“Everybody in the Army knew that the women’s physical fitness scores were a sham. Out of a possible 300 score, women would often score 350 or so. On the men’s scale, that 350 would have been a 220. On the guy’s side, it was nearly impossible to score 300. Now, it was a slap in the face since the playing field was far from level. Somebody that you could literally run circles around was receiving awards for physical fitness.”

Rewarding such inequality has done far more damage to the esprit de corps than allowing a few homosexuals in the military.

If you can, you should actively seek to enroll in a women’s studies or minority studies class; the amount of bigotry here for whites and males is just incredible.

The class literally asks us how we should see the ‘domination’ and ‘subordination’ of men towards women and minorities. It asks us how we should feel about the current ‘system’, which favors ‘male domination’ and ‘male oppression’. It’s just fantastic – I used to think that libertarians were making this stuff up when I would about it, but it really is that bad in college.

Academia has gone the way of the politically correct, ‘diversity of thought is great’, feminist way.

Until you guys check out what is going on at a campus near you, you have no idea as to how bad it is.

The military is just a part of our diseased culture.

R. R. Tolkien understood that the woman able to bear arms, and wield a sword in battle on par with her male counterparts, was one among hundreds of thousands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDVvUnhEs_g

I am sick and tired of hearing how our “military women” keep us “safe.” I despise any lowering of standards, but particularly when the physical differences between males and females are obliterated by dictatorial edict. As to Tolkien, he had a better grasp of reality than the 90 – 95% of today’s politicians and opinion-makers who daily poison our minds with the notion that women are “equal” to men in military matters.

I don’t believe he has bought into all of the PC nonsense. However, after observing some of the guys who darkened our doorway to date both of my daughters, the evidence is clear to me that we have not done our boys any favors.

I have been somewhat succesful in helping encourage some of these guys to improve themselves. For some of these guys I’m almost certain that I was the first real male act like a father figure for them. Young men raised in single parent homes have a H311 of a time in our system. Given the feminization of our society and degeneration of our mores we have hurt and will continue to hurt our young men.

Interesting take on men and women — DADT knows best?

I thought we were different.

But found it to be politically incorrect to accept: Seeing and hearing are valid means to discern “Truth”.

I contend, in our world’s state of affairs, as it is in an Obama-nation, the perfect American institutionalized student shall be taught to be color blind, deaf to reason, to deny common sense, and indoctrinated not to have critical independent thought; and we’ll equal, as “persons” — not boys and girls, and not men, and women.

The real difference with girls and women, isn’t the “plumbing” but the “wiring”.

Boys and men are wired with single minded switches, and connect one at a time — task by task. Whereas, girls and women have multiple connections hard wired, direct from the mother board, and multi-task at will, like it’s second nature.

Of course, I thank God women are difference. And you are likely multi tasking as your read my Email. That’s by design. “A rose is a rose, by any name”.

The military has been “broad sided” and got more troubles and woes, than it counted on. For hosting a DADT “gay” old time — affair by affair.

I could have told you if you mix any species with both genders, including homosapiens, they shall be fruitful and multiple — it’s in their nature.

Of course, I was once accused of being a “homosapien”, but it could never be proven. I denied it and held my innocence.

Yes, the “U.S. military gone Gaga, making Osama smile”.

God Speed.
Shalom.

PS I contend, Osama Bin Laden is dead. And the jokes on us.

In a constitutional republic, the military will follow rather than lead. We should not wish it to lead. Since it is just as much a reflection of society as any other major organization, a traditional army serving a liberal government is simply an impossibility. Given enough time, a liberal government will always turn the military liberal. And the “military people” you want to run things include Diversity George Casey, Stanley “Hearts & Minds” McChrystal, and David “Please Don’t Burn That Koran” Petraeus.

The U.S. Military no longer protects American citizens. It hasn’t for some time. It’s current role is the belligerent arm of a federal government that represents the biggest threat to liberty in this country. Young men should be actively discouraged from enlisting, and those already enlisted should be encouraged to desert. When the whole rotten edifice finally comes down, which I think is inevitable, I want the militia to face homosexuals, feminists, and geldings. Maybe then the “They have jets! They have nukes!” crowd will pipe down and mind their place.

However, what Sgt. McClain, Ilana, and others have seen is a de-facto war on heterosexual men. Specifically, any advantage in favor of women (such as 3:2 college enrollments, small rates of incarceration) are fine but any advantage in favor of men (such as “uneducated” electricians out earn “eaducted” librarians) must be eliminated. The result is an ever increasing number of rootless, Ritalin-pumped, alienated “boys” who must be psychologically neutered. While this damage occurs over most segments in America, it is extremely acute in the urban “minority community”.

Joy! You can imagine my commentary on the content of the class, including her brief on women in the military.

The thing is.. I am the only person in there commenting about this – and maybe the only one that she has had that has made this stance. How exactly is someone supposed to change anything if he is alone…?

In case you guys didn’t notice, women are now allowed on submarines. I give it another five to ten years before they are in all units.

No matter the argument, no matter the research, there is no stopping this from happening. If college is a microcosm of American culture, then my uniqueness on campus for the views that offer is a foreboding sign.

I am sorry Ilana, and especially Sgt. McClain, but spend you time better; there is no use in trying to stop the idiot wheel.

Brilliant suggestion! 🙂

I actually do like some of Lady Gaga’s music, but I’m becoming increasingly embarrassed by her antics. I made the mistake of becoming a fan of her on facebook, only to be bombarded by pro-homosexual propaganda, with receiving instructions commanding all of her “little monsters” to start engaging in pro-gay activism. Just a tad creepy…
