Senior Army, Navy and Marine Corps
officials outlined plans to integrate women into combat roles before the Senate
Armed Forces Committee on Feb 4th and agreed that incorporating women into the combat
ranks is the right path for the future.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, Acting
Secretary of the Army Patrick J. Murphy, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A.
Milley and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert B. Neller updated committee
members on the services’ integration efforts.
No Social Experimenting with our Defense
I think that legislation pertaining to
this matter should be introduced and voted on in both the House and the Senate and
signed into law before implemented. It should not be decided upon and implemented
solely by the Pentagon. The defense of our country should not be used for social experimentation.
To Hell With Being Politically Correct
I often hear these so-called politically correct commentators and reporters on radio and television refer to men and women as if they occupy similar roles in the military and die at the same rate. Nothing could be farther from the truth. They are trying to be politically correct. I don’t give a damn about being politically correct.
Do Not Weaken Our Armed Forces
Let’s be clear, up until now, women have never been in combat roles in the Marines and while women may occasionally fly an attack helicopter in the Army, or a fighter plane in the Air Force, they have never been in the infantry and on the front lines fighting. This is an action that will gradually weaken our armed forces.

In fact, many women
who are currently in the service or recently retired adamantly disagree with
this act. They know the problems associated with the implementation from having
to modify the training facilities to fighting in close combat next to a man.
This is another one of Obama's ridiculous executive orders that I hope the next
President will have the backbone to reverse.
Men and Women Should Not Train Together
Having been in the Army myself, in no way do I think men and women should train together nor do I want to be engaging the enemy with a woman next to me. When you’re in training and fighting the enemy you do not need any distractions from concentrating on your training and/or your mission. In combat, you need a fellow soldier who can carry his own weight and someone who could carry you to safety should you get wounded.

Men and Women will Never be Equal in Our Armed Forces
From now on, these politically correct reporters and commentators should refer to our folks in the military as our “military personnel"or just our "armed forces”. Once again women have never had roles equal to men in the military and it’s a disservice to our fighting men to speak as if women are equal to them and die in war at the same rate.
