I guess he finally got the word after all.

Married or just dating?  

Why are you posting a picture of a British soldier?  

Splain it to us Lucy?  

If this is a bad attempt to say women should be allowed into ground combat roles alongside men? Give it up Stimpy. Women in Infantry units are a B A D idea. and before you scream the Israelis do it... No, they don't in the sense of an Integrated unit. The Israeli army has whole Female or Mostly Female units and the reason is they have figured out (having faced multiple near-extinction-level invasions) that when the chips are down, men in ground combat units will protect the women in said units to the detriment of the mission. In other words, it negatively affects combat effectiveness.  

Now that being said the Israeli army has whole tank units that are crewed by female crews that are completely effective.

In his 2024 book, Hegseth's said, "We need moms. But not in the military, especially not in combat units". He's clearly against women serving in the military altogether. Further Hegseth said, "I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles." Now, combat roles include more than just ground pounding infantry. It also includes roles such as tank operators, helicopter pilots, fighter pilots, even truck drivers in conflict zones, etc. for which women now actively serve. Fewer than 1% of U.S. adults are active-duty service members. Removing women from "combat roles" would make us weaker as a military force and actually invite more conflict. Btw, I served six years as an Army Reservist in a transportation and supply Company. What role did you serve, Lost?  

Pete Hegset isn’t against women serving in the military he doesn’t want them In the infantry.  

Your statement,

“He's clearly against women serving in the military altogether.”

Is purely “your” supposition.

This idea of putting women into ground combat was foisted upon the military starting in the Obama years and it’s a bad one.

As for me I served in rotary wing aviation and as such I served with many female Marines. In fact one girl in my shop was one of the first  female crew chiefs in the FMF.  

Another girl who I took to Iraq got her skins and flew on 53s as a door gunner and later as a serving crew chief on V22s. She had also done a B Billet as a hat (Drill Instructor) on Paris Island. As such she was hard core. In addition she  went all the way to Black Belt in MCMAP.  She nor any of them ever wanted to be a grunt. Not one. Women can and do serve in lots of roles that can land them in combat. On my last trip to Iraq a girl in my MOS caught a chunk af shrapnel and recieved the Purple Heart.  

Another friend of mine got forced out during the Clinton years and came back in as a Nurse in the Navy. Later in his career he did a tour at the naval safety center studying the effects of carrying weight on the human body as it relates to being an infantry man. The study concluded that men could only carry 33% of their body weight and still move effectively. Women on the other hand could only carry 25%. Also the women suffered a disproportional level of knee and back injuries. That study went up through the pentagon to the Obama administration who promptly shit canned it.  

As I stated above putting females into ground infantry units with men will weaken the unit because the men in the unit will ignore the mission to protect them. The Israeli army has studied this at length. That’s why they put them in all female units such as armor where they do just fine.

Why do you want to weaken our infantry in the name of DEI?  

Here’s a question for ya? Are you so far around the bend you thinks trans women are women? If so what if a provider showed up to “your” door and said provider was a dude that had transitioned? Would you as “HER” to stay?

to prove he's really and ex-Marine by throwing out bushels of jargon.
But it's not really a good try.
Semper Lie.

I'm Not "Ex" anything ODB. Ret. goes next to my name.  

P.S. Just to piss you off it's "an" not "and."

Ret. goes after your NAME. And we aren't using your NAME.
So it would be Joe Blow, Your Made-up rank, ret. But you would also be an ex-Marine.
Thanks for proving again you're a clueless liar.
Semper Lie

Ret. As you know means I’m retired (served a minimum of 20 years) and you have the order wrong. Go look it up dumbass.  

Also once a Marine always a Marine dumbass.

In addition Marine SNCOs upon retirement are transferred to the reserves where we are in the IRR FOR AN ADITIONAL 10 years… just for your information.  

Dumbass

Once a liar, always a liar.
Semper Lie

willy puts in a lot of scientific words in a futile attempt to prove he knows about science.  Likewise, LostSon tosses out military lingo in a vain attempt to”prove” he was a Marine.  

 
Inevitably, however, they slip up and reveal themselves to be phonies.  In this case it’s LostSon who has fucked up and outed himself.  He mentioned a woman who was stationed on “Paris Island.”  Any REAL gyrene would know it’s “Parris Island.”
Parris Island has been around since 1915!!  Every boot on the Eastern seaboard has to go to Parris Island.  

 
There are only two reasons someone would misspell “Parris”:
A.  He’s stupid AF
B.  He was never a Marine
C.  Both A and B

 
I vote for “C”

That is hilarious, Big Pappa Felch taking up the slack for Icky ODB who is supposedly off playing ski bunny but in reality he is getting ready for his next colonoscopy.

First off you had to Google when Paris Island was founded Second you had to look up how it's spelled and then try to be Grammer Nazi jr. Third I never went there being that I am from west of the Mississippi so I went to San Diego.  

You like your NN partner are just pissed I pick on you about something (in this case your extreme weight) so you gotta make shit up. BTW are you under 300 LBs yet? If not Get on the treadmill Jabba.

He's whole damn stinking pile.
