I
KNOW I am about to piss so people off but I am so fucking sick of the liberal
approach to our military I could just vomit. The military must be conservative
and hold our WARRIORS to a higher standard. These men joined our military to
protect us and our country and because of our countries Nancy ass approach to it
we are allowing the liberal mindset to attempt to turn our WARRIORS into
pussies.
You have
no idea how pissed off I am right now and this stems from an old story and a new
one. The first and most recent being on my dear blogger friends blog,
ekyprogressive and you can read it
here. The other from
the outrage read on the internet and heard on the radio banning military
personnel from blogging.
I guess I will
deal with the latter first.
When you join
the military you give up certain freedoms and I think not being allowed to blog
is perfectly acceptable. In general conversation a soldier can let things slip
that he should not have whether he meant to or not. While some may not mean to
other may. I do not expect the government to monitor these all of these blog and
make sure no sensitive information is being released either accidentally or on
purpose. Giving up the freedom to blog is perfectly acceptable.
Write a
letter. If you have ever been military you know they will go through letters
and black out some information. With a blog there is no way to control that.
Ditch the blog for military personal. If you are so nosey that you must know
what is going on go ask a solider or write to one.
Now on to this
lady who was allegedly raped, basically she got raped by three other soldiers
while in their barracks while drinking with them. They were partying. She
told. She was interviewed harshly as she should have been as these are harsh
allegations. She did not like the fact that these same questions would be asked
at trial and backed out so not to further FEEL victimized.
So here is my
problem. She told these folks these men raped her. While I feel bad for her it
is an alleged rape. They have not been found guilty. REMEMBER DUKE. Anyway she
decided, after bringing this to the authorities attention, that she did not want
to take it further and I know this is going to piss you all off but after making
allegations like that against anyone she has no right to back out no matter how
hard it might be on her. How hard is it on those guys? How hard is it for them
if it was not rape?
This is the
military folks and in my humble opinion they have a much better system than we
do. I think if she cannot do what is right and take this to trial she deserves
to be punished for it. She has no right to make these men look bad and should in
fact stand behind her word and punish these guys if it actually was a rape. The
few women like her and the ones who report false rapes when they changed their
mind after the fact or needed an excuse for that baby make me sick and make all
women who were justifiably raped look BAD.
Further more
this is the EXACT reason women should NOT be in the military. The military is a
place for our warriors and very few women can live up to the standards set for
men and only those that can live up the physical standards set for men should be
allowed in the military. Women in the military deserve no special treatment for
having a vagina. They deserve to be treated EXACTLY the same. The military is
not a scholarship for college, free education or job training or guaranteed
benefits. Those are the perks for our Warriors that put their lives on the line
for our country.
If you want to
be a nurse go to college.
I cannot stand
what our military has become since allowing special treatment for women. Adding
women to the mix makes for a new special set of problems.

My very close uncle was a captain in the navy.
My Step m0ther is in the army and she is a skank.
Almost all of my cousins are or were as well as a few uncles on the other side of the the family (none female except my skank step mother).
The only thing that kept me from joining entering officers train school(army) was Johnny(I already had a recruiter all over my ass).
So I may not have been the actual tea but I have been steeped in military all my life not to mention that I should have been enlisted as moral support there for a while.
Guess what laws the families of military men are subject too? The UCMJ. While we cannot be court marshaled we can be kicked off and banned from bases.
But your suggestion of banning all women from the armed forces because some will be raped and some will make accusations of rape goes to far. Women personnel can expect to be raped if they become POWs. They shouldn't have to expect it if they attend a military academy. And one Tarawa Brawley doesn't taint the entire sex either.
Finally men and women can both be raped. Please point out where I said they could not or used the fact that they can be raped in this article to support my point. I didn't. Ever.
Since you brought it up though I would like you to do some research and see how often men are raped compared to women. I can tell you off the top of my head but I think you need to read up on it. 91.8 are women 8.2%(and most the men's stats are taken from prison) are men. So do not tell me men are as likely to get raped as Women.
MOST Military personnel do NOT work in air conditioned offices and I seriously wonder where you are pulling your information from but I can bet its the same place you shit from. Most military personnel are in combat arms units and tasked out to the field for most of the year even when there is no war.[GLARE]
Its sounds like to me most military personnel YOU know work in air conditioned offices but that makes sense.
You are wrong and I will let Johnny handle you.
Guess you missed those world wars.
Armies are a necessity in a world like this because no matter how secure you believe our standing as the world’s superpower is, there will always be people willing and able to attack us. Someone who lives off of the government tit I would expect to place all of your trust in the establishment even though you probably curse it.
So here is the big question pal; since you seem to be such an authority on world politics and the military, when were you last in the armed forces? Then I want you to ask me the same question.
Xena rocks...[THUMBUP][THUMBUP][THUMBUP][LOL]
[OHMY]Liberal mindset...[TONGUE][GLARE][TONGUE][WINK][LOL]
They do not deserve special treatment or special requirements.
