Another thing I find amusing about McCarthy’s ignorant comments is the fact that on the same day she said that women can’t effectively use an AR-15, the administration made the announcement that they were going to let women into combat arms specialties.

I found O’Reilly’s choice of “experts” on the subject of women in combat this evening to be interesting, too.
He had a former Army infantry captain on one side, and a retired female Air Force A-10 pilot on the other.
Since the proposal in question has nothing to do with pilots, I’m not sure what her expertise on the subject is. And I heard Tammy Duckworth yapping about it today, too. She was a helicopter pilot.
As soon as they can come up with a woman who’s made it through the Infantry Officer Basic Course and Ranger School, I’ll listen to what she has to say on the subject.

Well if we want to add other countries around the glove I think the stats are close to 40 million a year.
Even if this number is inflated by half that’s still 20 million a year and close to 1 billion in the past 50.

We’ve rarely taken significant losses in straight-up combat in Iraq or Afghanistan, really. The vast majority of our casualties have come from either roadside bombs blowing up vehicles or from rocket/mortar attacks on bases.
When they try to attack one of our units in a dismounted fight, it usually results in somewhere between a 10-1 and a 100-1 casualty ratio in our favor.

@ AZfederalist:
What they are trying to do is reshape what the 2nd amendment is about. It’s not about sport or hunting and the necessity of guns for that reason.
@ song_and_dance_man:
Good luck with that.
Same thing goes for tank crews. Everyone thinks a tank is some sort of push-button video game combat. Everything on a tank is heavy as hell. That ammo doesn’t magically appear in the racks inside the turret, either. And you can’t call OnStar when your track breaks.
Tanker uniforms these days have extraction straps built into the back, so you can pull a wounded crew member out if the tank is hit. There are no escape hatches in the belly anymore. You have to grab that strap and pull them straight up through the hatch in the turret top.
@ song_and_dance_man:
Yep. Hopefully they will fail.

Yes, plenty of women are currently serving in combat. Some have even been directly involved in firefights with the enemy.
That’s not the same as being in a position where your job is to go out there and intentionally find the enemy and fight them.
It’s sort of like the difference between someone having a concealed carry permit and being a cop (although not exactly, because cops go home at the end of their shift).

Seriously now. I have no idea just how many women really want to engage in combat on the ground level, but I have heard some say it has to do with the lack of promotion for women in the forces. I can see that. There would be little chance of any woman aspiring to the rank of General or even Colonel without a record of hard battle on the line.
The whole thing smacks of PC and it will hurt the military and in no way helps. It is just another way for Leftist dogma to infiltrate the last bastion of heretofore slightly unmolested American tradition.

@ 1389AD:
I don’t post here much but I think we should take up a collection to send 1389 to Russia forthwith so that she may have her wish. I feel that I must speak out about her and other’s secessionist beliefs. My family didn’t fight in the Revolution and didn’t help to create this great nation in order to have some some vile trash wish for its’ destruction. You claim to be against Muslim terrorism as am I but wishing for the destruction/breakup of the US plays right into their hands as well as Obama’s hands. You claim to be a Serb so go there. I propose that the Blogmocracy take up a collection to send 1389, Czech Rebel and the rest of 1389 blog to Antarctica which needs people. Unfortunately, most of its people are research scientists, and that crew wouldn’t qualify. America has had bad Presidents before and does again but we will get through this as we always have. Also, if a breakup does occur, what makes you think the new leader will be better? Remember, the secessionists were willing to break the law to break off from th US in the first place, so what makes you think they would embrace the rule of law once they gain power? They would have no moral authority. And what about multiple secessions? Secession sucks and is wrong. Our ancestors fought for unity and they deserve better than this treasonous claptrap. I wonder how many of those advocating secession actually got off their butts and voted last year?
@ Mike C.:
Thanks for the morning guffaw!
@ mtc:
Well actually, seccionists in the late War of Northern Agression didn’t break any law by secceeding, nor would any do so today. There’s no law against it. But the folks you are railing against hold that seccession would be peaceful. I assume they’re color-blind and can’t tell red from blue on a voting map from the last election -- that’s the most charitable interpretation I can come up with. Don’t know for certain, but I strongly suspect Russia and Serbia don’t exactly roll out the red carpet for people with no money who don’t speak the langauge and who have outdated technical skills. I could be wrong on that, but that’s my guess.
