I suppose you've seen the news about women failing the pullup test
for fitness. Here's an article in the Christian Science Monitor if
not. http://tinyurl.com/n8lwa6g This paragraph makes no sense to
me.

Quote: Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos “has decided that
Training and Education Command will continue to gather data and
ensure that female Marines are provided with the best opportunity
to succeed,” spokeswoman Captain Maureen Krebs said in a statement.
“The commandant has no intent to introduce a standard that would
negatively affect the current status of female Marines or their
ability to continue serving in the Marine Corps.” End quote.

The military should be about fighting and winning wars. Nothing
else.

The military IS about fighting and winning wars. Our military is
managed by civilian politicians. That is the problem when troops are
not supported by elected officials.

...let the dogs off the chain.


The way to handle female soldiers is simple. "You see that guy over
there? He's the enemy and he said your uniform makes you look like you
have fat thighs." Enemy destroyed. ^_^
