NOW can we be done with the silly, "women in combat roles" debate?

The recruiter at my ASOS is widely considered a 1% female by people in the wing. Top PT performer, competes in CF, ran track at Penn State, etc. She took a PAST a few days ago. Failed two of 4 events, the run and the push-ups.

It's not even speculation; here's the quote from the horse's mouth: “Importantly, though, if we do decide that a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn't make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain to the secretary, why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high?"

Exactly the reason I am getting out, this and the fucking corn-row issue for black females. The brass is more concerned with themselves than with winning wars.

When the nation falls I am gonna punch a liberal bitch activist in her fucking throat.

Cric, are you saying that you don't support my CONGRINT to allow me to wear corn rows? I thought we were friends....

I saw that shot in the WaPo yesterday, about them complaining that 670-1 is racially biased. I personally think 670-1 is biased against real warriors.

A timeless adage gents. Watch Seven Samurai or the Magnificent Seven...when troubles start they all come calling for the warrior but when the fighting is done, the warrior is alone.

As Kipling said: So it's "Tommy this" and "Tommy that" and "Tommy where's your soul?" / But it's "thin red line o' heroes!" when the drums begin to roll.

CNN has picked up the torch as well.

Dreadlocks "against the scalp or free-hanging" are banned. "Unkempt" or "matted" braids and cornrows are also considered dreadlocks and "are not authorized," according to the regulations that were updated this month.
It's that type of language, words like "unkempt" and "matted," that read to some African Americans, as code for racial bias.

I'm so sick of the fucking race card being pulled. Now that said, I don't know jack shit about having black hair and what it's like to maintain it. I do think corn rows look like shit though.

My people have been tattooed for over 5,500 years now (Circa Copper (Bronze) Age), so I say fuck you to the wankers who tell me I'm now unprofessional looking.

If soldiers aren't happy, they can go through a formal process to request changes to the hairstyle regulations, the Army said.

Oh, that sounds easy. :ROFLMAO: Bwahahahahahahaha!
 
Everyone, skin fades...GO.

Dudes are forced to look like dick heads (literally) and these females want equal treatment?
 
I'm confused, how does hair styling connect to doing any task or mission in the ground direct combat environment with competence and doing task and mission safely and with survivability? A public health argument concerning head lice and such and perhaps chem/bio warfare protective equipment and decontamination argument for limiting restricting certain hair styles can be made but that concern and solution already applies equally to both genders.
