IsraelisJewish,

We too think alike.

Every day I ponder whether I'll ever outright OC, but I know for sure I won't go to great lengths to cover up anymore...you say you got a peep of my OWB holstered Glock 19 because my vest was hit by the wind and flapped open, no problem...

Breny414,

Leftists are few and far between on this board.

Given your penchant for leftist sloganeering, what do you hope to accomplish coming here?

Few accept your professed bona fides as a pro gun person.

What's your agenda coming here?

If you really care to learn more about shooting, guns and accessories, CHL questions, etc., you must appreciate those with these honest inquires are welcomed.

You however, seem to be a rather obvious contrivance.

Please, demonstrate I'm wrong.

Breny414,

C'mon, admit it, you're from "Moms Demand Action" aren't you?

The one think I'm certain of is you aren't from OCT...

Breny414,

VMI77 explained it clearly.

Women aren't and never will be the physical equal of men. Yes, there are a few exceptions, very few...

Political correctness will not make females the physical equal of men, ever.

I know, you don't want to accept that, but truth is stronger than political correctness.

Breny414, (FIRE MISSION - A little Red Leg humor for you)

Supply clerks don't get to experience the up close/personal physical misery/monumental effort war fighters experience.

So, they don't really know the physical brutality it takes to keep up with the sheer, gut grinding effort to fight.

I will acknowledge a handful of women could hack it, but until and unless evolution creates mesomorphic Amazon women, few have what it takes to even be a simple Infantry soldier, never mind the extra it takes to be a Special Forces Operator.

I'm a bit curious with no insult whatsoever intended:

Are you a male or female?

Breny414,

Are you prior military?

Those who offer their opinions without ever having been in, especially the war fighter MOS's, where the physical demands are severe, are offering up something they know nothing about.

But, yes, it's all the PC rage to equate women with men as physical equals.

Baloney!

Javier730,

Were you in the military?

If so, what was your MOS?

Me, I was in the Army Infantry, MOS 11C10, 81mm mortars.

Ever hefted a mortar baseplate?

Very few women could. (It's a heck of a struggle for young, strong guys)

Yes, a very few women could, but not across the board. And, mortars aren't nearly as physically difficult to manhandle as mere ground pounders have to fight with, that is, vanilla Infantry soldiers (MOS11B10) who must ruck grueling, heavy loads for long distances while often under fire.

I do know that many feel compelled to over state what women can physically do. It feels chivalrous to say so, but it's simply not correct to equate the physical strength of women as the equal of men. It defies logic.

Do I sneer at women in the military? No! I admire them, but they cannot physically live up to the demands required of war fighters. Who, by the way, make up only 10% of the military. The other 90% are there in a support capacity.

Can women do combat "type" work?

Oh yeah.

Think Russian women snipers...Think Israeli women soldiers.

Can they do Special Forces type combat?

No!

Why?

They're not physically built for it.

That's not a slur - They're simply not as strong as men in a multitude of physical ways...

Muslims have a parallel with Christians in that there is plenty of internecine doctrinal religious differences, i.e. like the differences between say Methodists vs. Baptists, or even more divided, Catholic school of thought vs. various Protestant schools of thought.

Muslims suffer these same schisms and are often willing to kill each other when disagreement arises.

Just being a Muslim may not comport with a terrorist if the Muslim isn't his kind of Muslim...

Just being Muslim isn't necessarily a get out of jail free situation when confronted by a radical Muslim...You have to be the "right kind of Muslim" or bam, you're dead too.

The Garland shooting of terrorists produced: "That was another example they mentioned of Texas's unfriendliness towards Islam."

Unfriendliness?

So the PD should've let the terrorists enjoy carte blanche to wreak mayhem in order to show our Texas friendliness?

That's nuts!

Anyone remember Garland and the terrorists that the PD took out pronto?
