Marine Corps Study on Female Combat Effectiveness
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...omen/71971416/
Thought some of you guys might find it interesting.
In other news, the Marine Corps is now reporting that the grass is green.

Well, its nice to see that at least one branch of the military hasn't caved to political correctness. To bad it isn't the Army.

Be sure and send me a picture...... 
The problem here is going to be former MS governor Ray "Hollywood Handsome with a Hairlip" Mabus, the SecNav. His heart and other parts hemorrhage so freely that he has to change tampons every two hours. He has stated that the study (proof/logic) will not change his opinion on opening all jobs to all genders. F#*K combat effectiveness!

As has been said before - force gender integration into professional sports - particularly full contact sports - first.
Televise the brutal effects of full force hits from men on women and let the masses see the devastation in its full glory. Remind them all that there a rules to keep the athletes safe that do not exist in combat, and that there is a difference between playing a game and entering a zero-sum conflict - do so before and after every match and after every injury sustained by a woman.
If they can stomach it and ask for more, then begin the talks of opening combat roles to women.

I think you might have something there ....
Say, start with pillow fights and as it gets more widely accepted, the cadets/middies/zoomies could slip bricks, rocks, k-pots etc. into their cases
Start by broadcasting it on Spike TV then as it gets more and more accepted, move it over to ESPN2.
Ima gonna start me a go-fund-me page and get this going ....

That will never work. It will just get spun as another example of the military abusing women and protecting the hypermale military culture.

You are right, the women would be abused and that would be definately be unfair so we would have to ensrue that there would be a General Officer faculty advisor for each team to monitor practices and approve the coaches ordering of the depth chart.. but I'm sure those issues could be overcome.
The outcome however would be that the teams would be more diverse... From the training that I have received in the Army I know there is strength in diversitay. So our acdemy teams would therefore be stronger across the board.
I see no downside and besides I would love to see the now stronger academy teams competing for national championships.

First they would do a school-wide search of possible applicants, then they would receive time off of school in order to train specifically for the pillow fight...then they would go into the pillow fight with their own coach and mentor so that .... sometimes it's too difficult and takes too long to be witty and sarcastic. (where does billy find the time)?
