The military, once again, puts women into jobs the cannot do–this time, the Army’s Rangers–to advance the careers of political generals–among others, Maj Gen. Scott Miller, who oversees Ranger School. Or what used to be Ranger School.
Writes Susan Keating in People magazine: “A woman will graduate Ranger School,” a general told shocked subordinates this year while preparing for the first females to attend a “gender integrated assessment” of the grueling combat leadership course starting April 20, sources tell People. “At least one will get through.”
And two did, by being given special treatment. Again, a general’s career takes precedence over the good of his troops. An old story.
The Army cheated, says Keating: lowered standards to be politically correct and keep feminists happy. This, as the Army knows, and everyone who has been in combat knows, as well as most people who have been in the field military, is a terrible idea. But the Army exists to keep feminists happy. The services are in the hands of what Dave Hackworth, whom I knew before his death, called the Perfumed Princes. These are peace-time officers more interested in their own advancement than in their troops. Being politicians, not soldiers, they are afraid of women. They allow the feminists to make fools of their men:
The Army forces soldiers to wear pregnancy-simulators to teach them empathy–or so say feminists, but clearly the dykes enjoy humiliating the poor suckers. What must the Taliban think?
The public perhaps assumes that officers are honorable, which they are not, that they tell the truth, which they do only when convenient, and that they are interested in military effectiveness. Sure.
I have seen a great deal of the military and know whereof I speak. Having gone to Vietnam in 1967 with the Marines as an Amtrac crewman, I proved a mediocre warrior but apparently a talented target. I spent a year at Bethesda Naval Hospital and later returned to Southeast Asia as a stringer for Army Times for the last year of that war. This launched me on decades of covering the military for various publications. It was a fairly common career track in those days. Been there, done that.
I was pretty much the grunt’s reporter. I had little use for political officers, which is to say all officers beyond their first tour. (e.g., if interested, A Broken-Down Dumpster.) For years I was military correspondent for the Washington Times, wrote for Army Times and Harper’s, wrote a syndicated military column, Soldiering, for Universal Press Syndicate, and so on. So I will say to General Miller, “You can bullshit the fans, but you can’t bullshit the players. You are an embarrassment to the Army and a danger to your men.”
Aren’t they just adorable? The Army exists to promote empathy. Attrition is grave as men get out. Officers don’t care. They get paid anyway.
Brig. Gen. Malcom Frost, chief of the Army’s public affairs office, responded that the story is false—that is, that Keating is lying. She is not. For one thing, while some reporters will grossly bias stories, they do not make up complex stories from whole cloth. Second, friends of mine in military journalism know Keating and vouch for her. Third, what she has written is perfectly consistent with what I have seen, over and over and over, as the brass try to keep feminists happy. Keating is not a liar. General Frost is.
A soldier puts on darling high heels at the orders of a dominatrix–female general, I meant to say. It’s to make them sympathize with women. The Army exists to sympathize with women.
Why do officers put up with this? Because they are—you can’t lapse into the Anglo-Saxon in a polite column, so maybe–female-dominated catamites, moral milquetoasts, or (certainly accurate) politicians. Would they risk their benefits so as not to make a laughing stock of their men? You have got to be kidding.
“Neither Gen. Miller nor Fort Benning responded to questions asking about allegations of altered standards,” says People.
You bet he didn’t respond. I’d love to question him under oath. I dealt with generals and military flacks for years. They embody the attitude of the entire officer corps, which is that the press is the enemy, that right and wrong, truth and falsehood, do not matter, only positive and negative spin.
The PR types have to lie. If a flack confirmed Keating’s story, he would be calling General Miller a liar, not a career-enhancing move. Anything a flack says should be taken only as an indication of what the command wants you to believe.
OK, to the female Rangers. I don’t remember exactly when the campaign to put women in the combat forces began, but as years went by the push grew. From the beginning, it was fraudulent. At first the services made small, whimpering noises of dissent, and ran tests. (If interested in the subject, read here.) Every experiment failed. The main problem, though not the only one, is that women are weaker, far weaker, than men. This had to be hidden, and was. Standards were lowered and lied about.
