This should be talked about like the f35 or any other military acquisition, cost basis and efficacy. The fact that you are insulted by that basis and focused instead on 2 women's accomplishments clearly is impacting your capacity to engage in this conversation.
What does Obama have to do with this?

Never miss an opportunity, right?

We're supposed to believe that after years of seeing him get p-whipped by his wife and daughters. Am I the only one who believes that his "transformation" really isn't based on long-standing feelings (like he claims) but rather the result of years, and years of humiliation, degradation, and immasculation at the hands of his family?

President showing up to a military ceremony something he RARELY attends and a handful of women who just happened to have been the first women to pass the test will be there, of course they had not passed the test when his attendance was announced. No influence there no pressure on military commanders to please the commander in chief. 2 star generals as patrol evaluators, recycled 2x.

Aside from your deflection do you have an actual response to my comments?

Well aside from 67 and 73 or WWII and Korea in our case , major high intensity combat seems to be a once in a generation occurance. On the ground during the intifadas is more of a police action backed by air strikes.

So they are not a new unit. Interesting.

About four years to ten years old if memory serves. They are on wiki. But I'm on a phone and too old to figure how to link.

Oh, ok. I misunderstood what you meant by the dates. Haha, I was thinking you were saying they had seen action during those times. Which seemed odd because Israel wasn't around during WW2. I understand what your talking about now.

Ignore the facts. Im not arguing with a feminazi who's a hippie. No thanks.


And FYI, I have no idea where you came up with saying Im a John Wayne fan. I assume it has something to do with my user name? If so, youre sorely mistaken. I have a love of big cats, it has nothing to do with boring ol' John Wayne.
