On Women In Combat: Part 2 – Rangers Going Co-ed

Rangers Lead The Way! The Army is addressing the specifics of the plan to allow female soldiers to join infantry battalions and – associated with that move – to make the prestigious Ranger School co-ed, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said Wednesday. The Army’s top leader said he wants to give women every [...]

On Women In Combat

NoOneOfAnyImport reblogged and commented on a post from a little while back about female Marines going to Infantry Officer School: I found an interesting development and good analysis over at The Patriot Perspective. Saying that women don’t belong isn’t too popular a stance nowadays.  Still, it needs saying sometimes.  It doesn’t mean women should have [...]

WTF, Marines? (Update: WTF, Secret Service?)

Via UK DailyMail: American marines injured a Brazilian prostitute after throwing her out of an official Embassy car, it was reported today. Romilda Ferreira was left with a broken collar bone, two broken ribs and a punctured lung after the incident in Brazil’s capital Brasilia. The three marines on a U.S. Embassy security team, and [...]

Female Marines to Infantry Officer School

Via the insulting leftist social-engineers at  Gannett Marine Corps Times: The Marine Corps school that produces infantry combat officers will enroll its first-ever female students this year, Marine Corps Times has learned. As part of the service’s extensive research campaign to determine what additional jobs could be opened to women, an undetermined number of volunteers [...]

Two Honor Students Ruthlessly Murdered By Warmongering Babykillers

…is what the headline would read if this ever hit the mainstream media. JACKSONVILLE, N.C.– Two Camp Lejeune Marines returned home early Sunday morning to find two men in their house. The intruders didn’t make it out of the house alive. 33-year-old, Maurice Skinner and 33-year-old, Diego Everette were identified by police as the men killed [...]

Insurgents Inside the Wire

From the Marine Corps Blog: Lance Cpl. Harry Lew kept falling asleep on his post in Afghanistan. As punishment, two other lance corporals in his unit made Lew do push-ups, leg lifts and side planks. They poured sand in his face and mouth, kicked him and punched him for several hours. Shortly after this degrading and [...]

Katy Perry Does Something New

It’s an actual new thing for Hollywood and the music industry to do.  Or rather, a really old thing, but for the last few decades, we haven’t seen much of it. A comment from another website: I always knew Marines were made in gas station bathrooms.   YAT YAS!

Revisited Yet Again, USMC Scout Sniper Story…

…was apparently kicked off by an academic who was a scout platoon leader in 2003-2004.  Or so Mother Jones claims.  Which could be completely meaningless. I know the previous post on this topic was intended to be the last, but, like Colombo, there’s just one more thing. When Marine investigators learned last November that a [...]

A (Not) Final Note on the Corps’ Latest Media Incident

Combat Marines are mostly late teens and 20somethings who don’t really care.  They live a rough life, and what goes on in a combat zone is significantly different than what goes on stateside. MRFF, whose acronym sounding like someone being gagged is quite appropriate, while their full name is quite Orwellian, found a website where [...]

Marines and the MRFF

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation seems to be the ones screaming the most about Marine scout snipers using SS as their mark, which they co-opted from the old, bad guy SS that wore Hugo Boss uniforms. So who is the MRFF? At it’s head is Mikey Weinstein, an Air Force lawyer turned lawyer turned lawyer [...]