Instead of real pushups, women could keep their knees on the ground. Instead of pull-ups, they could hang from the bar with their elbows bent. My friend Kate Aspy, a Harvard grad who enlisted in the Army, called the idea a disaster after going through Army boot. The Navy found women to be useless at damage control, and then hid the results. Military Medicine, then available only in the Pentagon’s library, noted that women had four times as many training injuries as men, usually sprains and stress fractures. They peed in their pants in jump school. Female medics couldn’t lift stretchers. The officer corps went along with this. Why? Their careers.
Things got positively silly. Female “soldiers” avoided drinking water on field exercises because they were afraid that the men would watch them peeing through TOW sights–which in fact they would have, armies not being genteel; consequently they suffered dehydration. Female helicopter mechanics couldn’t carry their tool boxes. Female troops in Afghanistan suffered skeletal damage because their joints are lightly built and they can’t handle the weight of a combat load. Always–always–when there was heavy physical work to do, the men did it and the women watched. They couldn’t lift crates of 81 mm mortar rounds, much less unload a six-by under fire. On and on and on.
The sexual problems were endless. I encountered scandal after scandal. Enlisted male instructors used their rank to take advantage of females under them, so to speak. A squad of thirteen men worked together as a team, but add a female and they all began trying to get into her pants–which women frequently used. A general in the Pentagon told me that he wouldn’t allow a woman in his office unless the door was open and a witness was present: If she claimed he harassed her, he was in trouble. (The editor of a major newspaper once told me the same thing.
Why do alleged warriors cave to any feminist they meet? Here is an essential rule for understanding the military.
Officers often have physical courage, but they never have moral courage.
If they do, they are quickly kicked out by a Darwinian selection with fangs. They come up through a system requiring absolute obedience and loyalty to the group. They think what they are told to think. More accurately, they don’t–they can see what is happening–but know better than to say it.
Girls enjoy a good laugh while feminizing what looks like a soldier. Roll over. Bark. Beg. They don’t even need riding crops. Hey, it’s not a job. It’s an adventure.
Well at least when the Russians kick our ass in Syria, we can say, So what, you beat a bunch of girls!
After years of killing brown people who can’t fight back, it will be telling for the armed forces to fight a enemy who has some level of technical prowess. I don’t think it will work out too well for the old US of A. Aircraft carrier, meet Mr. Hyper sonic missile…
After being in the Navy 30 years ago, we patrolled the oceans against the “evil empire”. I can’t believe I actually live in the “evil empire now”. I weep for my country and pray to God for him to show mercy on us.
“You can bullshit the fans, but you can’t bullshit the players. You are an embarrassment to the Army and a danger to your men.”
Bingo. And anyone here who has ever carried a ruck in the infantry knows this reality – and saying women shouldn’t be there isn’t the viewpoint of misogynistic, finger-pickin’, booger-eatin’ lummoxes, either.
It’s not a philosophy question. It’s one of physics and anatomy (and psychology, but that’s best left aside as it WOULD invite irrelevant debate).
As for Russia, a girl can fire a smart bomb -or a nuke- as well as a man.
Maybe she won’t do as well at hand to hand and such, but the use of more powerful weapons and more readiness to use them against opponents can equalize that, the same way it has for our domestic police departments since they started hiring girls that can’t take on aggressive criminals the way a man can. You just change the training to rely on high powered weaponry above physical skill and prowess.

Yup, technology will do that for you.
And when Mech suits arrive, no doubt women will be serving in front-line combat units in the US. If the question is one of purely overcoming anatomy & physiology, that “problem” is being solved.
Maybe we’ll just leap-frog past this and robots will handle it? Not a world I look forward to as I’m not fond of Mechanics Illustrated Techno-porn, nor the idea of automated cars: surrendering my connection to the physical world is simply dehumanizing. And potentially life-ending. Period.
“The main problem, though not the only one, is that women are weaker, far weaker, than men. This had to be hidden, and was. Standards were lowered and lied about. ”
True, as anyone who’ve ever served with the creature of chaos can attest. I never once saw WACs change a truck tire, dig a latrine , pull KP , set up their own GP large (tent) or be trusted on guard duty with a male soldier , without ending up on her in the bushes with here ankles in her ears.
This nation is being run by fools form top down, and the military will eventually succumb to PC stupid and national security will be tested my foreign nationals because of it. Bet on it.
Wonder what the Pentagon’s budget was for the, “Maternity suit, simulators” shown above?
I would love to see someone uncover this bit of “sensible” government spending.
Are they buying high heels in Men’s 13-EEE, as well? Someone find the circular on the “Mil-spec” requirements. That ought to be a laugh…right up until the rage comes after seeing the bill.
