They're not contradicted. They're irrelevent.
I will not **** green eggs and ham; I will not **** them, Sam I am?
Don't try to rewrite history. You've based multiple attacks at me, which I already said and you are conveniently ignoring now. You'll also note that I only mentioned that you ignored the PM, not that it had any bearing on anything.
And, it's amazing to me how quickly you and others fall into the same patterns that you so vehemently accuse others of.
Which is why you are engaging in equivocation. Thank you.
Perhaps you should read more carefully.
No, of course I don't think people should be dying in Iraq, which is one reason I've never supported the war. It's why I say that I can support the troops even though I don't support the war. What has this to do with the price of tea in China, except that you've a priori assumed that women in GCF will get people killed?
Melodramatic? If I were in a position to select people for a mission, I would want the best person available, period. If I have a woman that I think can do the job better than a man, I'm taking the woman.
True, I'm not in that position, so it's all talk. But, I don't conclude that having a penis makes one a better soldier, and when it comes down to it, I want the best people around me to protect my ass. If you have a priori assumptions that men are automatically the best, then I can see why you would only take men.
I don't care what you call it.
I'm not the only one who hasn't caught that yet.
Huh?
...is clearly not written with any deep malice.
Why does the female sailor get released, huh? Do you think that the Iranians are freeing her because the other 14 she was captured with are fighting over who gets to bone her rather than concentrating on being the most professional prisoners for the job?
No, I think they are releasing her due to the (incorrectly) increased pressure over women captives. In our patriarchal culture, we value women's lives more than men in certain perverse situations, while doing the exact opposite in others. We're funny that way.
Look, I have no desire to fight about this, I simply wanted to let you know that I wasn't in on the joke. That's all.
These aren't Rambo "missions", combat is a team effort, and in a team most capable does not mean best person. The most important part of being in combat is not in being able to physically do the job.
It has nothing to do with the best person, it has to do with the right team. And no, your "team building" excersices you run at your office are no indicator of how things are, or would be, in a combat unit.
You do realize that you have just stated one of the primary reasons as to why women are a bad idea in a mixed gender combat unit. Too bad you are incapable of grasping that concept it seems.
I'm not going to rehash old arguments anymore for you (this is what, the third time you've asked me to do that?)
What, patriarchal values? Thank you for proving my point.
well slap my ass & call me sally: you are for having ex-cons serve in combat (and everyone else who i've previously enumerated yet who are discriminated against).
Equivocation again.
Nah, she would have been rape bait for the Green Knight and his brother the KluKluxKlan Knight.
..nope just agreeing with you...some people have a hard time deciding to agree to disagree...D
Can we agree to disagree and avoid another 265 posts ending with someone getting their feelings hurt?
You know, that's not such a bad idea!
Someone needs to do the dishes in the foxhole.
Good Lord... next thing you'll start lauching personal attacks at people, complaining about your title, bitching that everyone is picking on you, and finally become the second incarnation of the Black Knight (or is it the third).
come to think of it, jessica lynch was easier to carry out than pat tillman
That's only because the superior male marksman in Tilmans squad filled him with so much lead.
interesting observation.The iranians support females in combat too. Of all the captured Brits only the female has issued an apology to iran for supposedly violating their territory. She's also wearing a burka in the video. Spineless pvssy.
He was in more pieces than her.
