i'm ill about this

Published Oct. 11, 2008

Another poster contributed the following gem earlier this evening in reference to a Jewish kid who got beaten during basic training ...

 

1. He joined a military that has becomes so feminized that we are no longer turning out the fighting force we once were capable of.

 

While I generally ignore his garbage, this one flew all over me. So, tell me folks, do YOU agree with this guy's viewpoint that our military has become feminized and can't fight any longer?

Personally, I don't. I disagree with the conflict they've been sent to fight, but I'm of the opinion that you won't find a better fighting / capable of kicking ass and taking names force anywhere in the world.

 

How do YOU feel about that?

I feel ok, and according to my wife I feel great.

The use of the word 'feminizing' is sexism in the sense it means weakening...but if it means differing physical standards (number/type of push-ups, amount of weight in packs, etc. to accommodate females, then it is not.

I can understand how it flew all over you. I agree that the statement is crass.. I just made a fool of me when I saw that KKK outfit on the other blog. I unlike you lost my cool without reading the bold print at the bottom. Been a hard day and little sleep.

i definitely disagree with this. while i disagree with the reasons for going into iraq in the first place, our troops have definitely put up a hard fight there. even given the resources they have in afghanistan (as limited as those resources are), our soldiers have definitely fought hard.

i didn't see the blog from which this originated, so i am not sure i understand this blog entirely. however, it sounds like a poster made the "feminized" comment in reference to a jewish kid that was beaten during basic training. if this is the case, i say the mere fact that he was beaten (esp. if it was b/c he was jewish) is a clear sign that the military has not become feminized.