I took the tinfoil hat from the closet where I’ve been keeping it and put it on, tilting it slightly for that rakish effect that lets the ladies know I’m not just one more conspiracy theorist. The thing is, I’ve finally surrendered to the belief that the USA is being set up for a societal castration that will leave it defenseless against enemies domestic (those responsible for such nonsense like the above) and foreign, vulnerable to an aggressive invasion in addition to the passive-aggressive invasion called immigration.Technology’s all well and good, but it has its limits.
This feminist stuff would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous, but it IS dangerous and I finally believe that imminent danger has become visible upon the horizon.
once again, fred nails it. women in the military get away with murder too. it was infuriating. lower standards for EVERYTHING. I also think it shows a society in decline, that we would send our women to fight our wars, its disgusting. Now they are talking about welcoming transgendered troops as well. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? No word yet how thats going to work in barracks, or especially at sea. “Bob feels like wearing skirt today, ladies, so you have to let him sleep in your room and use your shower. ” Its only a matter of time until one of the bull dykes decides to be a man and wants to sleep in male berthing. It would be funnier if it wasn’t pathetic. And the other problem this causes goes hand in hand with being allowed to be openly gay now. In a typical inappropriate relationship scenario, it would usually be a male E4/5 banging a female E2/3. Now, in normal circumstances, that guy would get his dick nailed to a wall. Lose a pay grade, get transferred, go to captains mast, etc. As soon as the command got wind of it, game over. Now, if its two women, forget it. No one wants to touch that with a ten foot pole. No one wants to get accused of harassment or discrimination, so they just get away with it. throw it in everyone’s faces, the double standard is disgusting.
Speaking of double standards: PT. They get an extra 3 or 4 minutes on their run, and less than half on the pushups. In fact, a male has to be over 50 years old before his requirements are lower than an 18 year old girl, and a lot of them can’t even meet those pathetic standards. Watching some of them do push ups, they only have to do like 15, and they can’t even do that, their arms barely bend and they just hump the ground. Men would get told “nope, that one doesn’t count. Are you fucking kidding me? how fuckin old are you, and you can’t do a real fuckin pushup???” But when it was the women half-assing it, fucking SILENCE. Not one word was said. While Im in complete agreement that it is pretty pathetic for a man under 30 that couldn’t do 30 pushups, and for that reason had no sympathy for the complaints that it wasn’t “fair”, it really wasn’t. After all, a 200 pound male that could on do 28 pushups failed his test, but a 95 pound female that could do 14 half assed ones passed. Who would you have wanted to try to pull you out of the water of your boat sank?
Another thing that used to really bother me: we had one who couldn’t climb up an accomedation ladder on the side of a ship. Was not physically capable, but she could “pass” a PT test. So even though she wasn’t fucking capable of doing her fucking job, she got to keep it, and one of the men just went in her place every single fucking time we had to board a big boat.
Fucking unbelievable.
Feminists are creature of chaos and the bane of Western civilization.

Can there be any doubt whatsoever?
Global governance (tyrannical control, but eh, why quibble?) is the end game of a cabal of highly intelligent but equally insane elites. Period, end of story. The rapid expansion of technics simultaneously tied to demasculinization and hyper-feminization leads to one end alone. One.
Not an accident, not incompetence, not failure or misguided altruism, nothing but that single end. Engineered by a catastrophic combination of economic collapse, invasion by an alternative population, and cultural dissolution on a planetary scale leaves no other options.
Enjoy the decline!
Not to fear. a division of menstrual harpies sent to Syria will clear the battlefield. Russian and Iranian troops will flee in horror to avoid the clutches of hormone crazed bitches.
Most of you are relating experiences of the WWII or Vietnam era military. The modern military is a welfare program. The officers only care about their benefits, do nothing jobs, and forging connections that will enable them to transfer to cushy MI complex contractor jobs when they get out. The enlisted are typically would-be criminals or burger flippers who love the fact they can spend all their money on hats and sneakers, as housing will be taken care of for them. Their main goal is to flash their CAC card instead of their driver’s license, get 10% off at the store, hit on women, and rack up hollow “thank you for your service” accolades. This is not even to go into the Hispanic and black gangs that permeate the ranks.
