I know most liberals don't understand this, but the purpose of soldiers isn't to die, its to kill.....
...and be killed.

I don't get your point. Are you saying a man hitting a woman is sexism? I guess so.
Are you saying if a woman hits a man, it's sexism? No, it isn't.
sex·ism
/ˈsekˌsizəm/
Noun
Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.
So who determines the line between what is respect and what is sexist?

Jarod argued earlier that it is sexist to not want to see women die in war but to be ok with men dying in war. Can one argue it is out of respect for women to not want to see them die in war?
(unless your life is in danger or the woman is really trying to kick your ass)

No man should ever hit a woman. It's not about sexism, it's about respect.
Ya know, Tom, I've known a lot of Brits in my lifetime. Many are good friends. Never have I seen such a level of obvious misogyny coming from my Brit friends as I see with you. Get help and learn to respect women as equals, willya?
Isn't that what I said?
I don't want to see anyone die at war. That said, however, women have as much right to fight along their male counterparts as gays and blacks. This is the problem with the right...they want to dictate what women can and cannot do. Why is that? Because women should be submissive to their man.
Bull Hockey! If a woman wants to take up arms and fight for her country, who are you to make the decision she shouldn't? That, my friend, is sexism!
Well said, for an otherwise scumbag that calls women 'cu^ts'.....
Perhaps you didn't understand my words. IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE FOR A MAN TO HIT A WOMAN.
Unless of course shes trying to kill you.

Save me "the right" bullshit. I'm asking as my own person, not as a member of a political party of political group. To not want to see a woman die in combat has nothing to do with my political beliefs plus I already have stated that if a woman wants to go to the front lines and can pass the physical test then I support. Hey, I'll be the first to celebrate during the next war when more woman have been killed than men in combat. That will be true equality.
So if a woman attacked and robbed you and was doing serious physical harm to you you would just sit there and take it, risking death, out of respect? I would love to see that on YouTube.
Howey was in the military for many years also, and his opinions carry some weight with me.
I've read SR's comments on this and other threads over the past few years. Here he's providing a Catch-22 couched in oh-so-reasonable language but I don't buy it wholesale because of the source. SR wrote the following a few years ago. I thought he was being sarcastic but apparently not. He characterized his fellow soldiers as nothing more than camp followers. Do you guys understand how piggish this sounds to women?
"I know that during my tour we had very attractive female Marines that went on patrols with us, slept naked with us out in the field during offensive operations and performed sexual favors for all of us to keep us in a good mood... helped ferry ammunition to us during firefights, cooked our meals, carried out our wounded, sometimes they would sun tan topless and invite us to hold "who has the best tits" contests.
Just imagine the parties we'll have in combat now that the homosexuals problem of coming out of the closet has been solved!!!"
Im so relieved.

I initially had respect for Howey but he has now revealed his true colours.
I would think arming more women with combat weapons would tend to reduce rape......
No...my comments were not piggish. My comments were in the defense of both male and female Marines as another poster had insinuated that heterosexual members of the military ALWAYS flaunted sexual behavior between each other and he was advocating that homosexual members SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEHAVE THE SAME WAY.. my full response was:
"This will have no affect on the majority of the military. It will be neither beneficial nor harmful to the majority of the military. It in no way will HELP the military one way or the other.
But for a few units, units that actually depend on discipline, cohesion, and trust, this issue will create problems. Forced problems for no other reason than what Socrates so eloquently described, so that 2 soldiers of the same sexual orientation can date each other, fondle each other, and have sex with each other without fear of repercussion.
Such an important priority FOR US ALL!!

It was clearly a response mocking the idea that female and male soldiers interact in such blatantly sexual ways as some sort of justification for the repeal of DADT.

Reminds me of Sen. Boxer, I think it was, that demanded some male General address her as 'senator' and not Ma'am....lol
EVERY soldier is taught from day one, to address a female officer as Ma'am as a show of respect....pinhead Boxer thought otherwise.