Did you know only 14% of women said they would remain in the military if they were compelled to participate in combat arms units? Wake up time, that is what the military is for primarily.
Did you also know that :Finally, when asked if combat readiness standards should be the same for both men and women, 52 percent of men said the standards should be the same, while 81 percent of women said they should be different.
I am all for The Women’s Army Corps (WAC) but not for them being in the same army as men unless they can adhere to the same standards.
Do you doubt that men could hold the exact same jobs that women now do? Do you doubt that several men cannot belong to that MOS because women are holding that position. Men that do hold to those standards and do not need special treatment? Do you doubt that their are men who do adhere to these standards that choose not to be career military because they cannot hold the position they would have because a woman who gets special treatment holds that position?
And no matter what pressure she was under do you think it is okay to accuse someone of rape and not follow through and did you ever stop to think it may not have been rape? The reason I ask is the military is not saying a word yet is continuing to prosecute despite media pressure. That alone should say there is more to the story.
I don't doubt that men or women could perform the same functions. I just think an individuals best skills should be utilized, either in the military or in the work force, and their weakest skills, while they should be "worked on" should be something that they are not expected to do as their primary function. If a woman is an excellent sharpshooter and sucks at radio repair, make her shoot, and don't let her near the radio...[LOL]
There are 1.5 million active US military personnel. Of which a million are stationed in the continental united states, 100,000 are stationed in Europe, 200,000 are a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the 200,000 are scatterred across every country known to man.
The Marines take the view that every Marine is an infantryman (or infantrywoman) which means he or she has to be able to exert 2.5 ounces of force on the trigger. The other services don't set their physical fitness standards as high.
Glad you are proud of your freedom. The freedom American soldiers gave you without them you would be speaking German.
You have just proven you are nut.
Glad YOU were protecting this country.
The Army has nothing to do with Homeland Security.
You fucking pussy.

Of course, we are in a time of war, and I understand that that does call for additional spending, although that is quite a figure you must admit to be engaged in two wars, one (Afghanistan) which does have something to do with terrorism and the other (Iraq) which had absolutely nothing to do with the attacks on 9/11, or the funding or cooperation with Al Qaeda. Now we are looking at Iran even though the facts show that Saudi Arabia contributes more to terrorism (50% of suicide bombings, financial support, etc) than Iran's people (not the government, but people in Iran and specific individuals) ever have.[SMILE]
[SMILE][HEART][WINK]
I hear you about the rape accusation. I have not read the story so I'm not sure of all the details but I've always had a difficult time understanding women who refuse to testify. Maybe I don't understand it because I've fortunately have never been kind of a victim? I don't know. I suspect that I don't understand it because I know how I am about justice being served when it is deserved. I can't see myself backing down because someone may make me feel like a slut (like who cares?).
Anyway, good post!
I just wondered this. If women are not allowed in the military, what about gays? In essence doesn't the same sort of conflict arise as with women? Of course, I don't see the problem as a gender or class, I see it as an individual situation. An asshole will be an asshole regarding of race, sex, creed, national origin, whatever.
I could go on and some might about the over feminine gays that give the every day normal gay guy a bad name but most gay men I have known are not like that. That particular brand would be the same as a women but he would not make the physical requirements anyway :)
Like I said though I am not against women in the military just against ones who cannot be warriors.[THUMBUP]
This is my point. If you are a combat medic or nurse in the field you MUST be able to FIRST defend yourself and your country the rest of your skills are gravy. I believe women should be allowed on the front lines and that all women in the military should be expected to be on the front lines just like the men if they are in the military but I think any women on the military should have to meet the exact same physical standards as a man to qualify to be in the military and to continue qualifying.
If a woman can meet these standards and there certainly are many who can meet these standards then I am behind them 100% and any military branch they choose to join but if they do not they can get their education at college.
Did you know all but 14% of women said that if women were expected to be on the front lines they would leave the military? Well then I think 86% of those women should be discharged from service. Women want equality, give it to them and let me feel like my country has got my back.
As far as the military is concerned, if you cannot meet the physical requirements of the job, you should not get the freaking job! If you do, you put everybody in your company at risk on the battlefield. People will be killed because you cannot do your job! SO , what does the military do? In order to accommodate women, and in order to be more politcally correct, THEY LOWER THE STANDARDS!!!!! Political correctness is killing people! I'm not saying that women don't belong in combat. I'm saying that women who can meet the standards belong. The same as men! (Men fail the standards too, and there are no allowances made for them!)
On the question of rape accusation - if you have time, I'd like to you to read one of the very first blog posts I ever wrote. It's called "A Question of Rape." I'd like to get your opinion on it, if you would be so kind.
Holly, you showed a lot of guts voicing these opinions in this post, and I admire you for doing it!
If you don't mind, I'm adding you to my "buddies list" right now.
Don't let the bastards get you down, kid! Keep it up!
Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. I suggest you need Mark Twain's advice; "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
