    And a man who obviously has everything in place does have time to be on this site?

    Must admit, your nonsensical ramblings are highly amusing.

    Oh, I'd recommend that you go read the rules and regs of this site before posting further

    repped. this fool is so all over the place he must be bipolar


    dude you need to read your posts and ask yourself what the fuck? I stated if they want to go infantry cool..equal rights...you are saying dudes who say that are cupcaking or simping. well explain? Oh wait a minute how can you when you dont know the definitions of cupcaking and simping?

    yeah, cupcaking mean that a dude going all out on a date with a girl he just met. the going all out is usually or somewhat acceptable for a woman you have a commitment too and stil its suspect. another word for it is brown nosing a female to get sex and keep her.

    this negroe used it all fucked up

    Too many quotes to know who's addressing who, anyways this thing is beyond old. I doubt that any of you even care, as I don't really either. Difference in opinions is always going to exist. If anyone is offended, they will have to deal with themselves. I've shared my opinions, just as others here have. If it doesn't apply let it fly means that if you don't feel a statement is true for you or how you view something, let it be. Theres no force here on any side to make someone change their views, I'm sure most can agree on that. I'd much rather read peoples opinions on the original topic as opposed to what they think about my opinions at this point. I'm moving forward and will see some of you in a conversation about something else....

    Difference between saying someone is something versus acting like something.

    I asked for your marriage license b/c what you said in the daddy thread, do yourself a favor and save it 20 yrs from now read it again.
    you still think your attitude about that is right then you are insane,
    I'm not going to argue with you , your smugness attitude comes thru quite clear I don't need to see your body language facial expressions to know you are a hood rat,, I agree with you women shouldn't be in combat but that's about it young fella, it's one of two things,
    Everybody here is all wrong or you are right , thinking you are still right makes what I think of you just that much clearer

    6 white flags over new york.


    LOL.

    cupcaking in a sentence: genuineforce took a woman he met last week on a first date . he spent 100 bucks on dinner , 30 dollars on a movie. he stated he will impress her on the next date by bringing flowers and taking her on a horse and buggy ride.
    damn, the negroe is cupcaking the hell out of that chick. I bet he is going to take her on a hot air balloon ride. then he will pop the question after that by having an airplane flying around asking her to marry him.

    http://news.yahoo.com/marine-survey-lists-concerns-women-combat-002047180.html

    -"Elaine Donnelly of the conservative Center for Military Readiness and a vocal critic of the change said the survey asked the wrong questions and should have been asking if troops favor it and whether it will make a more effective force.
    The questionnaire also relied on the "mistaken belief" that training standards will remain the same, which Donnelly said is not realistic given the differing physical abilities between the genders.
    She said the Pentagon is bent on imposing gender-based quotas that will drive down standards. Defense leaders say standards will not be lowered."


    this is about the only thing worth paying attention too. we gotta hold them accountable for that

    as for the issue of Male marines leaving because women in combat roles...i doubt it. it's a career/paycheck, and i think most dudes will just ride it out

    after all, marines are known for their adaptability, right?:smt043

    Why should standards drop. Everyone has a fair chance now. Either you can do a hundred push ups or you can't. Period the end

    Bingo. Make the opportunity available to all. If they meet the standards, great. If no...then they don't get the job.

    As for whether men will 'naturally' try to protect women to their own detriment, that's what training is for. It hasn't been a problem where it's been tried. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-01/do-men-really-fall-apart-when-female-soldier-falls

    Marines Survey: Some Qualms Over Women in Combat

    http://www.military.com/daily-news/...survey-results-on-womens-role.html?ESRC=eb.nl


    SAN DIEGO - A Marine Corps survey found about 17 percent of male Marine respondents said they would likely leave the Corps if women move into combat positions.

    That number jumped to 22 percent if women are assigned involuntarily to those jobs, according to the survey.
    Results of the survey of 53,000 Marines were released to The Associated Press on Friday.

    The survey was conducted last summer and the results were given to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta before he opened thousands of combat jobs to female service members last week.

    About 4 percent of female Marines surveyed said they would consider leaving if the ban was lifted. Even more would drop out if women were put into those positions involuntarily with about 17 percent of female respondents expressing they would cut their careers short under those circumstances.


    About 31 percent of female respondents say they would be interested in moving into a combat position.

    The commandant of the Marine Corps said the infantry side of the most male of all military branches is skeptical about how women will perform in their units, and some positions may end up closed again if too few females meet the physically demanding standards of combat.

    Gen. James Amos made the remarks to reporters Thursday at a defense conference in San Diego hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and the defense trade group AFCEA.

    Amos says most Marines support the policy change. He pointed out that over the past decade, many male service members already have been fighting alongside women in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Women who serve in supply troops, as clerks and with military police have ended up on the unmarked front lines of modern warfare, blurring the distinction between combat and noncombat jobs. More than 150 women have been killed in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while serving in support roles.

    Many of the newly opened positions are in Army and Marine infantry units and in potentially elite commando jobs. It will be up to the military service chiefs to recommend and defend whether women should be excluded from any of those more demanding and deadly positions, such as Navy commandos or the Army's Delta Force.

    The infantry units are smaller and spend more grueling time in battle.
    "I think from the infantry side of the house, you know they're more skeptical," Amos said. "It's been an all-male organization throughout the history of the U.S. Marine Corps so I don't think that should be any surprise."

    The Marine Corps is the most male of all the military branches. About 7 percent of Marines are female compared to about 14 percent overall for the armed forces.

    Aside from the current selected service, does this mean that when the draft comes back women will be drafted as well? Has this even been brought up by the geniuses in our government?
