I’m all for women assuming a non-military Rosie the Riveter type role during wartime.
Wasn’t it a woman that wrote a bestseller titled, “Men are from Battleship Galactica, Women are from Love ship Greenpeace?” |
This book reference bears no weight on your lengthy anti-feminist argument, a man once wrote an emotional book, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus."

I may have gotten the title wrong but the theme of the book acknowledged that women are better emotionally equipped to handle the tribulations of a soap opera saga from couch side, rather than squeezing the trigger of an M-16 rifle at an approaching enemy soldier while standing and trembling inside of a foxhole.

Did you actually read the book or just judge it by its cover?

Aside from a few lady wrestlers and a handful of masculine lesbian butches--the biological makeup of most women makes demanding combat roles an impossibility.

Thier body is what they make of it, women are just as capable of carrying all this equipment that you mention below as some men are.

I remember humping a 75 pound rucksack up the treacherous mountainside of the A-Shau Valley in Vietnam during hot climate and high humidity. I also carried a 22-24 pound M-60 machine gun, heavy ammo belts, and weighty water canteens. There were a couple of effeminate cherries that caved in to the strenuous demand. Those guys were quickly shuffled back to REMF status at our base camp.

Good for you.

The point being with everything unfair and unequal in war and body structure--I see no way for a woman (any woman) to have been able to proceed in that combat setting--let alone survive it.

Again, your judgement of women is based on stereo types.

Bill Clinton helped bring political correctness and e-masculinity into the United States military. With the advent of the total acceptance of gays in the military during his administration and the emasculation thereof--women could now call on their feminist sisters to help complete the feminization of our military, you know, with thier equal rights agenda and all |
This part of your argument makes it sound like you want to restrict women to the kitchen and take away thier voting rights, then place blacks in seperate parts of the bus, etc, etc.

With young men’s hormones in a constant uproar, and the availability of women troops to satisfy their needs--the role of a militarily focused warrior had now transferred to the role of a wanton sex-craved young man.
|
This is true, even if the women are not around. The women make choices on this matter too, and sometimes, although unethical, leads to a boost in morale for both the female and male.

With rapes, women troops getting pregnant, and incidents like the Tail hook Affair--sensitivity and further emasculation classes for young men were in order.

Its not a woman's fault that a man doesn't understand NO.

Training to kill for combat now took a back seat for a new protocol featuring the sensitive, caring, and peaceful demeanor of all new male recruits.
|
This statement is not true, as this type of training is only done once per year, and does not take prescedence over combat training

The president of the United States is our CIC (Commander-in-Chief) of our combat units. Knowing a woman’s emotional handicap and inability to function properly in a combat setting--doesn’t it alarm you to the possibility of having Hillary as our CIC overseeing all operations of our combat personnel? I have no problem with having Condi Rice assume the position of CIC, for she acts like she owns a complete set with her brilliant performance as Secretary of State. Just because Hillary looks like a man does not mean that she possesses the emotional nerve needed to be a military leader--let alone our CIC.
|
This is another pointless statement that means nothing. It only shows that you are very willing to make fun of the appearance of one politician that you disagree with, without making fun of the other (Condi's death gap in her teeth).
By the way; you still have failed to respond to my arguments on VA benefits and PTSD.
