Why does the right-wing insist on females meeting the same physical standards men do? As long as they're not applying for Special Ops units they should be allowed to meet lower physical standards - and apparently this has been going on for years - since 2001 anyway. When I visited Parris Island to attend my sons graduation from Marine boot camp. I also watched a company a female recruits working out and it was very different then what the males did. I called it a Richard Simmons PT routine at the time - my son replied "they got it so easy, dad you wouldn't believe it."

So you are suggesting lower standards for women? Shame on you. |

So you support discrimination based on gender? Careful, you will lose your ability to post on the liberal board. Best not answer, you may be labeled a misogynist and a racist. |

Don't know much about the Marines do you? The Corps' has a longstanding tradition [several decades] of having a two-tier fitness requirements for men and women. The Corps' recently began imposing gender neutral physical requirements for specific jobs, a move that was designed to elievate concerns that physical standards will suffer as women integrate into combat units. But fear not, since you never served, but pass judgement on those that do from your easy chair, you'll likely be pleased to know Men and women in combat arms must meet the exact same physical benchmarks. Feel better now, General. PAT, knowing your Corps' is in the same good hands as when you served? |

We've already been thru this. I posted my positions on a number of gop positions None of you could refute any of them. So let's cut the crap. I have both liberal and conservative positions. A true conservative would not hinder the individual from succeeding no matter their personal beliefs on women in the military |

What bothers some of our male right-wing colleagues more then anything, all the way up to members of Congress and the Oval Office, is the fact women can do jobs they once found too difficult and dangerous to do. Apparently, clone and PAT suffer from a fractured sense of manhood. Because for decades they just assumed they were superior to females because they could change the flat-tire on the wife's car, and open her pickle jar. Male dominance ain't what it use to be - and PAT and clone are now confused by the loss of their once self-perceived dominate male roles they honored themselves with within our society. Poor guys, they should have joined the Marines - perhaps then they wouldn't feel so abandoned by society rapidly changing values. Fear not PAT and clone, small penis syndrome is medically treatable

Never claimed to be anything other than a moderate. I have positions which fall under both conservative and liberal viewpoints . What I have always claimed is that I'm a Republican |
