    The downside of women serving alongside men in fighting ships, subs, squadrons, etc.

    I think you misunderstood me, the lionesses are a grunt term for the Marine Corps Female Engagement Teams, who have been patrolling and interacting with a section of the population that has been offlimits to ISAF forces and most importantly to the taliban. After the last 8 years of exploiting...

    The downside of women serving alongside men in fighting ships, subs, squadrons, etc.

    Actually, if we want to have integration of women into our military and want to adequately address the problem of fraternization - segregation of units is the only way, until the formula for saltpeter is perfected (argaiv anyone?). This really isn't that radical of an idea; from the...

    The downside of women serving alongside men in fighting ships, subs, squadrons, etc.

    Amen bruddah! While it may be true that the majority of servicemembers serve withou incident, there will always be that significant minority that has a poisionous effect on the whole. Being a rifleman in a line company, it boggles my mind how inefficient and rigged the system is, and how...

    Child brides in Afghanistan

    I don't have it on me now, but the Marine Corps did a Law of War survey of it's troops and on that question 8% of Marines chose to kill the 14 year old kid - which is good because 92% of Marines intellectually know to do the right thing - yet disheartening because, and I forget the exact phrase...

    Child brides in Afghanistan

    Just to gain a little perspective, not all of Afghanistan is like this - this weird strain of Pashtunwali-Islamic-Deobandi thought only really exists in the tribal areas and is one of the reasons that the rest of the ethnic groups in Afghanistan have resisted the taliban so fiercely.

    Because we have no money... seriously the reason that we you don't see HMMWV drivers rolling around with KRISS Super V's and Riflemen don't pack SCAR-L's is because there isn't the procurement funds. Seriously, the Marine Corps hasn't fielded a T/O battalion in forever - and even with Marines...

Also Inglourious Basterds was awesome if only for the fact that never before have I hoped that a...
