Replace "woman" with "man" and that statement remains true for a lot of guys as well.

Your comment suggests this WaPo story resonates with you for reasons not associated with the military.  

The ongoing attempt to normalize women into the military tempts us to approach military issues as if they are the same as everyday life.  But the two are not the same.  Its been a dangerous game of social engineering and we've gotten away with it for too long. 

This is my argument about women in combat:

My comment above (#21) is only partially in jest; when you throw young men and women together in tight quarters, sex (unfortunately sometimes unwanted) is the logical outcome.  Only strict segregation of the sexes or outright ostracism of one of the sexes can impede human nature. 

Let me amend that; women have no place in combat.  In the military generally, only with the understanding that these things can and do happen.

Here is a response to that WaPo article from the Washington Times.

“In the course of conducting interviews with commanders, I heard time and again complaints about female service members making sex-related allegations which proved unfounded,” Mr. Maginnis said. “Not only do some women abuse the truth, but it also robs their commanders from more important, mission-related tasks.

“Female service members told me that some women invite problems which lead men on and then result in advances the woman can’t turn off. Too often, such female culpability leads to allegations of sexual contact, assault and then the women feign innocence.

In essence, there is a greater increase in false reports of sexual assaults than actual assaults.  

My comment above (#21) is only partially in jest; when you throw young men and women together in tight quarters, sex (unfortunately sometimes unwanted) is the logical outcome.  Only strict segregation of the sexes or outright ostracism of one of the sexes can impede human nature.

The obvious solution is to kick all straight men out of the military.

I read lots of people (weasels) I dont agree with and or dislike; I just try not to pay for it.

I've been kicking around the idea of not renewing; I guess an idea found a way to kick me back.

Wait, does Friedersdorf have editor status?  And I too miss Dick Cheney.

Coders and programmers are the bulk of their labor force; their wages will be driven down.  

I imagine the techies are attempting to import mass cheap labor sold as  fairness of opportunity, the American Dream and all that  to avoid further p.r. issues with off-shoring.  

Apparently targeted tax breaks and enterprise zones still don't amass fortunes yet large enough for the tycoons of tech.   

...and to believe young men are opting out of marriage.

If you ask me, this girl has upper-management material written all over her.  

Sure it is silly in the context of greek campus social affairs, but every organization needs leaders unafraid to call members out and keep them in line.  

Don't know enough about any space related programs but tourism is an obvious place to start and maybe some kind of drilling/mining endeavors for raw materials.  

Yeti,

Saw what you did there with Wouldn't it be Nice.  Well done.

All this compassion seems to serve one's self as opposed to the Lord.  

Being raised Calvinist, I like my hell-fire damnation served with an extra side of brimstone.  May the wrath of God be as compassionate for these animals as He sees fit.  

Hope the university can afford her.

The letters M and J as in Mary Jane?

Why are you surprised exactly?

Or this.
