CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — For the first time, the Marine Corps has put three enlisted female Marines in a ground combat unit once open only to men, officials said Thursday.
They will serve as a rifleman, machine gunner and mortar Marine, said 1st Lt. John McCombs, spokesman for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejuene.
They report Thursday to the 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, which has had three female officers in its ranks for several months to help integrate the enlisted females into the unit, McCombs said. The women’s names and ranks were not released.
“This process ensures the Marine Corps will adhere to its standards and will continue its emphasis on combat readiness,” McCombs said in an email. MORE

That was written long ago. I’m sure that Chesty Puller wouldn’t recognize his country or his Marine Corp after eight years of Ocorpseman’s social engineering. God speed, Donald Trump.
“pregnancy, menstruation and the cramps that come with them.”
only idiots would think this was a good idea.
are the new shock troops large groups of menstrualy synced women storming over the ridge?
This is just wrong, not acceptable.
Probably not a good idea to reject 40,000 years of experience … but hey!

the insanity continues, women and men are the same? there is no common sense in this current perverse reconstruction of society and the cost is becoming more clear

It appears that thing are finally going “tits-up”.
Semper Falacio!
They should put women in an all-female combat unit just the universities put women on an all-female sports team! A Title IX for combat!
A machine gunner? Really?? How many extra men are needed to carry her gear for her?
This was done over the protest of the Corps. This is Ash Carter’s baby. And President Pussy.
Draft the feminists.
I hope their on their period as they’ll kick some ass for sure. I’m female and can say that. 🙂 Even if you’re male, you can say it too.
So I guess you guys never heard of Xena, Warrior Princess? sarc
And how heavy is that mortar? Or does she just aim it while some grunt carries it?
MORTAR Marine? You’re shittin’ me, right? Lugging around all that heavy shit is for guys built like fireplugs – short, squat and massively muscled. That broad will probably carry the firing pin or the sight while the rest of the mortar platoon has to carry all the extra shit she should be carrying.
Well now, if hostility counts for anything this might be an ok idea. Men are too eager to get along. I am always amazed by the manners and comportment of men among themselves. Only partly kidding.
All the hard-hitting, smart, ass-kicking heroes out of Hollyweird are all hens – so this makes a lot of sense.
Come to think of it, why don’t we (guys) just make the hens and faggots defend US, for a change?
Sit back, have a wine spritzer, watch the shopping channel, eat bon-bons, and cry when the news comes on about how unfair the Universe is?
We could have, like – Guy Affirmative Action – where we are accepted to any University, regardless of our grades, and (all of us) graduate with “honors” and get high-paying jobs in the Media and Academia. The dumbest cluck in the barnyard could get a Nobel prize for fingering his ass while, simultaneously, picking his nose! We could get on TV and say shit like “moving forward” and “paradigm shift” and “at the end of the day” with a straight face.
Sorry – I’m done.

She’ll have a prolapsed poontang trying to lift a 81mm baseplate. This is just too stupid to beleave.
There are no trophies in the military, and these aren’t field goal kickers in some Saturday afternoon chick flick. Nothing good can come from this. Nothing.
