Women are entitled, literally, to serve in the armed forces if they wish. I doubt it impacts on readiness, as our military forces haven't taken on and defeated a serious, disciplined, well-equipped opposing force since WW II and you can't blame our failures on women. Blame the generals...they're in charge. You really can't blame our results on the military. Of course I can blame "the military" leadership. If the military has a plan and it is nixed by politicians, the generals involved can resign their commission. That is not the way it works. The military is under the command of the commander in chief and congress. You really don't want them to make the decisions to go to war themselves do you? You had Johnson lying us into a wars, and then sitting up all night deciding what they should bomb and what they shouldn't based on political goals, not military ones. The US never lost a battle in Vietnam and they still lost the war because we never allowed the military to hold the ground they took the day before. There was never really a strategic military objective, only tactical ones that were achieved every time. We did the same thing in Iraq. Nobody knew what a win was supposed to look like. We achieved all of the military objectives. At least in Kuwait, we had a goal and the military was smart enough to quit when they achieved it. (in 100 hours) Then the politicians moved the goal posts, bombed Iraq for another decade, eventually invading, with no plan of what to do when they succeeded. That was 26 years and five presidents ago and we are still mired in the same ****. You can't blame the military for that. |
