Woke liar
As a woman I need men to help open jars for me to please stop the nonesense
What a witty but true statement I thank you for it made my day. I was brought up to protect women.If there was one next to me in combat I Would be more concerned with her than I.Would the guy in the foxhole with me?I supposed to be protecting
@@alwiddowson382 and I think that makes you narrowminded for millions of years. It is always been the parents job to protect their children that never stopped so why should your woman be less capable of defending her family if you fall for me it’s two verses one is better than one versus one. Our jobs as parents is to make sure that our kids are safe and that we are here to keep them safe if we’re dead, they’re not safe do you understand?
Women degrade the military.
Ĥes yet another DEI hire. 😂😂😂😂😂
In the Army I saw some women that could do the job definitely most of them unfortunately couldn’t! Make it about ability not quotas
@@joshborja8012 I would be curious to know when you were in.Would you want a woman next to you in a fox hole?Would you be worried more about her than you Would be about the soldier Is with you in your fox hole? I’m only asking because I was in the Marines and I Don’t believe my concentration level would be the same, I believe I would favor protecting a woman next to me.
And that could cost a soldier’s life
@alwiddowson382 I was in 2000 to 2024. Tank crew and yeah I saw some women that were tougher than some of the guys they recruit now a days, but for most yeah we had to do our job and theirs
@joshborja8012 Well, thank you for your service and congratulations on your retirement.I appreciate you responding . I wish you a happy healthy Retirement.
My friend.
For All American boys that were brought up to protect women, cast it to the side, Pay , no attention to protecting the Women. All the things your parents taught you about opening doors for women. Lifting heavy objects for them all of that cast it aside . You see a woman getting in a fight with a man on the street.You let her take care of herself Because this
Quota that was Appointed to the secretary of defense said so. Well news for you quota. The American.
People have spoken very loudly, November 5th. And until democrats start thinking with their head instead of being worried about who you’re going to offend you will never be in power again.
This is a joke.. He is a joke for saying this.. I want no woman with me if I’m in a foxhole.. If this so true I dont see no women on the DMZ.. They fail special forces training.. How the hell a woman makes readiness stronger.. Preparing meals and putting band aids on maybe.. This is a joke..
Ya ok dude. They can barley cut the lawn
How many women generals are there in the military if they make the military stronger and better?
Your out of here mister. Dip stick
What a simp.
Wrong 😂
IF THIS CLOWN HAD A BRAIN HE WOULD BE OUT LOOKING FOR IT!!!
Smh this why I support Pete Hegseth as DOD Sec
Please. What EXACTLY did you see that’s “incredible”? If they did some amazing feat-say it! That’s all 🐂 💩 platitudes!! for my frame, no matter HOW toned or in shape I am, I’d NEVER be able to pick up a fallen comrade,that’s 6’5, 275lbs..with their gear on too, and run with them on my back!! I know my physical limitations and refuse to put any mans life in danger!! They’d need to depend on me, like I on them!! I’m a woman, I’m strong in other ways that are JUST as important. I don’t need to be in combat to do that!! And I’m OK with that! ❤USA💪🏽🇺🇸 RESPECT THE MILITARY!
Austin epitomizes poor leadership. He has trashed the military.
Having served in combat twice in a Frontline unit, I can tell you the guy is full of garbage. Just on the surface, if women are so good at combat in the military then why can’t they be drafted ? If you had an all female military, it would collapse and we would be taken over the next day. An all male military could only be stronger in every particular component. Any football team that had female players would only be weaker.
I am a female veteran and no, women do not need to be in combat roles. They have completely lowered standards. Terrible idea.
Can he define the term woman for us? Bet he can’t
That’s because there is no objective definition of “woman.” You’re not as smart as you think you are.
The delusion
This WOKE guy needs to go
