[Four women sued to be allowed in combat]
We simply can’t win one way or the other, which is why I recommend simply letting them claim to be full-fledged soldiers, giving them a gun and the standard equipment, and sending them out on some mission in Afghanistan. At this point, who gives a damn what happens? She and her sisters-in-arms would get cut to pieces, but we don’t even have the money to pay for the subsequent lawsuit any longer, so might as well let her have her wish.
It’s time men finally recognized that this isn’t our country any longer. Let the girls play their games, take all the money, call themselves soldiers and so forth. The sooner it falls apart the better for us.
Now that we’re calling people who are innately better suited to giving hummers than to driving in them soldiers, it’s time to call it quits. I just hope we can decommission the nukes fast enough to prevent a global catastrophe.

I'm sorry, WTF, but I can't find anything about your military service. Anyone who insists on discussing the issue of women in combat with such vehemence should have some first hand experience, don't you think? I mean, we need troops, the right-wing intellectual crowd refuses to permit women in combat, so of course those "intellectuals" are signing up in their stead, right?
Right?

It was never yours in the first place, WFP.

Oh, so this is what you're worried about...
Even if we completely bar women from combat, you still wouldn't get any.

They might prefer that over giving you a "hummer" actually.
And there it is again "our country". As if white, Christian men own the United States and everyone else is just squatting here. I see this mentality sickeningly often. It's not YOUR country, it's everyone's country. We all are a part of it. Black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim, atheist, you name it. If you're an American then the US is your country. And I'm damned tired of being told that I don't have a share of it just because I'm not Christian or others being told they don't get to take part because they're gay or have a vagina.
"play their games" = demand the same rights you have
"take all the money" = force you to support your children and the ex-wives you prevented from working during your "traditional" marriages
"call themselves soldiers" --because they ARE fucking soldiers, even according to your beloved military
"better suited to giving hummers"-- As if you'd even know about that. Which, of course, is the real reason you hate women, isn't it?
What's that about women not able to be soldiers?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariya_Oktyabrskaya
To quote from said page...
Her first battle involved Mariya manoeuvering her tank about the battle like a veteran. She took part in the bitter fighting; destroying several machine-gun nests and artillery guns. She was the first of her brigade to breach the enemy positions. When her tank was hit by gunfire, Mariya, often disregarding orders not to, would leap out of her tank and repair the tank, amidst heavy fire. During this action, she was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
Note that you fuckwit... SHE jumped out to repair the tank, not any of the men with her... she had more balls than the rest of the crew.
>She and her sisters-in-arms would get cut to pieces
Well, yes, they might. As do many male soldiers. That's what war is.
I'd rather see both genders banned from combat roles, but if we're going to let men throw their lives away for US imperialism we might as well let women do the same.
Women have been serving in various combat roles for years, Price, whether it be in special forces teams that pick their recruits or in Navy and Air Force. The only thing you're right about here is that you and the male privilege activists are just pissing in the wind at this point.
As he's a Christian, I wonder what his thoughts are on, say... Israel?:

National Service in the IDF is compulsory for Israeli citizens; of course, some decide to go career . [/hyper-paradox]
Can you say 'Krav Maga', W.T.F. Price? I know you can.
'National Service' doesn't exist here in the UK. It's purely volutary to join the Army, Navy & Air Force. Oh, and speaking of the latter...:

And the latter had just returned from enforcing the No-Fly Zone over Libya during the French, Canadian, British & US -backed revolution against Muammar Gaddafi. Only the best of the best get to fly our Eurofighter Typhoons in our RAF, so I'm afraid you have some explaining to do, W.T.F. Price.
How about you head out to some godforsaken warzone with the ladies to tell them how they're "playing" soldier wrong. I'm sure they'll let you ride in the APC if you just bat your eyelashes and complain how your feet hurt.
Then when the bullets start flying and you're crying for somebody to save you it's going to be such a shock that they aren't playing around at anything. They're goddamn soldiers. They fought for the right to be shot at for a living and the pay is abysmal.
Nut up or shut up.
I think women are equal to men in any capacity: surgeon, lawyer, business executive, airline pilot. I also think they an asset to the military. I do not, however, think they are fit for combat. Yes, I'm aware of the historical exceptions. And, yes, I was in the military. Ski troops in Alaska (before it was a state), to be precise.
There isn't a single war since WWII that women haven't been active combatants in. We're getting shot at and shooting back, we just aren't getting the official recognition and hence the promotions and pay for our most dangerous assignments. One clue that a person doesn't know what they're talking about is if they mention "the front lines," a quaint old-fashioned notion.
This country was never yours to begin with, you entitled whiner.
If my grandmother were still alive, she would punch you in your sniveling, cowardly face. She was a WAC & had more balls than you, armchair soldier.
As far as your little hummer joke goes, I hope the next time you pay for one, the hooker feminizes you with her teeth.
The IDF are one of the toughest militaries on earth and female frontline soldiers do not appear to inhibit this.
In fact, the non-gendered national service requirement has produced greater pro-social unity in civilian life and some of the most innovative approaches to counter-insurgency in the modern age.
inately better suited to giving hummers ?
assuming you dont mean handing out keys at the motor pool I will simply note that women, like men , have teeth. Placing any part of your anatomy between functioning teeth is asking for problems, being bitten hurts.
there is some learning involved.
"She and her sisters-in-arms would get cut to pieces" - Yeah because it is a walk in the park for the men over there.
"Now that we’re calling people who are innately better suited to giving hummers than to driving in them soldiers" - Oh just look at you. Aren't you so very, very clever? I bet that took you over a month to come up with that brilliant insult.
By the way, Brainiac, the Hummer is the commercial imitation of the military Humvee. The Hummer is really just an SUV that they tricked out to look vaguely like an Humvee to fool empty-headed "patriots" like yourself to spend money on a gas guzzling piece of shit car.
Nice, you don't even any arguments this time, just stupid sexist jokes. I would love for you, Vox Day, and other MRA assholes to get together in a room with a group of female soldiers and sort out your issues.
With that WFP, belches, wipes his mouth on the sleeve of his XXXXXL combat jacket, adjusts the SEAL badge on his Green Beret and levers his 380lb carcass out of his MARPAT couch and waddles out to the kitchen for another bag of Cheetos.
I deal with enough entitlement enough as it is. When sane people say "our" country they mean it live in it, when you say you mean that you're entitled to have it and keep it for yourselves and people who fit an arbitrarily standard made by your narcissistic sexist ass.
You make me sick W. F. (I hope he pays the) Price
YAY! WTF is giving up! We're getting there!
Ever hear of Lysistrata, stupid? Women refused sex to their men in order to get them to STOP fighting and instead negotiate peace. Is that the global catastrophe you're talking about; World Peace?
"We simply can’t win one way or the other"
Well, that's the first thing you've said that I can completely agree with.
Penny finally dropping much, W.T.F. Price...?! >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
