Our buddy, Rowan Scarborough at the Washington Times<\/a> writes that with complete disregard for the safety of the force, they’re plowing ahead with plans to allow women in all combat roles and the Republicans are complicit;<\/p>\n

Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, won passage of language in the pending defense budget bill that says any standard lowered for women also must be lowered for men. The logic behind the measure is that the military does not want less-capable men staffing combat units.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I’m sure that won’t work. The political forces that are driving this train aren’t concerned that there will be less-capable people in combat units, otehrwise would they be charging ahead. A moment’s thought would tell a rational person that altering the combat readiness of the most capable armed force in the world is madness.<\/p>\n

I don’t want a lowered standard for anyone, regardless of their sex organs, because ultimately it will result in casualties. But the people who are pushing this don’t have any skin in the game. Neither them nor their children will hear a shot fired in anger, so what do they care?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a move to create a critical mass of young women in certain ground combat units,\u201d said Robert L. Maginnis, a former Army officer with a new book, \u201cDeadly Consequences: How Cowards Are Pushing Women Into Combat.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And those of you women who think that it will be completely voluntarily, just wait until the politicians discover that volunteer rates are dreary. Yeah, so then they’ll be offering bonuses to attract women to the ranks of the combat forces, then you’ll get the ones who are in it for the money, meanwhile men won’t be offered the same bonuses for the same job. No one will get mad over that, will they?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
