WE ARE SCREWED

Y'all ever see a Horned Toad? No, not the horny toad named BJ Bubba Clinton, a real horned toad, with little horns and is flat, and tannish colored, that scampers around? Well, when you mess with them enough, and the Gunny learned this lesson as a kid, they squirt blood from their eyes, and damned accurate too. Here is something that will make blood squirt from our eyes.

EXCERPT: WASHINGTON – "The U.S. military is too white and too male at the top and needs to change recruiting and promotion policies and lift its ban on women in combat, an independent report for Congress said Monday. Seventy-seven percent of senior officers in the active-duty military are white, while only 8 percent are black, 5 percent are Hispanic and 16 percent are women, the report by an independent panel said, quoting data from September 2008. The report ordered by Congress in 2009 calls for greater diversity in the military's leadership so it will better reflect the racial, ethnic and gender mix in the armed forces and in American society. One barrier that keeps women from the highest ranks is their inability to serve in combat units. Promotion and job opportunities have favored those with battlefield leadership credentials."

You see, the US Military is NO LONGER merit based, oh no. We MUST promote via a quota system, even if it gets people killed. This is what the Air Force and the Army (minus SF bubbas) have de-evolved into, a PC class of p*ssified clowns, following trend after trend, i.e., handing out black berets to "legs" (that made the Gunny projectile vomit), and now, putting women into combat. Jessica Lynch aside, the Gunny has seen females get tossed around like ragdolls in Marine Corps hand-to-hand and it won't change on the battlefield. And the fat females in the AF he saw in Iraq? Yikes! But here is the crux of the issue.

"If you look at today's battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's not like it was in the Cold War, when we had a defined battlefield. Women serve — and they lead — military security, military police units, air defense units, intelligence units, all of which have to be right there with combat veterans in order to do the job appropriately. Because they are technically attached to, but not assigned to, combat units, they don't get credit for being in combat arms, something important for promotion to the most senior ranks." Gen. Lester L. Lyles, USAF ret, the commission's chairman.

Politically correct bullsh*t. It's ALL about women officers crying that they can't get promoted because they've never had combat experience. Boo-frigging-hoo.

Now excuse the Gunny for a second, General (probably a Perfumed Prince) but the Air Force's SP's AIN'T a combat unit, they're slightly higher than rent-a-cops. Air Defense? Intel? MP's writing traffic tickets? Please. Being a ground troop is WAY different than being a zoomie. Ya gotta do things like crap in a hole, not shower for weeks on end, sleep on that yucky ground, eat MREs, hump heavy stuff over long distances without whining, have bugs and other icky things on you, and there ain't no base to have your cocktails after a mission, and when ya run outta sh*t paper, sin loi!

What this moron doesn't know or WON'T acknowledge, is that today's battlefield is WORSE for women BECAUSE it IS ill-defined. Jessica Lynch's outfit was ambushed and overrun by irregulars, people were killed, and somehow, the training records of that unit were, misplaced. Oddly enough, the Army punished no one, it just kinda fell under the radar. Kinda makes ya go hmmm. Maybe the General forgets that about 80% of the females NEVER make their first term! If we can't count on them making it through their first term, how the HELL can they be expected to perform in combat?

When the Gunny was in, he weighed 192 at 5' 11" and bench-pressed over 300. He and his fellow SNCOs were PT freaks in order to stay mission ready. How many females bench press 300? He was able to carry HIS weight, his gear, and often the gear of females who fell out on humps (and a few males who were castigated FOREVER after. Apologies to Marines like Sgt Crystal D who simply kicked ass and took names, but she was the EXCEPTION to the rule). The Gunny knew that a capable Marine had his back, cut and dried. Sorry ladies, blame Mother Nature for giving men upper body strength, not the Gunny.

In summation, what happens when people are killed or maimed because of a politically correct decision to put women into combat? Who gets held responsible? General Lyles? SecDef Gates? This bullshit commission? Obama? Or will they be like McNamara and make stupid decisions, get Americans killed, and walk away scot-free and write a book about it all? The Gunny says that IF you want women in combat, PUT YOUR ASS on the line that if it goes south, your ass goes to prison. Simple as that. Better still, those who want women in combat, YOU JOIN EM in a fighting hole (foxhole to the Army). Or better yet, let YOUR SONS join em on the battlefield. THEN we'll see who's REALLY behind this. Who gets held responsible if (God forbid) a sub sinks because a female crewmember lacked the strength to dog a hatch in an emergency? Who pays besides a dead crew? The politicians who instituted it? Can we try and execute the Generals who stood by and ALLOWED this to happen and/or endorsed it? Can we arrest them and hang them for the murders they're responsible for?

Too many whites in charge. Too many men in charge. Wow. WTF ever happened to promoting people on MERIT? On what they have ACCOMPLISHED and have PROVED themselves to be? Not on their skin color or lack of male plumbing. Why not just make the US Military ONE BIG social experiment, toss in trannies, flaming homos (oops, already did that), take away the ban on felons, druggies, alcoholics, maniacs, idiots, multi-earring freak shows, etc, drop that stupid discipline thingy, and just do whatever the HELL we want to. Boot camp? Nah, that's old fashioned. Just HAND them a uniform and a gun thingy and say go for it. Why bother with all of that tried and true stuff that stupid old white men like Lafayette, Washington, Patton, Marshall, Puller, Yeager, and LEGIONS of stupid white men instilled in the services. Screw training. Yeah, proud traditions? Who needs em?

Hell, screw the uniforms too, just wear whatever ya want. Right libs? My friends, this nation is in deep kimchee.

BTW, on a hunch...

Go figure, an Obama asskissing Perfumed Prince just like the Gunny figured.
