You might want to put a little more research into this meme before trotting it out. Israel has only one combat BN with women in it, they've only been in one firefight (in a country where those aren't uncommon), and did not do particularly well. Even Wikipedia will get you there.

You watch too many movies/hang out on to many MRA sites.

Have you used that pepper spray? Because, when it stops a person in their tracks, it takes much longer than the time it takes an armed man to run up and stab you.

Maybe they were trigger happy, but pepper spray would not have been effective. If the cops were right, the victim would have been stabbed repeatedly…

That's not a thing. Shooting a limb of a moving person with a handgun is impossible, and even if it weren't, the round would go right through, ricochet off the ground, fragment, and cause more damage. Whenever you pull the trigger, you aim center mass.

Mine does. Some of us worked our ways through our "college" years.

Living seven years with someone you love and having a home before you are thirty, in of itself, is impressive. Even if they break up tomorrow, it is likely worth it

I think if your reaction to a sister getting engaged, regardless of expense, would be horror it says more about you than her.

I have the other half of that fetish! My partner is nice enough to humor me, but its kind of an aberration from our normal dynamic.

One in three Americans own guns.

ETA: he might have owned a gun, but that does not mean that gun ownership is bad.

There was none, dumbass. SSoldiers are not allowed to have weapons on base outside the training areas. Additionally, soldiers who live in the barracks are not allowed personal firearms. Finally, concealed carry and open carry permits are not valid on base. No one can carry unless they are a police officer or are…

You need to hang out with more kids.

I learned, from people that know, that at distances less than 3 yards, a man with a concealed knife is a greater threat than someone with a gun, even if you, yourself, have already drawn

Kids lie by default. I ask my 2 year old who ate the cookies, and she answers "Elmo", and I don't think shes ever been punished for anything,

I am not sure in what alternate universe you live in where children are born sainted.

Well-played, Squid.

Side note, service people should not be signing the petition. They can request mast, tell the chain of command, or tell their congressperson, but its totally inappropriate for them to sign a petition to the Commander-in-chief. There's a chain of command and a NCO chain of leadership for a reason.

You joined the Army,…

Interferes with gas masks and Kevlar helmets

Men's hair grows faster?

Or is your point that woman are more attached to their hair than men? Because the Army exists to fight wars, not to preserve your heritage or sense of self.

Black men have to shave their heads.

Just make everyone shave their head or keep it less than 2 inches at the top. Problem solved.

Bonus: gets us one step closer to women in combat arms.

Yea, but its made harder with the presumptions and requirements of ERISA staring down your back.
