Just like every other bastion of tradition and masculinity, the military is under attack by the forces of progressivism. The military is by its very nature masculine, hierarchical, and undemocratic, as it must be to succeed in its core business of engaging with and killing the enemy. This also makes it a target.

Of all our institutions, the military is the one which has best resisted progressivism, in large part because of the nature of the job. One does not simply turn up and demand equality in the military. Incoming does not discriminate.

However the military is ultimately a servant of the political classes, and this is where the pressure to bow to feminism originates. Everywhere they go women moan, demand special treatment, and undermine hierarchy. This has happened to the military and sadly there is not enough will remaining today to resist it, as we have seen with the recent humiliating sight of soldiers walking in high heels.

Unless there is some change in leadership this can only get worse.

Sensible, sane women take one of the many other options they have in life before they pursue a career in the military. We have to question what sort of women our society is creating that they would seriously consider a career in combat, and what sort of a society we are that allows them to follow through such a bizarre and catastrophic decision.

What would make a woman want a low paid job they cannot physically do, while surrounded twenty-four hours a day by dangerous jerks that treat them like ****? Unsurprisingly, for those who know the nature of women it is exactly that. Most of them have daddy issues, are mentally damaged, or the losers of the sexual market who cannot secure a man and have no other career options to fall back on.

The most obvious problem with women in the military is that they are simply not good enough. Even with the reduced physical requirements for the non-combat roles they are eligible for now, many of them still fail to make the grade. They cannot even meet their own specially lowered standards for a job stacking blankets but still draw the same pay as real soldiers who have to work even harder to pick up the slack.

Women are capable of serving in most areas of the military if they meet the standard. I don't want to see the standard lowered though just to simply achieve some type of gender norming; especially ground combat.

How would women have fared at Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach?

I was never in the military, so I don't know.

I was reading this today and it seems mildly relevant. My girlfriend's dad (ex-FDNY) goes apeshit when he reads about any lowering of standards to accommodate particular groups, which has happened frequently in NYC recently.

An 18 year old woman was the best GM I could've asked for. Don't act like the military is all combat.

Ask the Israelis about this.

Meanwhile, in the military and not an internet message board:

They all want equality until its suggested that the physical fitness standards be the same as the men.

If that crew was randomly put together then I have no problem with it.

Well if it was up to progressives and they were running our military, our soldiers would be out there in Terry shorts, roller skates, and reflective gear having gay pride parties while the world around us burned.

Lowering standards to accept an appearance over experience and/or qualification is the quickest way to fail.

They served fine on the eastern front, which was the most devastating of the war by a wide margin.