As with any welfare program, you jump through whatever hoops are necessary to keep the funds flowing. If this means wearing high heels and pregnancy suits, so what. It fits the real nature of the modern military. Stop lamenting the loss of a proud fighting force, defending the borders. That organization hasn’t existed for a long time, if ever at all.
i hated WACs, what a sick bunch. the army made a good investment, in the 60’s 5% finished a 3 year enlistment. dyke heaven. draftees wanted out of ‘this man’s army” in my day, all the women had to do was say homesick/dicksick,knocked up,/ more recent times/ chewing the shit with a 30 year navy vet, his friend aunt jemima, stops by, 35 obese, retired wac, so we are yaking outside at Mcguire on a nice day enjoying a smoke, she gets stung by a bee and loses it all. i told her calm it down, this is a hospital, deep breath, here, wet some tobacco an apply to bite, and breathe thru your nose, quit freaking out, you ain’t gonna die. 10 minutes later she was praising the lord and equating me to jesus christ.; liikely she never made it 6 months before it become too obvious she never should have been in in the first place. imagine she got some disability discharge for lacking a brain.
And Obama cannot figure out why Russia and China are moving on the Middle East. The stupidity is confounding.
Once again, “both” sides are wrong.
Should a woman be given preferential treatment in the training for or standards for any job? Absolutely not.
Should a woman be refused a job if she meets the same standards as a man? Absolutely not.
Should men in combat positions be required to wear high heeled shoes and pregnancy-simulators to teach them empathy? Absolutely not.
Should men in combat positions be allowed to belittle (or worse) women who did the same training and met the same standards? Absolutely not. This is not likely anyway because that one in a thousand or one in ten thousand woman who can handle combat training would kick the men’s butt if they tried it.
Previous commenters already said what I’m thinking…
We’re fuckin’ done. Just… done.
Hardscrabble can vouch for the following – Jump School used to be an event. Attrition rates were over 60%. You’d hear shit about “the Airborne Shuffle” – implying any running involved was slow and methodical. Only fools fell for that shit.
They ran us like fuckin dogs. On Week 1, Day 1, we had guys – crowds of them – falling out. Every time we’d loop around Ungawa Towers, the crowd of fallouts would be that much larger. They were fuckin gone – pack your shit, you’re outta here – within a couple hours, never to be seen again.
Served as a lesson to the rest of us. If you were not moving at top speed all the time, you risked ejection from the course or worse – attracting the attention of one or more Black Hats. We still had those who fell out, but they became less and less as time went by. Weeding out the weak.
Guys would push through anything to finish a run – some simply ran over to the side of the track and puked, then caught back up. Some puked in formation. Some lost bladder and bowel control – still kept running. None of that was held against them – you did what you had to do. All of us did.
If you fucked up, you ended up in the gig pit where you were mercilessly dogged – pushups, situps, flutter kicks, gorilla drills, sidestraddle hop (“jumping jacks” for you non-military types), more… a 1st Lieutenant was actually killed in the gig pit the cycle before mine – had a blood vessel cut loose in his head. Dropped deader’n Julius Ceasar…
I was physically very strong, but mediocre on running. I was never a runner. True fact: I hate running. I knew I wasn’t the strongest runner, so I teamed up with a Marine E6 who was a better runner than I was. Mutual support. If not for him, I might not have made it through. We had some guys who were going through SEAL training and had to get their ticket punched for Jump School… those guys had to run Indian Drills around our formation when we ran in the mornings.. just fucking nuts, man…
On graduation day, those of us who had made it were proud as fuck. We felt like we’d actually accomplished something, and yes, those of us who wanted it got our Blood Wings. The Blackhat who “pinned” me damn near knocked me off my feet when he punched those wings.
Now? Man, I just read this shit and shake my head… pencil whipping females through schools only makes it a joke. Forcing Instructors to choose between their careers and dishonestly “passing” a female crushes morale – it’s GONNA get out that they were coerced, no matter what General says about it. Lowering standards jeopardizes lives. Including females changes the entire dynamic of an all-male formation and again, puts lives at risk.
The fuck are these fapstains thinking?
Araven , how many cats do you have?

The Gig Pit!
Man, I hadn’t thought back to that for decades!
My favorite place to be at 0:400, Ft. Benning, GA (Not!)
The Black Hats: “Ya’ll ‘ill be doin’ push-ups ’til MY nose bleeds, people!”
Fun times.
