriors into the kill zone with a measure of added threat.

 

Military leaders that fail to fall on their sword in support of reality, points to spineless betrayal of our troops and our nation.

More Political Correctness gone amok to the Nth degree!!!!

[COL Joseph A. Masterson]

I got an email from a friend of mine, also retired Army, who jokingly said "A lot of drill sergeants will have to learn new language to deal with this!"

Here is my reply to him:

Dave

That is what pisses me off about a lot of organizations.  People join the organization because they think they like what it stands for and what it does.  Shortly after joining, they want the organization to CHANGE to suit their personal nuances.

 

That is what is happening to our country! 

 

The MEXICANS want southern US to be an extension of Mexico.  WHY?  If Mexico is so friggin' bad they want to leave, then why do they want to come to America~~~~and make it the shithole they just left??

 

The MUSLIMS!  Holy Shiite!!!  They leave their hellholes and repressive way of life to come here and what's the first thing they do~~~repress their women, defy the police, live like they did in the middle east!!  If THAT is what they want~~~GO TO HELL BACK THERE!

 

WOMEN~~you want to come into the Army??  Accept if for what it is!  It is NOT a friggin' female feely, touchy, smell the roses organization.  If you CAN cut it, fine;  if you CAN'T, then stay the hell out! 

 

Take over, Drill Sergeant!  Hooah!

Col.  All  the ``branches  of  Service  got  this  `Changey, Touchy,  Feely ~~10  years  ago,  and  Juan  Obama  pushed  it  to  the  Marxism / Dictatorship  that's  going  to  the  Shithole / Backhouse.!!  It's  not  my  Navy  anymore,  I  can't  bow  my  head..  No  more.  Great  words  Joe. I'll  still  pray when  my  back  is  turned.!! Ron   

[Harry Riley]

The very thought that politics is so mired into military policy and gives little to no real thought into the impact of life and death of our military is an affront to God.  What is the mission?  What is the task?  Put the resources on the challenge that will do the job...don't play "touch, feely" games as Ron says....warrior lives, their bodies, and their family suffer the consequences of stupid, self-serving decisions.

[George Schryer]

I do believe you said what the majority of those of us who have been there and done that. Never been in the Army or Marines but understand and agree with every word.

[crashaxe]

They be some tough a$$ girls, if they could pass the standard that is in place now.

My kind of girl...lol...

[Allen B. Menges,]

With the present crew exhibiting what they have, you are pissing in the wind.

The officers I knew have long gone, and a winderful group they were.  One or two wingers, but overall, the best trained in this world.

Some of the comments made on various situations recently mshows a definite decline in the   Moral fiber, and Physical fortuity of those holding positions of responsibility, and acting as the voice of the services.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Top Menges.

Another way for that traitorous, disloyal, piece of crap, sob Dempsey to suck up to the piece of crap in the white house.  Did I mention Dempsey is a disloyal piece of crap, sob?

[Ray]

What I see is this puts real men at a disadvantage in the war sone.  We all know men will not be able to do their jobs for thinking of the safety of the women.  This can and will get these men killed.  These men need to look at these women as men with the same abilities.  Meaning if they can't keep up they must be left behind to defend for their self. If I was a Ranger and my partner was a woman all I can say is she had better be able to stay up with me.  I would not put my life on the line for her.  Men know they had better keep up or they are dead.  A Ranger alone is a DEAD Ranger.  Rangers get the bad ass jobs.

Amen brother!

I have no problem with women serviong their country. Men and women have different abilities and are best suited to different tasks. It is NOT a question of who is better, and it is NOT a question of equality! I respect men and women equally as human beings, and as American who love and honor their country. Putting women in combat IS dangerous, and on more levels than I can count! I agree with Ray: It is an issue of common sense. As was said in the American Revolution, if we do not hang together we will hang separately. Mixing women with men in the army rangers is akin to the strategy of "Divide & conquer".

There's a determined effort out there to destroy our National Defenses, and this fits right in. Women in the war zone? We've had that since we went into Iraq,but special forces is an entirely different situation; if they can't go into a place totally without any trace of there having been there, we have some real problems. It seems to me that just the woman's Personal Calendar would make that impossible for nearly 1 week a month. Are we going to plan all ops around their calendars?

[Johnny Smith]

This reminds me of the big flap recently over a comment made by one of the republican candidates for potus, I think it was Rick Perry. He made a comment about women in combat putting men in danger, and was attacked immediately for being a sexist. I understood what he was saying, not that the women couldn't do the job, but that men could never look at them the same as they do their male counterparts. Maybe this is a failing by the male sex but they feel an obligation to protect women. Call me a sexist but it would be a distraction to me if I were fighting beside women and seeing them die would be different from seeing a fellow man die.
