"Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who oversees the Marine Corps, said the study would not change his mind about opening all career fields to women."

Just like everyone that Obama has put in charge of the military. Political correctness trumps all, so I say fine! Let then in on the front line, we'll just buy more body bags. These are most stupid times I have ever seen.

There are times and places in the world where maybe men don't belong. I accept this absolutely and without further need to debate it. And maybe there are times and places in the world where maybe women don't belong. Why is this controversial?

And do the "gender theorists" not understand that combat selects for very specific traits, all of which are primarily biologically associated with men, and that in fact, not all men are even well suited?

You know, maybe the feminists should note that not all men who try qualify for combat arms in the Marine Corps or Army, and what's more, most people period in the military are not in combat arms.

And combat arms does not select for all the best traits - it is not place where, for example, the military chooses to send its best educated or highest-IQ recruits, or its recruits who have specialized or advanced skill sets.

In fact, typically, the combat arms is where the military sends its recruits whose high school academic success was mediocre at best, and who showed an affinity for team athletics. In short, young men who made it through high school, didn't do so well, maybe played on the ball team or the track team, and who don't have a lot of prospects in front of them otherwise. These young men are going to be capable of combat, and are, furthermore, plentiful and easily replaced.

Why is it that feminists want women to be part of that? Is Hollywood making combat look too sexy? Is that it that the lesbian sub-component of feminism at times fetishizes traditionally masculine power and aggression, and likes the idea of rough young women putting the boys in their place? How do I rectify a movement that claims it stands for all that is right and good and noble in the world, and equality and humanitarianism, demanding that women be allowed into one of the ugliest places in the human experience, where they too, can kill people, destroy lives and property, be treated violently, dehumanize foreigners to make them easier to attack, etc?

so, this isn't terribly surprising. it sounds a lot like "all-male basketball team defeats team with a couple women on it."

my concern is that something like this would be used to justify a discriminatory policy of banning women outright (of course:).

what is wrong with opening up all specialties to everyone? those that make the cut are in, those that don't are out.

edit: "specialties to everyone"

Sounds like they admitted some women who didn't meet the requirements.

I was afraid this was going to happen because I've seen police departments do it. They see that women can't meet the physical standards so the lower the standards for women so more can make it in.

Danger! This seems like it could be used as an excuse to justify male-only conscription.

Does anyone have a different source? I've seen this posted several times, but it's just the crappy USA Today article with no biblio or cited sources. If USA Today is the only source for this, I question it.

File this one under "Also, water is wet".

Is anybody actually surprised by this ?

It doesn't matter if male infantry units outperform female infantry units, it matters if female units outperform whoever we are fighting.

Ok, it's time to stop posting this. My rights are not impacted by the performance of women in the military under performing men. It's a military issue, not a gender politics issue.

Well huzzah for democracy. Which ideology kills and causes more suffering? Democracy, Communism or Socialism?