Billy you just underestimate just how badass the mannish bitch heroines of the modern army are…and besides Araven doesn’t like it when you say mean things about their physical competency. They’ve met the same standards , even if they are 70% lower than when you served.
Araven-Should men in combat positions be allowed to belittle (or worse) women who did the same training and met the same standards?
@Billy
— “The fuck are these fapstains thinking?”
I’ll bet many of them made a deal with a certain “someone” who wears many masks somewhere in their childhood and are still on that leash.
mean talk will not be tolerated….Araven is as much a man as any swinging dick here and will kick any man’ s ass on the board ass who thinks otherwise.
always good for a laugh..
Senstti says we will be defeated in war then the dollar will lose its status as the World’s reserve currency. Then we will come apart as a nation. Then America will be just another in the long list of
nations that have collapsed into a dysfunctional nightmare.Behind all of this has to be a super natural force. SATAN is the author of confusion ,death and destruction.
Damn Billy do something . Go kick some ass .Save our REPUBLIC or is it to late ?
I think it’s to late; 60% of Californians support the illegal immigration policy of Hussein.
I wonder if the Russian pilots flying the SU24s and 25s in Syria have “pregnancy simulators” included in their training? Also the red high heels look fabulous with color coordinated g-suits! Seriously, I used to give a shit about this stuff but not so much anymore. I got my commission at Navy Pensacola when the fuckin program meant something. Now it doesn’t even exist, gone. I finished flight training in the USAF and no one got a break. You either learned to fly the T-37 and 38 in the time frame allotted or you were history. Period! We lost 60% or so. No AA, no special snowflakes, strippers at the Stag Bar on Fridays. We didn’t know how good we had it!
Damn, this is truly crazy stuff. The armed forces are running low on cannon fodder and need to fish from ponds where the fish are inferior. The dead will pile up like cord wood.
The bat-shit crazy feminists hate men so much they want to be in every single male-only organization. Do they want to be there to improve the organization? Hell, no! They just want to “prove something” to justify their phony facade of strength which hides their feelings of inadequacy. They are insecure, irrational, not too bright and hateful and they blame men for it.
It’s difficult for men to try to understand women, and that is because women understand women and they hate each other.
Plus, they just want to fuck things up for men because it feels good, it’s ’empowering’ and, best of all, they can get away with it!
You got a guy out there saying I will fix all this bullshit, and he is probably as strong an option as we’re going to get. What am I missing?

Ok razzle, let me caption your picture. “Live it up bitchez, AG chris krispy is writing the indictments as we speak”
ragman, raz, backtable, flash, etc…
Them days are long gone, bros…
Used to be, we could sing the most nasty marching cadences known to man… then the shit started to change. We could only sing the good and funny shit waaaay out in the boonies, where nobody could hear them… then they stopped altogether… some of that shit was so hilarious, you couldn’t sing cadence at all due to the laughter…
Example of a now-banned cadence (yes, we really sang this in public once upon a time):
Kill the people, burn the villiage.
Aim the missiles at Red Square.
Hit ’em on a Sunday morning.
As the people go to prayer.
See old Granny on the front porch.
Sitting in her rocking chair.
Toss her an in-cin-de-ary.
Watch Gran go up like a flare.
See the old fish-er-man.
Sitting in his fishing boat.
Swim up to him un-de-tec-ted.
Then reach up and slit his throat.
See the cute and fuzzy kitten.
Playing with his yarn and thread.
See his tiny body crumple.
Underneath my M1’s tread.
There are more verses, but you get the idea… there were all sorts of awesome cadences – all now ‘banned’ because someone might get the idea that soliders were actually singing about… you know… killing people (GASP!!). As if that’s never happened before… we’re all supposed to be non-offensive, the soul of decency, etc…
Meh… they might as well just cut a guy’s balls off at the MEPS station… “Sorry, son. You won’t be needing these for the next few years… we’ll keep them in a mason jar for you until you separate from service…”
Assholes…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlZO79Ui0qo&feature=player_detailpage
Billy, somehow I don’t think old cadence tunes with lines like ” Ain’t no use in calling home
Jody’s got your girl and gone ” or My gals a corker, she’s a New Yorker , shes got a pair of tits will play too well with today’s feminist infested military…some dickless wonder might get offended.
BTW, I’d love to see a squad of WACs humping telephone poles under a sweltering Georgia sun….with the tallest in the middle .. great fun there.
