This is less about "gender equality" than about the diminishment of our military ethos and capabilities. Look at the senior officers who are being cashiered, most for nothing much in the larger scheme of things. Look at General Mattis, being relieved of his command early. This is about the deliberate destruction of the US military. In 10 years, we'll be as combat ready as the Danish!

Naturally, you can cite the many, many, instances of nurses humping a 100-150 pound pack into combat?! Semper fi

There are a host of issues with blacks in the Army and Navy, not so much in the Air Force and very little in the Marines. But it isn't about skin color. It is about physical ability. Semper fi
