[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Oh boy........

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I have no faith in the military brass to get his done right........

As I don't much about how the military operates, I don't really understand what you mean by this. Do you (or someone else who might understand) mind elaborating?

I think they're going to relax standards in some areas and say they didn't.  Then get caught.  I think they'll look for ways to make sure very few, if any women, make it through special forces training.  Then get caught.

The military brass (not the troops) is a good ole boys world that DOES. NOT. WANT. THIS.   But it's stuck with it.

And forget the article where it says all the Joint Chief's are on board.......the Marines were the only ones honest enough to say it's not a good idea.   They all believe it.

Your sexism is on another level.... 

Just a reality check.  You'll see I"m right.  I have no problem with women serving in all roles.

NOw I'm just a foreigner, those primary language is not English, but I think this line from grumps:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

...say that the common troops don't have anything against letting women serve, but the reactionary old men in charge are the ones having a problem with women serving in combat.

So I think it's a very insulting to call him sexist based on what he wrote in comment you quoted.

Thanks but he only read what he wanted to.   Yes until the joint chiefs, secretaries of the services, and 4 stars are predominantly women, it's old men I'm criticizing.
