Military Leadership Diversity Commission

[cebeu]

Cool...I'm certain there's nothing like living through the atrocities of war, exposure to brutal social decay in ravaged communities, being required to commit violence against another to survive or being the target of sexual abuse and physical assault to "put hair on a women's chest!"

But...hey...there's promotions to be had and "PC pussies" to pacify in the good ol' "Diverse" USSA.


Me? I really don't care, my service days are long gone. Some women "want that" Rock-n-Roll...I guess...


Women Should Be Allowed in Combat Units, Report Says
Published January 14, 2011 | Associated Press

“…yet another sizeable social change in a force that in the last year has seen policy changes to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly for the first time in the military and to allow Navy women to serve on submarines for the first time. “

“…recommended by the Military Leadership Diversity Commission, established by Congress two years ago, and expected to send its report to Congress and...Obama in the spring.”

"The Armed Forces have not yet succeeded in developing leaders who are as diverse as the nation they serve," said the report, which also touched on recruiting and a range of other issues affecting the diversity of the force. "Minorities and women still lag behind white men in terms of number of military leadership positions."

I don't even want to imagine the drama resulting from an infantry platoon out in some FOB or COP in the middle of nowhere, with one or two females and the rest males.

Sure, there are some women out there who are hard as nails, but to me the potential drama issues are just too much.

Seems like if they get the option to choose combat positions or not, the problem would take care of itself. Maybe.

The Armed Forces are never going to be "as diverse as the nation they serve." For one thing, the Armed Forces don't want to have the same percentage of criminals and psychos as the entire nation, not to mention treasonous Bill Ayres-wannabes (Bradley Manning not withstanding).

Having said that, I don't really have a problem with women in combat units as long as they pass all the training and physical standards (no double standards) and don't ask for special accommodations. I saw plenty of women on active duty who were far more combat ready than I was.
