The Marine Corps will open new combat jobs to women, allow women to
volunteer for combat specialty training previously closed to them and
create a co-ed experimental task force to evaluate how female Marines
perform as part of a ground combat unit, Marine officials said.
The task force will be made up of about 460 Marines, and about one
quarter will be women, said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a Marine spokeswoman.
The task force will look like a small battalion landing team with
attachments such as artillery, tanks and amphibious assault vehicles —
similar to the ground combat portion of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, but
about half the size.

Yep, somebody needs to be handling the sandwich making and paperwork back in the rear while the boys are out pew pew pewing... If they can't even do 2 pullups, why would you want them anywhere near a "combat job". I wouldn't count on a Wook to be able to pull my ass outta the road or over a wall ever. Just sayin'... Hearts and minds and all that.
ReplyDeleteI want nothing to do with it.

I imagine.
DeleteWant to make any guesses as to how many USMC Janes, when they find out what being a gunt is like, will "suddenly and unexpectedly" nondeployable for "medical reasons" (pregnancy, abortions and STDs)?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt. The whole premise is ridiculous.
DeleteHow many men (and women) will die for this experiment before they put a stop to it?
ReplyDeleteThe commies will never stop until they are.
