Gaetz withdraws

Women have been in combat roles for years. And they have done damn well.

Makes you wonder why the U.S. Army under Biden lowered fitness standard tests for women.

Army eases fitness test standards for women, older troops​

The latest change will allow women and soldiers to do a bit less in some of the events and still pass. For example, women would have to pick up 20 pounds less weight in the dead lift than men to pass, and men older than age 46 would also have a lower weight bar. Women and older men would get a minute or two longer to complete the run.

Doesn't make me wonder one bit. We have become a fat nation. It is hard to get recruits. The APFT has always been garbage. And if you have to look up the acronym, you clearly have no business talking about it. But you do you.

No it doesn't,.. There are combat roles and there are combat roles,.. Sorry, but women do not belong in situations where the risk of direct physical contact with the enemy exists,.. Not fair to them, not fair to their team.

1. Good.
2. Especially good that there are Senators who continue to recognize the prerogatives and place of the Senate in the bigger design.
3. It's an unusual thing in politics when almost 'everybody wins'. In no particular order - Johnson gets labor peace in his party, Trump scopes out his "real" pull and gets a chit from Johnson, Senators don't have to go through shit show, D's claim a scalp, some house R's get more personal revenge, and most importantly, the rest of us don't get Gaetz as AG. About the only loser is Gaetz, though we'll see if he shows up somewhere else like cruise director at Mar a lago.
There is nothing good in this process. It’s been a s**t show, and it will be replicated. This is what many of us knew would happen when people didn’t vote, or people “voted their principles”, to vote Trump, or to leave that spot blank.

And, you still couldn’t pass that test.
Women are fighting for Israel and Ukraine, Beta Boy.

My CD-01 wins because Gaetz is gone.

I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective. Hasn’t made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated,” he said in a podcast hosted by Shawn Ryan on Nov. 7. Women have a place in the military, he said, just not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units. Direct recent interview.

can see his point about special ops or infantry. But armor units and artillery.

Your response makes no sense.

Fatness doesn't apply to just one sex.

Women should be held to the same standards.

Finally, and I'll try to move on. We have an all volunteer military. The women know what they are getting into.
That’s what people fail to realize.

Until we started the all volunteer military, people didn’t have a choice. They were drafted.

Many other countries have mandatory service.

One of my good friends, daughter of an AF officer, was career army, now a recruiter for the NG.

The problem is not women. It’s kids that think it’s an easy job, and they don’t have to “work”.

House requires special election.
Senators are appointed by governors. DeSantis has a short list for Senate.
Iowa passed a law that if the governor dies or is selected for another government role, they can appoint their successor. I voted against this measure. Have a special election.

Sounds like FL has a similar measure. How common is this?
