What is the whole purpose of the armed forces? It is designed to kill people and break things. We have to look at the military as a separate and unique institution with separate and unique requirements. It’s different from all other institutions in our
society, and our only standard must be excellence-no matter whose feelings get hurt. Our only concern should be that the military does what it is supposed to do.
Would an all-female combat force provide our nation with the best possible defense?
Clearly, the answer to that question is no. With an all-female combat force, would there be a need for men? Clearly, yes. Now, with an all-male combat force, do we have the best fighting machine we can assemble? Clearly, yes. No one has ever suggested
that women are vitally needed on the front line to improve our battlefield performance. So, if there is no need for women in combat as it relates to our purpose and objective, why are we considering it? Obviously, the answer is, For political reasons.
No gays in army; not a place for social experiments
There will be consequences to lifting the ban on homosexuals in the form of harm to the military & thus, arguably, our national security. If you don’t want to accept my judgement in this matter, perhaps you would be prefer to listen to Gen. Schwarzkopf,
who echoed what I have been telling you for years: “The job of the military is to go to war and win, not to be instruments of social experimentation.” Schwarzkopf says that although homosexuals have no doubt served honorably in the military, in every
case he knows about, their units have become divided when others learn of their sexual orientation. Every case!
Did anyone notice Les Aspin’s report that the military is not in a high state of preparedness? Could it be that the best and the
brightest of our young men have no desire to participate in the kinds of social experiments politicians are forcing on the military? Could it be that there is no way to foster esprit de corps when you treat the military like a social laboratory?
Congresswoman Pat Schroeder is leading the charge to have women in the military be given the choice of entering combat. She claims that unless women are allowed to serve in combat roles, they won’t get to climb the career ladder of the military & become
generals. Her philosophy illustrates precisely why we have to keep the ideology of feminism out of the military. What will the feminists seek in the military, first and foremost? Equality. Fairness. Gender quotas. Well, the military’s chief goal is
excellence. We shouldn’t emasculate (pun intended) the military by shackling it with the demands of every silly social movement that is currently fashionable. The military has a job to do.
I don’t believe that women should be in combat roles even if
they can do the job. Why? Simple. Women have a civilizing role in our society. They establish enduring values that are handed down from generation to generation. I just don’t believe that we have to subject women to the horrors and rigors of war.
