Women Too Emotional For Combat? - Rick Santorum

Does Rick Santorum think women are too emotional to engage in military combat? "After a year-long review ordered by Congress, the Pentagon yesterday announced easing the ban on women serving in combat..."* which didn't sit well with the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate.

hey brianna guess what our fore fathers who fought for our countrys freedom were men not women men who died for our freedom and men are stronger faster and less distracting. How about you put a 120 pound pack on your back and try to run whatl happen to the men nothing they wont complain or any of that bitching shit but women will complain and will have a lighter pack so if women cant meet the man standerd of the us army or marine or navy standerd then dont even walk through the fron furckin door

considering that most guys won't fight a girl yeah i guess these girls you know can "kick their ass" since they wont try.

you beat him how????? shooting at inaniment objects???? try shooting at live targets as they shoot back at you. I dont care about this issue but you need to learn some respect for your elders and the men who have died for their country. Grow up child

You want to know what's funny. I'm reading these comments and I was laughing my ass off.. I'm a 15 year old GIRL.. Who beat a soldier, 2nd LT davidons, in sniping.. And he's a fucking ranger and a snapper.. I do believe there are some woman who have emotional problems that shouldn't be in the military. But there is a lot of females I know who can kick a guys ass... If you have a problem with my comment I would love to hear what you have to say.. GO AHEAD I FUCKING DARE U

shouldn't matter who their going to save its how many their able to save.

It's high time women were allowed to do whatever they want in the military if they can meet the standards, and it's also time they were made to register for the draft alongside men.

[dauntedear5]

I believe that it is bullshit that woman are denied certain military rights. Got a problem with my opinion? I would just LOVE to hear what you have to say... Go ahead, I DARE you.

Having women in the Infantry will just get in the way, it will cause more harm than good.

If a woman knows her beast, knows how to tame it, and how to unleash it, then let her serve.

3/4

We should be taught to acquaint ourselves properly with our inner animal when we're young, so that as we are socialized there's less cognative dissonance. Yet, instead of the average citizen being able to stand up for him- or herself, we are weak (in general, as a civilization). We need enforcers of law to protect us from punks who let their inner beast get the better of them. We ask young men to fight and die for our freedom because we are unwilling to do it ourselves.
