We’re Back: Hegseth’s Confirmation, Cali Wild Fires & Elon's Free Speech Fiasco

[@winniebear92]

I am a woman Marine Corps veteran and I'm telling you, women should not be integrated into combat roles. Serving in admin or support roles is one thing, but not combat.

[@yesman866]

Some still get involved in ambushes on supply lines and perform their duties with courage but I agree that mixed frontline companies shouldn’t be a thing. They’re mixing up his comments on purpose. Imagine the moral when someone gets grabbed by the enemy and video gets put on the forums online. Would demolish moral and lead to emotional responses.

[@davethomas]

​@@yesman866 First off it's morale not moral. I would not want to be on the frontline with someone who doesn't know the how to spell a 4th grade word properly. And all of this is just stupid. Would you also say the same for fighting alongside a black man, or asian, or jewish, or any race or nationality other than your own? You can make all the arguments you want, but there is basic training for a reason. If you can't cut it then you don't get put on the frontlines. It's not hard. No need to whine about how you think men are superior and how women should be subservient.

I am Indian American and I did not come to the US through the H1-B visa program. I agree with everything Steven said but not JUST because of the facts he shared. The main reason is that America needs to import Christian immigrants IF we cannot find the skillset or labor here. A lot of these developing nations have garbage cultures. They have radically different worldviews and that matters! Christ Jesus matters. However, Steven would agree that there is ONE thing he would indulge in from India. Food. Most of the culture is garbage but the food is phenomenal. Fight me.

[@cindyshafer1957]

Mothers in battle come face to face with an 8 year old running at you with an IED. Could you save your unit with no regrets? He’s the same age as your son at home….

[@JoshKruger-o4g]

As a veteran who served 2 tours in Iraq and saw combat, I have to reluctantly agree with the women not being in combat roles. The problem though, is that even having them in so called support roles puts them in almost the same situations depending on the situation. The reality is that it's a massive distraction from the warfighting task, really through no fault of their own. It's just a reality of being heterosexual males and being around women, especially when the males are 18 to 29 for the most part. Throw in the complications with them having rank and being in power, and it's just such a detraction from what the military fundamentally is and MUST be - a force that only exists to kill our enemies and defend our country. It's another equality/dei movement that doesn't do anything to advance our lethality, and that's really the end of the argument.
