Another First For Female Soldiers [W:266]

What's with you conservatives, always willing to toss somebody else's rights into the dumpster, just so long as it doesn't affect you? Captain Couto is well on her way to having a successful career doing something she's obviously very good at, and if you had your way she would have been told, "No, you can't."
I worked with guys like you. I was a structural Ironworker for almost 30 years and when women started showing up, one at a time, it was always the marginal Ironworkers, the ones who were mostly wannabes, that complained loudest.

You mean the same recommendation that the military gave before Obama ignored them? :lol:

No it's not. It has to be earned. Captain Couto earned it, same as any man in the company she commands. You know any reason she shouldn't be where she is?

All the men earned was being under a woman in a role meant for men. Nothing to be proud of there.

The left id sacrificing combat readiness for the goal of equality of women

But women cannot be the equal of men on the battlefield as it exists today

You are right about one thing though

I did iron work one summer and I was scared ****less by anything above two stories high

Hell, there's a really good chance she's a better man than you ever were. Which is probably the nut of the matter, right there.

So I guess we are right back to her needing a sex change then.

She does not look bad as a girl

Maybe the prettiest commander of the gurard in a long time.

But ISIS or the russian or the north koreans are not holding beauty contests on the battlefield

The IDF is a pretty combat-ready force, and they have women in combat rolls.
They have found it to be a disadvantage sometimes, though, because Arab soldiers are less likely to surrender to women.

A summer isn't long enough. Everyone starts out afraid of heights (yes, even those legendary Mohawks) and if you can put the fear aside it fades away after awhile. By the end of the apprenticeship, hopefully.

I worked with a guy from Texas. It was in the Port of Tacoma, on gas-plant modules that were going to be barged up to Alaska. The guy (I forget his name) had been in the area in the military and fell in love with it. Pretty good partner, but he talked so slow I could have a nap while he got a sentence out. The word 'damn' had three syllables, the way he said it.

Okay. Just, don't stand beside Captain Couto, is all.

Texas has become a very diverse state

There are so many refugees from the economically failed blue states its a wonder we can still elect republicans here

So very few Texans still have the accent

No, it's just weird. If a woman re-invented the light bulb, would there be a news story about her being the first woman to invent a light bulb?

That question comes up repeatedly from lefties who are impressed by everything they are told on the internet and expect others to be impressed with their claimed experience.

What a cowardly way to answer "I never served in the military, but I know who and who doesn't belong in the military." It must be so incredibly emasculating for you that a woman has the balls to enlist into combat arms while you're here playing armchair general.

Perhaps the same battlefield that the queen's guard serves on. ;)

It's not like the CO here gets to choose where and when she gets deployed. The only choice she made thus far was to enlist in the Infantry. Which is more than someone as chicken**** as Mac could ever say.

The may be the one in a thousand females who can be a good combat soldier.

But that small percentage is not worth turning the entire organization upside down as liberals are going for woman and gays

History shows that to be untrue.

It'd be amusing to hear you try to say that to one of the Russian female snipers or pilots, for example.

"How many men have you killed?"

"Not a man... fascists. 309."

Because I don't want to get married. Shocking how something that I don't want to do is something I haven't done, ain't it?

You're right. It's a privilege, and a great and glorious thing to serve your people.
